I think Obama should tap John McCain as his running mate in 2008 so we can quickly (perhaps even without an election) move a united country forward. What would be so wrong with that? Based upon John McCains performance last night on The Daily Show he seems either resigned to losing the race or unconcerned by his amount of joking around so either way - what would be the harm?
Clearly the parties would be in turmoil, that much would be certain because it would put the entire ‘us versus them’ competition in question but i’m not clear what the other implications would be.
Knowing McCain would probably lose wouldn’t he be in a better position to accept the role of VP than no role at all?
Would Democrats be so upset? On one hand they lost a foreign policy hawk in Hillary and they win one back with McCain which doubles to appease centrist republicans.
Ok, maybe its crazy but I thought it was worth considering if for no other reason than to be efficient.
