McCain Unlikely To Use Cheney In Campaign

It seems the biggest news about John McCain is no news at all. CBS made the “startling” revelation that McCain is unlikely to use Dick Cheney in his campaign or his fundraising. Since McCain is trying desperately to distance himself from the Bush Administration, and since everyone knows he has endorsed almost all of Bush’s policies, it’s a no brainer. Besides, only at a Star Wars convention would someone with the reputation for being the administration’s “Darth Vader” be a positive addition to a campaign.

Meanwhile McCain continues to criticize Barack Obama for encouraging a higher Social Security tax cap on folks making $200,000 per year, a plan McCain endorsed back in 1995. Guess his memory must be fading.
