This article is a perfect summation of why John McCain won’t and can’t be our next president. People please get out there and vote, vote, vote!
 

If you’re looking for what’s gone wrong with John McCain’s bid for the White House, look no further than Joe the Plumber.

Like his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain’s schoolgirl crush on Joe the Plumber has illustrated how badly the Republican candidate has misjudged the American electorate and mismanaged his campaign. In both cases, he enlisted uneducated rubes to campaign for him, hoping that these backwoods bumpkins could connect with and energize his red state supporters where he couldn’t himself. And in both cases, his plan has backfired in horribly entertaining ways.

 

By tapping a moose-hunting, God-fearing, pro-life hockey mom as his running mate, McCain (a man who prides himself on his “strategy” expertise) made the biggest strategic mistake of the campaign. He turned an election that had been a referendum on Obama’s lack of leadership experience into a referendum on his own decision-making ability. McCain gambled with his VP pick, doubling down on a woman he thought could carry him to the White House by barking moronic drivel about lipstick on pit bulls.

 

But the fact that McCain was willing to place our country in the hands of a woman whom he had met only once isn’t what angers me most. It’s that he put his candidacy ahead of his country. Country first? Hardly. Candidacy first.
