McCain-Snowe 08

When I read that McCain told the Congressional GOP that his VP pick would be "traditional", the conservative peanut gallery proceeded quickly to dismiss non-male WASP VP candidates.  Boy, I'll be happy as a clam if I am right thinking what I think the McCain camp meant by "traditional".  Sen. Snowe has been in Congress longer than John Mcain.  She has been in elected office since 1973 and has NEVER lost an election.   To an audience of congressional GOP, Snowe's long tenure makes her a traditional politician. 

Oh who am I kidding that the GOP will bring its A-game to this election.  The only hope I have is that McCain can surprise people and have spent the last year kow-towing to the base.  He must be tired of them at this point.  Mavericks don't turn because of principle, sometimes they do it because reasons as mundane as exhaustion and boredom are enough.  There's 8 hours left to make or break a dream.  I pray to God that McCain has it in him to make this a race.
