McCain Helps Romney In S.C.
I’m looking at the CNN Homepage and as I read the headlines for the Election Center, I am wondering when Mitt Romney will push John McCain into a wheelchair and set him up in front of a blank wall for the day.
"Are you my nephew?"
Ticker: McCain Blasts Santorum
Oops! McCain Calls Romney ‘Obama’
DNC Highlights Old Romney-McCain Tension
I do realize that it’s customary to trot out the old birds; the icons of the party, if you will; at a time like this, but I’m wondering how long it will take before Romney’s campaign notices that John McCain is doing more harm than good. The Dems could wheel out Ted Kennedy’s corpse on a hand truck and get a better bump.
The polling results of John McCain making headlines denouncing Santorum’s record on earmarks and having it loudly echo the exact same denunciation McCain laid out in 2002 towards Romney himself could have been accomplished by holding up a poster of Santorum & Romney wearing matching sweater vests.
But the moment that should have sent Romney’s campaign running for the McCain sized butterfly net was when he accidentally called Romney ‘Obama’ at a South Carolina rally yesterday. “I am confident that with the leadership and backing of the American people, President Obama can turn this country around…..er… President Romney.” Which was followed by some guttural sounds that only those over 75 could translate into something equivalent to “Are you my nephew?”
I have an idea. Let’s see a Ron Paul/John McCain ticket. “You can Depend on us.”
