Arianna Huffington has a new column out outlining what she believes the McCain campaign might try in a last-ditch effort to pull the election back on a footing more to its liking. She maintains that the most likely scenario for this is having McCain trumpeting some new foreign crisis as the next armageddon, regardless of its actual threat level to the US and to the world.
The arena of foreign policy is the last area -- indeed the only area -- in which the common American -- and perhaps more importantly, members of the mainstream media -- believe McCain to be the safer choice than Obama for the presidency. However, Huffington makes it clear that McCain's supposed proficiency in this arena is really a house of cards. Moreover, she outlines just how Obama and his running mate can preemptively undercut such a ploy on the part of McCain should it come about.
It's worth a read.
