We all know how George Bush “won” the presidency in 2000. His press secretary, however, doesn’t seem to. Dana Perino says McCain can win just like W did. Rut-roh.
“The president is convinced that John McCain has still time to close up this race,” Perino told reporters on Air Force One. “He remembers when he was running in 2000 and how far he was down before the election, and he came back to win.”
No Dana. He came back to be awarded the presidency by the Supreme Court, despite that fact that he lost the popular vote. The numbers were 48.38 percent for Gore, 47.87 percent for Bush, and 2.74 percent for Nader.
If McCain thinks he can “win” like Bush did and then lead the country with Palin at his side and not preside over the next civil war, he needs to up his meds.
Hmmmm-maybe Dastardly Dana is on to something-maybe she thinks that a challenge to Obama’s victories will result in front of a decidedly pro-Repugnancy court and thus John the war hero will finally get his day as Prez. Perhaps she didn’t misspeak but instead gave us another insight as to another twisted strategy they are not too proud to ignore.
Just a thought..
