the name of the game in presidential politics has been: “My team is different from those Washington guys that are responsible for the mess we are currently in.” Only this year the mess is particularly messy and the need for Washington insider McCain to distance himself particularly urgent. Thank goodness the candidate on the other side has the wrong skin color; else this race would be over by now. I have an idea: Let’s nominate a clueless but photogenic WOMAN for the vice presidency. We’ll pretend that she is an unspoiled outsider and make up some stuff, like; she is a true maverick, fiscally responsible and has never sought to waste taxpayer money. The gullible U.S. public will buy it and we can resume driving the country into the ground. Sounds like a plan. Unfortunately the facts are otherwise.
