Sheesh.....

Platforms in the primaries don't mean shit when the person is offered the VP ticket. Ask Bush 1, who in 1980 called Reaganomics (trickle down), "Voodoo-nomics". Bush at times showed Reagan nothing less than contempt but he obviously jumped at the chance to be VP. I think it was a nice move by the GOP at the time, put the bitterest primary rival on the ticket, it showed unity.

Now you take Obama's biggest message "change in how things are done... (even though he shows no true plans).... what better way to one up him and prove while he may talk YOU are acting on things, by ticketing up with a GOP.

You also take away McCain's strongest argument that he can cross aisles to get things done.

I think while I have the name wrong...... again it was solely an example.... this is a very strong scenario.

Of course what do I know, some great Dem pundits here mocked me and told me I had no idea what I was talking about when I said Fla. and Mich. were going to bite them on the ass or cost taxpayers millions and either way have the voters in those states pissed off.
