Mr. Ambinder, a CORRECTION if you will: It's "Fired Up, Ready to Go."

What, no "Drill, Baby, Drill!" ?!?

Anyhow, nothing could possibly contest "Yes We Can."

Marc, I love you, but this poll is seriously lacking. For one, these are more slogans. How dull! These were far from the catchphrasiest things said in politics this year.

Where's "you're likable enough"?
Where's "Lipstick!"?
"My friends" or "No way. No how. No McCain" or "Maverick!" or "cut his f***ing nuts off" or "cling to their guns" or "literally, ladies and gentlemen"!?

To recap this election right, check out: http://thisfuckingelection.com/

That said, even if all of the above were in, I still probably would have voted for "Yes We Can." Well, maaaaybe "my friends" could have swayed me. And I do have a soft spot for Biden-isms. So see, you should have made it a fair fight.
