My advice to McCain is this: Let the 2008 campaign be remembered as the one in which the GOP abandoned its Southern, red state strategy
In other words, don’t do what it takes to win..
You can be guaranteed that McCain has no plans to “do what it takes” to win -
he might as well just hand the election to Obama as soon as (if) he gets the nomination,
otherwise, running against the black man is just being racist.
