And I think the key to John McCain the politician is his life in that cell in Hanoi.

"I had a lot of time to think over there, and came to the conclusion that one of the most important things in life—along with a man's family—is to make some contribution to his country."

McCain in 2000?

Nope.

McCain in 2008?

Nope.

This is McCain in 1973. Just back from Vietnam. Before he left the Navy. Before he entered politics.

You know, I was thinking of what Sarah could do as VP that could really make a difference. If McCain is truly serious about shaking up his buddies in the Senate, she could make the Senate “veto proof” even if the senate gets 60 Dem seats after this election. Here’s why.

Today, the president does not get any face time on TV because the lefties control the TV media. But, since Sarah is a rock star, the networks would be willing to jump all overt themselves (for ratings) to let VP Palin take the issues to the people to keep the senate from over-riding important Presidential veto’s. Kinda of like Reagan did. McCain just needs to turn her lose to do the “dirty work”

One thing about the Dem Senators....they still will do what the public wants if they fear losing their jobs. And if McCain does not turn her lose, I believe Palin would quit as VP and run against him in 2012, or as an independant.

Things sure are interesting!
