Which candidate has the most magic?

Thursday April 17, 2008
No, not those candidates. Take a break from the Hillary-Obama slugfest, and check out the candidates for the Chief Magic Official (CMO). Back in January, I wrote about Disney's search for a CMO for its U.S. parks. The field has been narrowed to three finalists, and the candidates are stationed at Walt Disney World for a grueling two days (Thursday, April 17, and Friday, April 18) of mostly silly challenges such as reorganizing a chaotic collection of rental strollers and creating towel animals at a resort hotel. Disney will be posting videos of the candidates as they tackle the challenges and opening up the contest to a final round of online voting. You can vote for your favorite candidate at Disney's CMO site through April 21. Disney will announce the CMO on April 22. Interestingly, all three of the finalists are male. Hmm. Perhaps this doesn't bode well for Hillary.
