I knew it was over once he secured the nomination.
I too knew it was over once he secured the nomination.
It was clear that the “brains”, the “deciders” at the DNC
had fatally decided to roll the dice on “the new guy” and call an end to the hazardous Clinton Era. Mighta had a chance, if they’d played it right and at least made a show of inviting Hillary on the ticket as VEEP, whether she was interested in the slot , or not. But THEN to top it off, Obama picks Biden, who is the epitome of the Beltway status quo, and THEN, McCain picks Palin, possibly the most brilliant and risky move I have ever seen in AMerican Politics, and THAT was the coup de grace. If the DNC had decided at the outset to let Hillary have her day, and pushed her, Obama would be history,and if Hillary had made an exciting VEEP pick, and McCain a safe and stupid one, Hillary might have actually had a chance to be President/
As it turned out Mc Cain made the brilliant pick, and Obama the stupid one, and it’s all downhill from here. I have been saying, even BEFORE Palin, that McCain would win AT LEAST 55/45. Now it will be 60/40. You heard it here first, and last. McCain got a shot of political Viagra, and the results are visible every day, and he just may not turn out to be the old John McCain after all. I think Sarah will have an energizing effect on him too.
