It’s such a bold and brilliant move - on so many levels!
Obvious: O’Hussein and O’Biden must go back and do the jobs for which they were elected - they won’t decide to do this just right now (can’t be seen as the lackeys that they really are), but will eventually “see the light”.
Don’t forget that none of the senators - McC, BOH, and Plugs - have resigned their positions (wasn’t it only Dole who did that?) to run for higher office. Their PAID jobs are in the well of the US Senate.
That leaves only Palin - who as a state governor really has no say in federal legislation - to continue campaigning. And, if BOH refuses, send the pitbull to debate him. He’ll get creamed!
Palin can still campaign. Her State has a 9 billion dollar budget surplus.
John McCain, you magnificent bastard!
oooh...that's a great idea. McCain issues a statement saying that's he's helping to implement the economic fix and that he's confident in the judgment and skills of his vp to participate in a political debate with Obama. I would LOVE to see that!
This is a very interesting idea. Think about it: Mac goes back to WDC and Obama/Biden continue on the stump (probable). Then Mac asks for the debates to be moved and the O/B campaign says no (they are on a Friday so hopefully, nobody will see O get his ass kicked).
So Mac can say "I am busy fixing the econony, but you can debate my VP, if you can't be bothered to help...", which would put O into a terrible position. He can't debate her: it elevates her position, while demeaning both his and Biden's position. He can't NOT debate her also, because he would be portrayed as running from the very person that his campaign has impugned so far.
And, it is a win-win-win, since Obama is a terrible debater, he would likely "lose" the debate (since the conventional wisdom would be that he would "win") with Palin.
There is only upside by painting Obama in this corner.
