Bob Novak tells the world that his sources tell him that John McCain will pick his Veep this week. The reasoning? He wants to take some of the press away from Obama’s foreign adventures.
Novak will give no names, but he points out that “Mitt Romney has led the speculation recently.” If the campaign wants to steal some of Barry’s thunder, Romney is not the man to do it. McCain’s pick will have to be exciting in some way: a woman, a minority, an Independent-Democrat. Or a beloved public action-figure, like, say Charlie Crist. Yeah, right. Try Rudy, with whom McCain attended Sunday afternoon’s New York Yankees victory over the Oakland Athletics.
With how many grains of whose salt do we take this?

My point? It will not take too much to steal Obama’s thunder; perhaps McCain can nominate Shaggy the dog? After all, that’s what this election is all about, crossing boundaries and all that. Damn, the old fashioned, best candidate for the job stuff. That yardstick went out with incandescent bulbs and fossil fuels.
Lets go with the rock star, light weight, unexperienced, shifting sands, I don’t know what the hell I am doing guy; yeah, that will work. Damn society and those dirty politicians! Oops! Obama is more liberal than the declared Socialist, Bernie Sanders? Lets just sweep that under the rug, oh and a little more makeup her please!
“Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object—the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson
Either way, Marsha Blackburn for VP ... [n/t]

Romney as a Liberal
ljeff18 Tuesday, July 22nd at 4:56PM EST (link)If anyone hasn’t seen this yet, check out this article which links to a 94 debate between Romney and Kennedy. I guess we could cut Romney some slack because there is no way he would ever win in MA but really, it’s embarrassing for him.
