McCain's Strategy

Sometimes this campaign looks like a Hollywood screenwriter wrote it. It’s like something out of West Wing. I expect at any moment Martin Sheen to come in with a cigarette and say: "Okay boys, let’s make a president!"
There are some real scenarios to chew on, though. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch endorsed John McCain. I think it was the writer Mike Sullivan from Fox who suggested that he would feel better about voting for McCain if he knew who his running mate was. What an interesting point. What if McCain announced who his running mate was? What if that person was young, attractive, fit, perhaps even a person from a visible minority? What sort of a stunning gesture would that be, not only showing confidence, as opposed to arrogance, about being the nominee but at the same time reassuring people, like those who read the Post-Dispatch need to be reassured, about McCain’s fitness, health and soundness. It’s not too late to do it. If McCain did it in the next couple of days before Super Tuesday, I think it could be a real devastating shot against Romney. So far, Romney doesn’t have anyone nominated for that and is in a much less obvious position to do that.
McCain is looking more and more like George C. Scott as Patton. All he is missing is a gigantic American flag behind him, the shiny helmet with the "A", britches, boots and a swagger stick up his ass. Apparently his record at Annapolis was as good as Custer’s at West Point. I want to know who is running mate is too.
The other thing that was brought up is what is Arnold Schwarzenegger listened to the Kennedy in his bed and jumped on the Obama bandwagon and actually supported Obama, a Democrat, for president? What a devastating gesture that would be. There’s not much time left to do it and Schwarzenegger would be fried forever as a Republican if he did it. But McCain got Lieberman to support him. Lieberman’s a Democrat Senator, albeit an independent one. Lieberman has far less to lose as a member of his party than Schwarzenegger stands to lose. Lately, though, he’s been acting more like a Democrat anyways. If he announced his support for Obama and also announced that he was joining the Democrats, it would create almost irresistible momentum for Obama.
Clinton said she found her voice. She didn’t point out that it was Bill’s.
