What McCain should do

TB — 9/25/2008 12:08:18 AM (archived)

Here.

I'd do two things were I McCain.

1) Say you can understand Obama's point of view as he has never been engaged in anything this serious on Capitol Hill, or anywhere else.

and 2) Volunteer to let his VP nominee sit in for him against Obama on Friday.

More from Ed Morrissey

I'm not surprised Obama is annoyed. He's cramming heavily, and like a college student preparing for exams, if the exam doesn't happen quickly, a lot of it's going to leak out.

I've been watching the campaign, and while McCain is no titan of political and economic theory, Obama is nowhere close to as smart as his supporters believe he is.
