What if McCain had
picked Joe Lieberman and Obama had picked Hillary Clinton as
their VP running mates?
These two choices seemed the most predictable
less than three months ago. Now, with this impending VP
debate on Thursday, the cat seems to be "out of the bag" and
running down the street, so to speak. Can Joe Biden
really hold his tongue against Palin? Somehow, I doubt
it. Has there ever been such complete political chaos in
the span of one week?
While I don't believe a
McCain Lieberman ticket can beat Obama ________ (anyone,
fill in the blank with whomever you like), it would still have
made this election a lot less of a three ring circus, a
literal spectacle. The only winners here are the major
television news outlets whose ratings must be through the
roof.
For pete's sake, stay tuned.
