26. Forestall the launch of a national campaign.
McCain's national campaign. Not Mitt's. UNLESS someone invites him along for a ride.

It's a NO-LOSE scenario for Mitt.

One of two things can happen, here, in Mitt's view:

Scenario ONE: Mitt goes home, cries in his milk, and uses his speech as a campaign ad in 2012. He can claim that

    --McCain fucked up
    --Clinton fucked up
    --Obama fucked up


depending on who wins this year. It'll work for ANY of 'em. (I trusted McCain, he let us DOWN; Obama is the devil; Clinton is Satan, name your poison).

Scenario TWO: McCain picks Mitt as his RUNNING MATE. That makes the conservatives happy, but pisses off the evangelicals--unless they can find a way to bring Huckie into the administration, and promise him a REALLY good job, EARLY on, if he actively campaigns for the ticket.

But Mitt is not going to give away "HIS theme" for nuthin'. If he's not ON the ticket, that boat won't float.


Bush's theme isn't 'terra' so much as it's :rofl: PEACE and PROSPERITY!!! :rofl: How fucking....HOOVERESQUE!!!

I think the homeless Iraq vets oughta start camping out on the mall in DC!!!
