It's president pickin' time! For you Republicans, that means you've got some important wheat to separate from some important chaff: which candidate will get your vote? No easy matter! So we've boiled it down into terms we can all understand.
With today's Iowa caucus and next week's New Hampshire slugfest, the already catty GOP nomination game is only going to get more bitter and complicated. They've all got clashing views that flop back and forth, as politicians' positions tend to. But figuring out where each man (and that woman) stands on the issues is so time consuming—and besides, most of them won't even win! So save yourself some effort and just go with your inner gadget fanboy.
Newt Gingrich — Android Ice Cream Sandwich
Robotic. Soft-spoken. Extremely difficult to figure out. There's nothing flashy about Newt—he's a pragmatic guy who wants to empower himself. He purports to have straightened himself out as an ideal of openness despite a confused history.
Mitt Romney — iPhone
Romney has more money than a third world country and is 70% eye candy.
Jon Huntsman — Windows Phone
In spite of his competition, there are some surprisingly good ideas lurking behind the gregarious dude's handsome face. If only anyone knew who he was.

CAN'T TRUST MOTOROLA, GONNA ROOT THIS THING AS IS MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
