Bill Clinton on the stump in Florida today for Obama/Biden, looks and sounds curiously like someone who wants the Democrats to win in November. Hmm, but I thought...oh, nevermind. Watch TPM's clip of Bill's speech and you'll see his really smart -- and really well-timed -- argument for why this year, moreso than any other presidential year, the choice of VP truly matters (and no, it's not a knock on Obama.)
You want further proof that this election is not JUST about the top of the ticket, take a look at John McCain's own words in his interview with NPR:
Given what you've said, senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Gov. Palin for advice in a foreign policy crisis?I've turned to her advice many times in the past. I can't imagine turning to Sen. Obama or Sen. Biden, because they've been wrong. They were wrong about Iraq, they were wrong about Russia...
Ummm, and Sarah Palin was right about her neighbor to the west? Really?
Gotcha journalist Steve Inskeep keeps digging:
But would you turn to Gov. Palin?I certainly wouldn't turn to them, and I already have turned to Gov. Palin, particularly on energy issues, and I've appreciated her background and knowledge on that and many other issues.
If that doesn't scare the hell out of you, I don't know what will.
