If McCain goes conservative, in the sense, and only in this sense, that he picks an establishment candidate, i.e. a clone of Biden, meaning a mediocrity, he’ll be in big trouble and not only here. Dubya’s choice of Cheney was brilliant and won him the election. I think this is what Obambi was attempting to duplicate with his ridiculous (to us here) choice. McCain has got to beat that, and I’m afraid that he won’t, unless whoever whispered in Dubya’s ear in 2000 will advise him now.
