"Behind every successful presidential candidate there is a...usually, a blah, generic, male vice presidential candidate. McCain, being a blah, generic, male politician already, can afford to take the kind of crazy risk he used to be known for (campaign finance reform, his stance against torture, among others). In fact, to the chagrin of many in his own party, McCain reaches out to Democrats often. What if he reaches out to a certain Senator in a pantsuit? Hillary Clinton and McCain get along famously (his witless sexist humor aside). Hillary praised McCain in the primaries, saying he was the only other candidate as qualified as she to deal with foreign policy challenges. Sure, there are some policy differences, but nothing that can&amp;#x27;t be worked out when an ltimate political victory is in sight. And there&amp;#x27;s no law I know of against a split-ticket administration. As a disgruntled former Clinton supporter, this excites me, but then I am already a registered Republican. However, there are Democratic Clinton supporters who are actively threatening to vote for McCain in retribution for the treatment of their beloved Hillary. They are calling themselves PUMA, as in &amp;quot;Party Unity My Derriere,&amp;quot; except that they use a different word than I do to describe one&amp;#x27;s rear. McCain, with his younger wife, may be a male cougar, but he is angling for PUMA voters. This summer, he&amp;#x27;s been holding town hall meetings geared towards women, during which he takes special time to woo Hillary voters by lavishing praise on her run. Bill would be thrilled (and cooperative, for once) because Hillary would be the incumbent candidate in four short years when McCain finally retires. The former president&amp;#x27;s exhaustive campaigning could bring in many Latino voters. Chelsea and Megan, and their perfect coifs, could do a mega-college tour together! That ticket would win the popular and the electoral votes. And Hillary can finally set McCain straight on those beauty pageant and rape jokes. Are you thinking what I&amp;#x27;m thinking? Is McCain-Clinton 2008 a match made in Heaven or what? I want to hear you PUMAS, Cougars, and RINOs roar! &amp;amp;#8212;Asma"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
