You're asking the GOP to put its selection process in upheaval 3 months before the election, and right when a major military power is flexing its muscles? Isn't that what the DIMocrats are supposed to be considering? Why in heck would the GOP commit suicide like that?
I'm no partisan for McCain. You'll see on this forum I've stated I'll not vote for the man. But what you propose is political suicide. Militarily, McCain is the best that can be offered right now. Domestically and on the illegal-immigration issues he's a disaster. But this is one area he shines in.
I agree with the posters who've said this could be a blessing in disguise for the GOP this year. It's going to shine the light on Obama's inexperience and naivety like nothing else.
Better than National.
All the more so because of our energy vulnerability, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Obama, etc. and their suicidal policies. You see, THIS war (in Georgia) IS a war about oil. Russia is consolidating its position in control of a major oil-producing and shipment area, and there's not much that we can do. Even if Pelosi & Co. get out of the way immediately, it'll still take us a few years to get production ramped up. I hope that McCain makes a HUGE deal about the connection between high energy prices, naked aggression overseas and Obama's inexperience.
