Matt Dowd: McCain Needs To Flip Flop Some More

During the panel discussion on This Week after saying how awful he thinks Obama's campaign financing flip flop will be for him, Matt Dowd goes on to say that at this late stage in the game McCain now needs to "distance himself from Bush on every issue". When asked if that is impossible now Dowd responds that he's better off flip flopping again and that he should go on a speaking tour that says "I'm not the President"....lol. Yeah I'm sure that will go over really well Dowd....geez. Obama's "brand" is ruined according to him over this campaign finance crap that they're all crying about like a bunch of spoiled kids on every single show this morning, but after running straight to Bush for months on end now McCain could get away with another few hundred flip flops and that would just be okie dokie with Dowd.

MC is in a very tough spot. He can't please both the conservative base and swing voters in sufficient numbers to win the election. He has to pick a lane.

IMO he should play to the center and focus on his "maverick" image. He MUST pick a female VP (Kay Baily Huthison or Condi) and hope he can attract disaffected Hillary supporters and capture enough swing voters.

Then, he must pray the conservative base turns out in huge numbers.

Bottom line is he's going to lose the election.

Matthew Dowd is the only Republican operative whom I respect - not for his morals, but for his intelligence.
