Will Thomas wrote a brief post on TPM remarking on two under-reported aspects of McCain's selection of Palin for his VP running mate. The second one is of high interest to this blog:
"Shock. The pick caught everyone by surprise, including the Obama camp...."
Just imagine how "shocked" the "Obama camp" would be if, in a week or two, they found that Barack was running against Dave Petraeus. That has been my point all along for repeatedly writing about the unlikely Petraeus/Lieberman '08 Republican strategy: if you're going to shake things up with a so-called "hail Mary pass", it needs to be one that really could change the game. As opposed to pulling the stupidest political stunt ever executed since my brain was first fully developed.
And don't rule out Lieberman yet, either. Josh Marshall makes my point with this one word post: "Eagleton"? If Palin bails or is forced to withdraw, doesn't it seem likely that the petulant McCain would return to his first choice?

hey, you could reach that covetted 3rd tier if you keep this up.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very dangerous week ahead. All of this stupid stunt, not to mention the stupid storm, have us focused on the dummy while the real bad guys are busy preparing the biggest theft in history. It's always scary when you don't know where Dick is.
