My fantasy election pick: Obama and McCain, or McCain/Obama on one ticket. Maybe Obama/McCain - after all, McCain's aging and probably not quite so smart as he is (made out to be) a straight shooter. On second thought, on those grounds, McCain/Obama seems a more likely win. Could you imagine? The Practical (or Purple if you prefer, as a reader of the recent Slate editorial) Party would at last have the legs it needs to get off the ground. The streets would run Red (and Blue)!
Too bad 34% of Americans has never heard of Obama, according to some poll or other. But then again, some two-thirds have. And who hasn't heard of McCain? One look at the other big name contenders and they're already building extra room for baggage on Air Force One. Clinton? Rice (who won't put her hat in the ring anyway)? Gingrich? Kerry? Please. Isn't it time for something refreshing? Something that doesn't reek of the pressures of special interest groups and cherished, but failed ideologies?
I'm ready. Are you?
