Imagine, if you will, this news story:

The long and winding road for the Democratic presidential nomination is taking a surprising turn as it heads toward the convention in the "Mile High City", Denver, CO.

Democratic Super Delegates are calling for the contested nomination be resolved by "America's Ultimate Challenge": a 10 mile race up Colorado's Pikes Peak.

One party official says, "By having Hillary and Barack take on this 7,700 vertical feet accent, we are going to redefine what it means to run for President."

In Iraq, John McCain, bench pressing an armored Humvee, said he was ready to take on the winner of the Democrat's race in an Ultimate Fighting Championship.

"Only the winner in The Octagon is fit to be the commander-in-chief of the Pentagon" claimed McCain.

1. The policy differences between the two Democratic hopefuls are small. We need to make our decision based on the candidate's character -- and a physical challenge is a good measure of character.

2. Clinton and Obama each say that their universal heath care plan is best. But how healthy are they, themselves? Obama appears to be fit, but he only just stopped chain smoking Clinton has maintained her figure and/or weight very well. McCain? Well, just look at his 95 year old mother! They all need to be proven as "Fit to be President".

3. People want a president who is healthy because if you???re healthy you can think right.??? said former Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich. (He also said "I'm 60 years old... my wife is 29. You draw your own conclusions.")

4. Let's look at the last great American president: JFK. Kennedy had a slogan ???Let's get this country moving again???. While he was referring to the problem of unemployment, it could just as well have been said as part of his notable work to encourage physical fitness. The race between Hillary and Barack up Pikes Peak will set the example for all of America. We are ready now to "get this country moving again???.

1. While the Democratic Super Delegates propose a dignified Pikes Peak Ascent for Obama and Clinton, McCain butted in and upped the ante with a challenge to the winner to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. There is a broad difference between Obama, Clinton and Panamanian born Juan McCain.

2. Senators Obama and Clinton both benefit from a government run health plan already. Why not let everybody buy into the same health care plan senators and congressmen give themselves? But that is besides the point. "People want a president who is healthy because if you're healthy you can think right." Kucinich said it best.

3. Kucinich is 60 years old and his wife is 29. No point in mentioning that, really, except to point out that Kucinich is 60 years old and his wife is 29.

4. The Super Delegates should consider your suggestion of a Bake Off but in addition to, not a replacement for the Pikes Peak Ascent.

5. There is no #5.
