Topic: Election 2008
McCain‘s Ready to Take Action on Change

Everyone thought it was the end of John McCain�s career as the white horse he rode to Capitol Hill to save the day wnet unnoticed, and getting fired on from all sides about his choice of Sarah Palin for VP. Not so.

While John McCain admits, when he was looking for a VP, he was looking for someone who would appeal to both the Budweiser drinking average Joe and to soccer moms of the world, his picking Sara (Bush Light) Palin for his running mate may have been a mistake, it's not that big of a deal. You see, it's only a tactical error, not a strategy error. He can still legally change his running mate. The trick is not to lose votes while doing so. Who to pick is the is the question.

     The first name to come to mind was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's popular, he is rich. He has run a state, know something about the economy and his views are not much different than his.

     The second name on the short list would have to be someone familiar with Wall Street. Danny Devito's name came up. Why not? He's smart. He can glib remarks and pointed barbs as well as Sarah. He is as good with quips and sharp barbs as Sarah Palin. When he was shooting for "Taxi," he drove right down Wall street many times and actually saw the NY Stock Exchange.

     During an interview Gov. Schwarzenegger was asked why he would be a better man than Devito for the job. Well, look at it this way, Arnold quipped "If the president became incapacitated, heaven forbid, It is the presidents job to step in as Commander and Chief of our armed forces. No disrespect for Mr. Devito, but in most states he is not even tall enough to qualify for a State Trooper job. How is he going to demand respect as Commander and chief?"

      During his interview Danny was asked the same question. "Meaning no disrespect for Arnie," Danny answered,"but The Governor is not a natural born citizen of the USA. Ok! Sorry Danny, you're out. But what to do with the Governor? "Damn!!!! " John McCain was heard to whisper. This is not just dilemma, it's a double dilemma. You must realize, John McCain was born in Panama, so, technically he is not a natural born citizen of the USA. Is this OK for someone running for U.S. president? Maybe. Probably. But he is a war hero but we can't have two people running on the same ticket with questionable qualifications. 

        Insiders have it, that in the interest of these great people of the United States and Citizens of the world, the only way through these troubled times is an absolute bipartisan solution to our problems. With this in mind all that he has to do is convince Barack Obama to join with him in a change to non-bipartisan politics. His new running mate will be Joe Biden and Obama's running mate will be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

     If only he could just figure out how to get that dam Blackberry to call out so he get a hold of Barack.

Dear Andy,

What?  You didn't have anything better to do so you thought you'd try to write something funny? 

You wrote something funny when you signed your name.  Your article is about as lame as the movie "Twins" in which BOTH of your revered super VP's starred.  Palin could star in her own movie, too ~ how about "Lost In Space, the Remake".
