As if the GOP knows how.

John McCain ain't a stupid man. He knows what he is doing. Picking Sara Barracuda for his running mate. Yes, she's just the right surrogate for McCain. A feisty barracuda. A veep who will avoid the issues. And instead, launch a negative campaign against Barack Obama and the Democrats, like she did at the Republican convention Wednesday night. She's good at making attacks on personalities. Because the Republicans really have no issues to run on. The economy has gone sour under their administration. We've got almost 50 million Americans without health insurance. A record high national debt. A widening gap between the rich and the poor. And a senseless and obscene and costly war. But McCain and his pet barracuda and the Republicans won't focus on that. They'll tell us that Obama and the Democrats are unfit to run the country. As if the Republicans know how. --Jim Broede
