What is analogy? I read Wikipedia's article on the subject and I found it a bit

What is analogy? I read Wikipedia's article on the subject and I found it a bit vague or something (for my poor brain, at least...). Is analogy the same as metaphor? Is analogical thinking non-scientific? As far as I see it, politicians are always drawing on analogies. Isn't that just rhetoric? I searched your site and I found the word "analogy" several times, but its use never seemed decisive to answer the questions.
