I like Gene Robinson

Because when he sees reasonable ideas lying around, he picks them up and arranges them in a sensible manner. Consider his look at how, the Republicans will try to market the Old Fart.
Republicans certainly can't sell McCain to the American public as a sure-handed pilot to steer the economy through dangerous straits. Maybe voters will be generous enough to let him withdraw his confession that he doesn't really understand economics that well. But I don't see how most Americans will believe that McCain's basic economic philosophy -- keep cutting taxes for the well-to-do and restrain discretionary government spending -- will make their lives any better.

McCain can hardly be painted as a foreign policy sage. His biggest handicap in this regard, of course, is the war in Iraq -- an albatross that McCain actually volunteered to wear.
I think that he does, in fact show the way that Republicans will try to sell the unsellable.
mage consultants could try to portray McCain as a latter-day Dwight Eisenhower. I've actually heard Republicans try to make the comparison, but it won't work without rounding up and destroying all the history books.
But the Republicans will not even try to change the history books, they will just lie and lie as long and as loud as they need to make people forget what history has taught us. Pure Goebbels 24/7 until we put the Old Fart in the White House or destroy the Republican Party.

The choice is yours.
