Lots of people think there was some illegal tinkering with the elections in 2000 and 2004 and that the person who got the most votes, or would have, if some people were not kept from voting, was not sworn into office.
That is my biggest fear, that the GOP, knowing that they are in the tank for eight years of horror, figure out a way to fix the voting machines and keep people from voting, and so forth, all over again. Or maybe not just the GOP, maybe some cabal of ruthless neocons who will do what they can to preserve the Imperial Presidency in the hands of their pals. Even better for them if McCain is losing it; it makes him easier to control.
Your fear is well founded and the more they push for a voting system with no paper trail, the more likely it is. In fact, there were huge discrepancies in our exit polls and the actual numbers in the last election. And there is a lot of scary information out there about Diebold electronic voting machines and those involved in that company and in giving it gov’t contracts.
Maurine, Letterman’s “Top Ten Reasons McCain Smells Old” probably took him out of the running. That and Cindy won’t let Letterman’s “Will it Float Girls” on the campaign bus, and everyone knows he doesn’t leave home without The Girls.

Definitely Lieberman. Then he can go down in history as the only man to have been deafeated for Vice President on both parties’ tickets.
In honor of Je Speak Franglais Day I say Florence Foresti impersonating Segolene Royal to give McCain some badly needed je ne sais quoi. Put some teaser in the geezer!

My second choice would be Richard Gere as in his advisory role below…but then Rove has that down pat…albeit without the good looks:

How about Dog the Bounty Hunter - they’d make a terrific team. I bet the Dog’s wife would kick McCain into next Sunday if she heard him call his wife “that name” again.
