ghwb gave us CLINTON
gwb gave us OBAMA
Don’t forget it.
Funny I thought McCain-Palin ran against Obama, not Bush. Bush was term-limited out, and the voters—thanks to allowing independents in primaries—chose to have John McCain as
the nominee. (Perhaps we can change the “allow independents”
rule in; in states like Mass. “unenrolleds” may choose either Dem. or Rep. ballots. Don’t know if that applies to
every state, but McCain won more delegates this way.)
I also seem to remember it was Mr. McCain who chose Mrs.
Palin as a running mate. It could have been McCain-Romney
or McCain-Huckabee or something. Say what you will about
McCain but would there be all this buzz about her if she
were still governor of Alaska right now and not
a vice presidential nominee?
