So, former Pa. Sen. Rick Santorum believes John McCain can’t win in November unless Barack Obama proves himself unqualified, according to The American Spectator.
The link is worth a click, to see if you agree with Santorum’s suggestions of vice presidential picks for McCain.
But, gosh, one does wonder if Santorum’s pessimism isn’t driven a little by ego.
Santorum lost, to what he probably rightly believes was an inferior opponent (the almost inarguably less intelligent, less influential Bob Casey), and he probably blames a Democratic tide for that.
And, the human ego being what it is, he doesn’t see McCain overcoming a tide that he couldn’t resist.
I’m not so sure.
I think McCain stands a chance, even here in Pennsylvania.
There’s no doubt that Santorum lost in part because it was a Democratic year, but he also goofed in trying to bill his Pa. school district for cyber school while living in Virginia.
I say McCain’s more electable here this year than Santorum was two years ago.
