Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund opines:
In some ways Mr. McCain resembles Nicolas Sarkozy, the French conservative who won last year’s presidential election even though the retiring president, Jacques Chirac, was unpopular and a member of his own party. “Like Sarko, who was of Chirac’s party but not of Chirac, America’s swing voters have intuited over the years that there is little love lost between McCain and George Bush,” says the blog Race42008.
Mr. Sarkozy was able to convince a majority of French voters that he represented real change that would improve conditions, while his socialist rival, Segolene Royal, represented risky change that could make matters worse. That is precisely the challenge Mr. McCain faces this year against Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Oh great. So, French conservative beats lady liberal, immediately proceeds as first Act of State to divorce old wife and all but reach up the skirt of hot new babe. Is this what we have to look forward to under a McCain presidency? Senator McCain hopping on the Straight Talk Express away from his second wife and moving in for engagement ring number three?
Something to say?
