So apparently Condi has discreetly hinted at wanting to be on McCain's ticket this fall.
My reaction to this: Too good to be true! Please Senator, choose Condoleeza Rice as your running mate. This is truly the experience ticket. Obama's "experience is no substitute for judgment" line will become exponentially more powerful.
If you are happy with the way our government has handled foriegn policy over the last eight years, Vote McSame/Rice!
Independents will run screaming.
Bigots will be left in a remarkable quandry.
There are so many possible slogans:
McCain/Rice: Bush is a Genius
McCain/Rice: There will be more Wars
McCain/Rice: Competency is Irrelevant
McCain/Rice: We speak lots of languages fluently
McCain Rice: Insert your joke here
This would be a very interesting strategy for the Republicans to take:
- Elect a guy that Republicans don't really like
1B) At least he appeals to independents
- Have said candidate pander disgustingly to far right of the party, alienating said independent voters.
- Give him the full endorsement of a madly unpopular president.
- Make sure his signature issue is one that 2/3rds of Americans disagree with him on.
- Saddle him with a VP candidate that represents EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN AMERICAN FORIEGN POLICY IN THE LAST 8 YEARS.
McCain isn't that dumb, is he....
