Okay, Rush.  I get it.  Now that you've got Obama and Clinton sniping at each other and have effectively sown the seeds for Denver '68, McCain is free to go out there and get his message out.  The trouble is, though, that McCain isn't really doing that; he appears to be just sitting on the sidelines and to be watching the other team fight itself when he should get off his behind, grab the ball, and RUN with the dog-gone thing!!  He is "running" for President, is he not?

 

The mask seems to be coming off of Obama's candidacy.  To me, it has always been clear as to why Barack Hussein Obama, the man with the ear-teasing sensitivity, has been empty in regards to his true positions on America's problems:  he couldn't afford to be.  This blowup over J. Wright and his America-hating rhetoric is the perfect highlight.  I don't believe that Obama has the best interests of all Americans at heart.  It has already been made clear that even if Obama gets the White House, it still won't be enough to enable us to put racial differences aside.  I for one just want to go on with life.  I don't CARE what color, sex, religion, orientation, or age a candidate happens to be.  What I want in a candidate is the maximum amount of agreement in relation to policy positions as to where this nation should go.  I don't like either one of the Democrats' positions on anything.  McCain's opinions have not much more appeal to me.  This year, a lot of us will be holding our noses and voting for the candidate who smells the least.  I dislike the notion of giving the bird to all the legal immigrants by granting amnesty to those who did it illegally.  McCain-Feingold is un-Constitutional.  The Keating Five will haunt him for all of his presidency, if he is elected.  At least with McCain, we know where he is.  At present, we have just seen a glimpse of where Obama likely stands.

 

Speaking of the possibility of being elected, shouldn't McCain be getting around to selecting a running-mate?  Being from Missouri, I am pulling for our governor, Matt Blunt.  He is a man who has decided he has done pretty much everything he wanted to do as the governor.  Would he want the job of Vice-President?  The biggest snag, though, is that the drive-by media would seize on the age gap.  It may be best to go with someone like Romney or even Fred Thompson.  Like Reagan, Thompson is an actor.  Hardly anyone mentions this, but one of Reagan's greatest strengths as our President was that he knew how to act presidential.  Thompson would be able to apply that strength to just as great an effect.

 

Even better, a Condoleeza Rice, Ph.D and J.C. Watts ticket would force the Left to really put its money where its mouth is.  I'd vote that ticket in a heartbeat, assuming that ticket and I have the most agreement on policy positions.
