August 28: THREE RIGHT, TWO TO GO

This morning John McCain announced his choice for Vice President, and as predicted, it was neither Condoleezza Rice nor Joe Lieberman.

These were my most misunderstood predictions… except by ethnic (read Blacks and Jews) Jokers. They got what I got — that enough of his core base would not be pleased if either ethnicity were next-in-line for President that nominating Joe or Condie would further alienate his right wing.

So, despite all the press speculation about those ‘Dream Teams,’ I figured it just wasn’t gonna happen.

But while I got that right, my unmade prediction was wrong. I would have bet that McCain’s running mate would be one Mitt Romney, accompanied by much patriotic fervor and a major infusion of cash. What I may have missed was that had Mitt become VP, President McCain might feel the need to hire a personal food taster.
