Is it me, or do you smell a McCain landslide?
If he’s smart, he’ll play it up for all its worth, like JFK going to Paris, and introducing himself as “the man who accompanied Jackie to Paris.”
McCain needs to step back, bask in he glow, and take credit only for rescuing the Republican party for years to come, and for being the father of the post-boomer Republican party. A generation of Palins, Jindals, Cantors, etc.
The choice of Palin was the spark that lit the torch, and it will be McCain’s to pass to the next generation.
You’re right, we all owe McCain—and Cindy too, who was his key adviser after her last interview!—for, gulp, restoring the Reagan coalition!
Actually, I think this is brilliant strategic thinking.
McCain should step back and let Palin basque in the sunlight. Why? True, she's a major headliner right now. It calls the base and disaffected, alienated democrats and independents to them.
More importantly, it keeps McCain from overexposure and allows him to peak more slowly prior to the election. We don't want an "Obama Style Burnout", we want the movement to grow steadily until it peaks on election day.
Well, that's just me yappin'. Maybe it's the coffee. Who knows? Cheers!
I’m voting for Palin and whoever she’s running with. If you can’t have Duncan Hunter, this is the next best thing.
I think this is why I was so filled with emotion with the announcement. The woman thing is really secondary to me, but the future of conservatism and the future of the party are not. I could see all kinds of changes and good things to come with Palin, Jindal, etc. It's shaping up to be a very good future for the US.
