Switching candidates late in a race can throw the rival off-balance. Many are trying to figure out how McCain can beat OB. I was looking forward to this political massacre. But let's face it— there's a good chance we'll be facing someone else. Most likely, it will be Hillary.
The Clintons have experience with switching candidates. Does anyone remember Torricelli / Loutenburg? Doug Forrester was cleaning Torricelli's clock. Frankly, I've heard of worse scandals than having illegal gifts, but Forrester was running a brilliant campaign. Guess who flew over to trip him up? Bill Clinton. He convinced Torricelli to drop out. [Yes, I realize that the NJ Soprano Court broke the law with their ruling, but that's an aside just now.]
Bill Clinton convinced Torricelli to step aside, and then Forrester found himself facing the Lout. He did not have enough time to shift his campaign. Forrester lost. I hope we are not caught flatfooted in this important election. The Clintons are almost as radical as Obama and ten times more corrupt. They have experience; they know how DC works. They know how the media works. And if there are no 527s that rise up quickly enough and expose the Clintons AND the Rodham Brothers, I believe McCain will lose.
McCain will call for a ‘clean’ and neutered campaign. It will be tempting since the Black vote will be dispirited. RINOs will say that 'Monica' proves that the Clintons are teflon. They aren't. You can't pardon terrorists, pardon crack manufacturers, and have 'pardon fees' sent to relatives/inlaws without paying a political price, unless you are running against wimps.
Interesting post, I still say it’s gonna depend on who picks this up and who doesn’t. As you say a lot of people don’t realize just how powerful the CCF(Clinton Crime Family) really is.
