But he won’t. Once he’s running against a Democrat, the press, which supports him against everyone to his right, will savage McCain with Keating Five stories, stories about his temper, and even (hypocritical thought it will be) attacks on him for supporting liberal positions they agree with.
Between that, and enough of the base sitting on their hands, he’ll lose, pretty much without regard to who he picks as his VP.
I’m afraid this is a ‘worse is better’ situation: hope he doesn’t pick a conservative VP (meaning he goes with Huckabee, or if he’s daring Lieberman) and goes down to defeat. Then the disaster of four years of unchecked liberalism will be blamed on the Democrats, and the GOP bigwigs might get the idea that running RINOs is not the way to win elections, and that our primary structure, which favors RINOs, is broken, and fix it.
why would they attack him on liberal positions? That would just get moderates and independents to vote for him because they see him as “being his own man” like O’reilly. I think that mcCain has figured out a strategy to get the media on his side because you need that in order to win.
MSM discussing the 2008 election: "We have the stupid dhimmis stuck in the losing position
of rooting for someone they don't like or trust to beat someone else they dont't like or trust.
And WE have the stolen FBI files on whoever is left. We win."
