Fleeing Thoughts: Super Tuesday

-John McCain is obviously a slightly devious man. He is going to great lengths to sort of misrepresent the remarks Mitt Romney made about having a timetable for pulling out of Iraq. That McCain is overstating things is obvious. And yet...Romney is faltering in the polls and looks to falter even more in the primaries tomorrow. Meanwhile, McCain picks up endorsements from people, as well as semi-humans like Arnold Schwarzenegger, all over this great land of ours. Is Romney really that unlikeable? Apparently. Romney just looks like someone you don't trust, like he's trying to sell you a used car that has an engine rebuilt by squirrels.
-The Republicans may have a decisive winner in John McCain after all is said and done tomorrow. A different story for the Democrats, however, although Barack Obama is gaining momentum. The Democrats may have to wait until their convention to figure out who their candidate will be.
-Come convention time, what if Obama is the nominee? Will Hilary join him as a running mate? Doubtful. They simply don't like each other. What if the roles are reversed, and Bilary, I mean Hilary, is the nominee? Who the heck would want to be her vice-president, knowing full well that Bill will be serving as co-president? Hilary has already said that when Bill was prez, she sat in and advised on all major policy issues. (Apparently, that's where Al Gore got all that time to research global warming.) This would be no different if Hilary were to be in charge. Bill would be advising and consulting and interfering on every little thing. No one wants to be a vice-president in that disfunctional home. And let's be honest---this is really Bill running for an "illegal third term," as Monica Crowley put it on "The McLaughlin Group" the other night. (Crowley is a surprisingly attractive blonde, something one doesn't expect to see on "TMG." Of course, who wouldn't look good sitting next to Pat Buchanan?)
-What will it take to get New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg (didn't he play guitar when Dylan went electric? No, wait, that was Mike Bloomfield...) to run for president? If McCain is the Republican candidate, I doubt Bloomberg will run. McCain is a bit of a maverick, and Bloomberg will only run if there's a more traditional, old-fashioned Republican, like Romney, in the race against Clinton. I get the impression Bloomberg would be happy with an Obama candidacy, as Bloomberg wants to change the status quo and Obama represents a sea-change in the type of person we elect president. You know, he's not white, named Clinton or Bush, and he's not a Yale graduate.
-What happened to Alan Keyes, who was running for president on the Republican side? He dropped out as quietly as he entered. If one enters a race and no one notices, are you really in it? And what is the sound of one hand clapping? Sorry...
-Romney said the other day that Obama has never even run so much as a corner store, and so is too inexperienced to run the country. Just what kind of experience qualifies one to be Leader of the Free World? Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II. That was pretty good training for the presidency, I would think. The opportunity to be Supreme Commander of that large a force doesn't come about very often though, so I'm willing to take my chances with someone who is merely an intelligent, thoughtful politician/human being.
