2008: The sleaziest, diva-iest, gaffiest, orneriest, profanest, aggrievedest, schizoiest, resurrectedest... & coolest

By GottaLaff

The listiest:

A Newark Star Ledger review of Game Change notes this "is not a look at big ideas or political theologies, but at categories: who is the sleaziest (John Edwards, a shoo-in); the most air-headed and diva-like (Sarah Palin, again a shoo-in); the gabbiest and most gaffe-prone (Joe Biden, by at least 1,000 words); the orneriest (Bill Clinton, especially during Bubba mode in South Carolina); the most tempestuous and profane (John McCain, cursed like a sailor); the most aggrieved (Hillary Clinton, with some justification); the schizo wife (Elizabeth Edwards, saintly on the outside/beastly with John); the resurrected wife (Michelle Obama, a winner after early stumbling); and the coolest (Barack Obama, from pillar to post)."

Shortiest and to the pointiest.
