<span style="font-weight: bold;">Ron Polk</span> for better or worse is MSU's Ronald Reagan: a visionary who got people excited and proud of MSU baseball. Like Reagan, Polk's second term wasn't quite as successful, but Polk will be remembered as fondly as Reagan is.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Tommy Raffo</span> is Hillary Clinton circa 1998. Smart, but deferred his own aspirations to earn the job by staying home. Clinton eventually was elected Senator in her own right. Will Raffo become head coach?
<span style="font-weight: bold;">John Cohen</span> is Barack Obama. Smart. Well-Regarded. Experienced, and by some reports even charismatic, but does he have enough experience at the highest level?
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Dan McDonnell</span> is John McCain. Very well respected, but there are <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Republicans</span> MSU fans who wonder about <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">politicians</span> coaches who seem to be friendly with <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Democrats</span> Rebels.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pat Casey</span> is Rudolph Giuliani. He's the name candidate who has the positive buzz, but does he want the job?
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mike Kinnison</span> is Bill Richardson. He's got lots of experience and is underrated.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Brian O'Connor</span> is Mike Huckabee. He has executive experience and is energetic.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Tim Corbin</span> is Mitt Romney. Romney made Republicans relevant in Massachusetts. Corbin made baseball relevant in Vanderbilt.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mike Anderson</span> is John Edwards. He's well-regarded enough to make circulating lists of potential candidates, but does he have enough experience?
<br style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Steve Smith</span> is Joe Biden. He's seen as an expert in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">foreign relations</span> pitching and has plenty of coaching experience.

The above has the potential to be quite dumb, but I figured I'd post it anyway... This is what happens when a coaching search occurs during an election year.
