If McCain wants to win in the fall, there is one and only one obvious running mate he should choose. Hillary Clinton.
Imagine the ramifications.
He would instantly become the party of change at a time when voters are hungry for it.
He would not only scoop up all those unhappy Hillary supporters who have already said they’d vote for him, but also the ones who said they’d vote for Obama.
They could claim that reaching across the aisle would heal all the bad blood left by the Bush administration. It would achieve McCain’s all important separation from Bush for many voters.
Oh, there would be an uproar, but the Republicans would not desert him and vote for Obama.
One other compelling reason to choose Hillary as McCain’s VP: there are very few good candidates out there. Huckabee? Puh-leese. Who else could deliver so many sure votes? Who else could deliver Ohio, Florida and Pa to the Republicans without breaking a sweat?
Just imagine the PR value alone! The Republicans would be the history-changing party. The Republicans would rise above politics as usual! The GOP presenting a WOMAN candidate!
Please comment and explain why this nightmare could not possibly become a reality.
