Reply #18: Newsweek is a GE publication. Be wary. They are backing McCain. He wants to run vs. Obama. [View All]

[McCamy Taylor]

He has already expressed as much. McCain does not have much going for him except that he is old so he will play up his experience and his military and foreign policy experience. You can count upon the Bush administration to create a military crisis this summer or fall that will make McCain's military experience seem essential.

How is Obama planning to address the strategy? Is he lining up a seasoned military VP?

The Pentagon is actively campaigning for McCain (against their own rules). Obama needs to expect the military establishment to slime him (they would do the same to Hillary). It will not be pretty. He needs a military VP that the Pentagon will have trouble disavowing desperately.
