Bench McCain, Put in a Second Stringer Posted by Scott Ott on Thursday, July 31, 2008 9:58:15 AM Every sports fan knows there comes a time when the game plan has collapsed, and the star has stumbled. Wisdom and experience dictate that you yank the starter, put in a promising second stringer and go to Plan B.
For the Republican party, that time has come. It's time to bench Sen. John McCain, and replace him with someone who can inspire the base of the Republican party as he, or she, stands boldly for its basic principles.
Don't tell me that McCain trails by only seven points in the polls. Don't tell me that Sen. Obama got no bounce from his recent international junket, and that the rookie is bound to make a momentum-killing mistake. Don't plead that we're too close to November, and any alternate candidate wouldn't have time to build a grassroots campaign. And don't make me laugh by suggestion a great VP pick will cure what ails him. These are the excuses of unprincipled losers.

MCLaim is THE SECOND STRINGER..
Who then?
Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee? No thank you.
The rest of the field, including Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson, have endoresed McCain.
AMerica is NOT voting for McCain, they're voting against being told who we want!!!
You really need to read FORGET THE TRAIN WRECK: OBAMA IS A JET CRASH.

I won't! McCain is ahead in the recent Gallup of likely voters. Bye-bye!
After the SUPER BOWL, FReeper!
Mr Ott has been watching too many Walgreens commercials.
Yeah. Right. Here’s another example of the real world compared to the fantasy world. This writer is in the fantasy world.
As I see it you vote for the republican candidate, (ie. vote for him, vote against his opponent, hold your nose, etc etc.) OTherwise don’t waste our time with this rubbish...
Much as I’d like to see someone else at the top of the ticket, it cannot be legally be switched now. Someone would actually have to convince McCain to drop out for a new nominee to be possible. (There are too many delegates bound by law to vote for him on the first ballot.) There is no way his ego would allow this.
Kind of reminds me how the Illinois GOP panicked and pulled out support for Ryan against Obama in 2004. That ended up really ugly.
Eli Manning announces his candidacy for the 2016 election, the first in which he will be old enough to run.
I could go for that.
This guy must have needed to meet a filing deadline.
Seven points is cherry picking. McCain is down 2 in Rasmussen and trending upward. Or rather, Obama is trending downward.
We don’t need a hardcore conservative nominee. This is foolish. Congress will be Democrat. No conservative agenda is going anywhere and may only serve to galvanize veto proof majorities. Only a moderate can dilute a liberal agenda and more or less see nothing happen. More importantly, in this particular year, only a moderate likely can win the independents and other moderates who decide elections.
When the opposition has power, the goal is to have nothing happen at all — not move in your own direction. McCain may be able to be successful achieving nothing. If there are enough Senate votes (that can again be activated) to prevent Comprehensive Immigration Reform, then a McCain presidency may serve to prevent more or less anything from happening — especially on the tax increases already scheduled. It is THEY, more than anything else, that loom as a guaranteed threat.
Bob Dole II
Switching now would guarantee a Lord Obama Presidency.
I believe McCain actually has a fairly decent shot, primarily because of the BradleyWilder effect.
I think that a lot of people are telling pollsters they're voting for Barack because they think not saying they are voting for him will make the pollsters think they're racists.
The more Barack plays the race card, the more pronounced this effect is going to be, and the more voters he is going to drive away.
