Tonight, What Heights We Hit


By Baxter

The McCain campaign has a real dilemma on its hands tomorrow — and it's not whether they should postpone the Republican Convention because of Tropical Storm Gustav. (Although, good gracious, that is a problem.)

No, it's whether they should spend the day trashing the wildly successful Democratic Convention — and Senator Obama's magnificent, historic speech — or focus instead on their potential feel-good story, their Vice Presidential pick.

Gee, go positive or negative? We hope that — despite their anemic "instant response" to Senator Obama tonight — they'll be forced to go positive, with their Veep.

Which couldn't be such a bad thing. After all — and we never thought we'd say this — we agree with Chris Matthews, who just said, "I think people really do hate the politics of Karl Rove."

Going positive: Now, that would really be putting Country First.
