The August 15 issue of Entertainment Weekly featured interviews with presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. It was a light interview in which the reporter asked questions like, “Who controls the remote in your home?” “What was the last movie you saw in a theatre?” “Who do you think made the best president in a TV show or movie?” Knowing the reporter wasn’t out to get them and that there wasn’t any wrong answer, the candidates felt free to be spontaneous and give readers a glimpse of how “normal” the men are without having an agenda to promote or talking points they had to stick to.
For instance, McCain likes ABBA. The first movie he ever saw was Bambi. And while he never voted for an American Idol contestant, his wife, Cindy, called in for Jordin Sparks of Glendale, AZ. He also thought that Dennis Haysbert on 24 made the best president and his favorite superhero is Batman.
