So What Could Go Wrong?

And here I was after the whole Hillary acceptance thing thinking, "OK, at least there's not anybody McSame could pick that could help him against Obama/Hillary."

And then reality comes in and takes my donut.

People close to the campaign also floated a wild-card choice, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq. They said it was not beyond the realm of possibility that Mr. McCain would ask him to join the ticket, although General Petraeus has no experience in elective government and has said repeatedly that he is not interested in the vice presidency. … The adviser said the campaign was putting forth his name in part in a bid for attention.

Petraeus has publicly said he'd never run for office. Of course, there is no "never" in politics. If you thought criticizing McSame was something the Village wouldn't put up with, VP Petraeus would literally make the ticket bulletproof, all the while McSame's surrogates would attack Obama for not being the General That Won Iraq.

By God, Goddess, Sikkar the Lightbringer and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, McSame/Petraeus would win in a frickin' landslide.
