McCain to Hillary Lovers: Come on Down!

Wow, McCain is even heaping a little praise on her:

McCain followed suit, complimenting her on Tuesday night even as he ripped into his new Democratic opponent.

"She deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes received," McCain said of Clinton.

"As the father of three daughters, I owe her a debt for inspiring millions of women to believe there is no opportunity in this great country beyond their reach."

The strategy could pay off. Some women supporters have said they will back McCain over Obama -- despite the former first lady's entreaties on the campaign trail not to do so.

Too bad he didn't say "she deserves a lot more appreciation then the media actually gave her." He should push the narrative that the media turned on Hillary because they are sexist and gave Obama the kid-gloves treatment because they wanted to see the first black candidate. That should appeal to the women that feel like victims of the system since they went full-tilt after the female candidate while they gave the black male candidate a pass.

I mean the Dems pulled every stunt including counting the residents of two very large states as half-persons just to push her out of the way. They also went after her for crying and not dropping out on their timetable.

McCain needs a fairly young female running mate so badly he should scour the country for one. Too bad Condi Rice doesn't want in.

He should think about the following Republican women governors or Senators: Jo Ann Emerson who is 57 and from the swing state of Missouri (too bad she voted to pull troops out of Iraq but she is pro stem cell,) Sarah Palin Governor of Alaska who is only 42 (too bad her children all have goofy Hollywood-sounding names; Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig,) or our governor Linda Lingle who is 55 and could outright win the Jewish vote. In any case I would much rather see almost any female or minority VP like Bobby Jindal then some forgettable white dude from a swing state or some freak like Romney.

After watching both McCain’s and Obama’s speeches on TV Tuesday night, McCain no less than NEEDS to run Alaska Gov Sarah Palin as his VP mate.
