Or his Bears' pregame "announcement"...

Not familiar with political humor, heh?

If he joins up with McCain, they could both ignore whoever the opponents
wind up being.

If he goes with McCain, all this talk about his intellect will have been for
naught.

If it does wind up being he and Hillary in a contest for
Dem nominee,

Well which will be Pres and which will be VP?

he won't need to "go negative" - the GOP and everyone else
to the right of, oh, say, Michael Moore will do it for him.

Well that is to be expected, I mean we are talking Dems. and Repubs., right?

And
speaking of idiots,

This is not about you Rah.

Hillary and the Clintonistas seem to be right on
schedule to **** up Hillary's chances by continuing to do what they do -
attempting to rat**** _anyone_, including the voters, that they see as
"in the way."

You reckon they shoot anyone in the face?

If he's the Dem nominee, his objective negatives (no real experience, no
real record at any level - no "yardstick"),

Pretty much like the last two Ps'OTUS, right. I mean former governors
aren't really qualified to hold the highest office in the land, right. But
of course, politics ain't about qualifications.

combined with subjective
negatives (he's a Dem, he's too black, he's not black enough, he's not
"liberal"/"conservative" enough, he's too "liberal"/ "conservative,"
he's too young, etc.), will likely combine to get him defeated THIS TIME
if the GOP puts up anyone short of maybe Pat Robertson.

Maybe he could get Colin Powell to run with him, he's got it all ya know.

Of course the Republicans are likely to run someone just to the right of
Satan, so they will have the best shot at getting their base vote anyway.

If it's McCain,
Obama's done. They are both, as pols go, good men, but McCain has the
name and the record, and if he goes (really) negative on McCain, he's
_really_ done. IMO, though, if they are steering their own ships,
neither would go unduly (and subjectively) negative on the other.

Yeah, wouldn't want to Swiftboat McCain the way Bush did. And of course
McCains age certainly won't figure in. Remeber, he no Ronny Reagan.

If he's smart, whether he joins McCain or not, he will take a page from
his playbook: don't go (subjectively) negative _against anyone_ and be
thought of as one of the "good guys" by the entire center.

That a great and positive Republican strategy, right.

And anyone wanna bet that Hillary (or her campaign) will bring up his
skin color at least once?

No, because neither will run this time out. Wanna bet on that?
