Six Shocking Ways John McCain Can Lose My Vote!

Jump to Comments

Here’s my opinion.  America is going to be better off no matter who wins this presidential election.  I truly believe John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would all be better at the whole “president-ing” thing than the current president.

I’m also one of those true independents, at least in this election.  I am more likely to vote Democratic to be 100% honest.  But, there is a realistic chance for John McCain to capture my vote.

Off the top of my head, here’s a few ways he can lose it:

#6 – Make a bad VP choice.  If there’s a Huckabee on the ticket.  I’m outta there.

#5 – Surround himself with people tight with President George W. Bush.  My feeling is Bush and his crew have had their shot.  They’ve left us with the mess in Iraq.  If McCain has to go with Bush loyalists and wants my vote, he’d better go for the pragmatists that hung out with George W’s daddy.

#4 – Keep confusing Shiites and Sunnis.  When one of your key strengths is supposed to be foreign relations, it’s not good to keep making that error.  Once was enough, but it was plain embarrassing when it happened again in Congress this week.

#3 – Keep racking up endorsements from crackpot religious leaders like the infamous Reverend Hagee, who delights in calling the Catholic Church “a whore” among other things.  (PS – Barack Obama please read this paragraph closely)

#2 – Campaign using the usual Republican/Conservative playbook.  Demonizing and swiftboating isn’t gonna get this vote.

#1 – Keep lying about watching shows like “The Hills”.  It was unbelievable to begin with and so typical of a politician.  Not a good moment for the senator.

I’m sure there’s lots more, but for Senator McCain’s sake, here’s hoping he doesn’t find them.
