“If we believed that everyone was on the short list who the media spoon fed us as being on it, the short(sic) list would be 200 names long and include the waiter at Denny’s where McCain ate last week.”
Well, the writer is citing a source inside the campaign, but the more apt point might be: why in the hell does anyone in the McCain campaign want to float the name of anyone who disagrees with Republicans on practically every issue except Iraq?
Do they purposely want to alienate more Republicans? This is not smart politics.
We all know how these 'sources' are. For all we know 'the' campaign is Obama's campaign. I just don't trust anything the media says until it actually happens. All stories like this are meant to do is get us pissed off (as if McCain hasn't done enough to cause that) and sit out. We need to keep pushing McCain to do the right thing.
