I know. That just blows me away. McCain has got to be the craftiest politician in my lifetime (last 51 years).

McCain-Palin is an echo of the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket.McCain is treating GWB almost as an opposition president.
- Eisenhower wasn't a Republican in 1951; he was an apolitical career military officer. Just as McCain is a "RINO."
- Eisenhower's long suit was military/foreign policy. Like McCain (only more so).
- Nixon was markedly middle class, just as Palin is.
- Nixon was effective at attacking the opposing presidential ticket, as Palin is, and could take the heat and fight back.
In fact, Stevenson was an intellectual. Obama has "constitutional law teacher" on his resume - but also "community organizer," which is very (very) different.
Bottom line, an even fight between POTUS candidate Obama and VP candidate Palin is advantageous to McCain-Palin.
