Romney: McCain Democrats’ favorite Republican

by  • 

Today, on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace interviewed Senator John McCain. Here is an excerpt from that interview (text of excerpt after the jump):

Yet Democrat politicians in Washington seem to like John McCain, as the following Mitt Romney campaign ad points out, and also their chances of defeating him in November:

Chris Wallace followed that interview with one of Senator Hillary Clinton who seemed to hope her sole opponent would soon be John McCain. Here is an excerpt (text of excerpt after the jump):

If John McCain and Hillary Clinton are the nominees, expect her to campaign saying he has so often agreed with Senate Democrats (i.e. immigration reform and drilling in ANWAR) and worked against President George W. Bush on issues (detainee rights and Guantanamo). Clinton will paint McCain as a liberal, point out that he has flip-flopped on immigration reform, and, by his own admission, the economy is not his strong suit.

She will likely ask why vote for McCain when she has been consistent on the issues and will bring a proven economic team back to the Oval Office? Much of that will stick because it is true.

On the other hand, you could vote for Mitt Romney in your primary and have a much clearer choice come November.

Senator Clinton “doesn’t know the first thing about” Pakistan

by  • 

Power Line’s Scott Johnson has the story:

Sunday morning, ABC’s This Week ran an interview George Stephanopoulos had done with Sen. Clinton on Friday.

The interview produced this gem:

Referring to a possible delay in the elections, Sen. Clinton said: “I think it will be very difficult to have a real election. You know, Nawaz Sharif [leader of the PML-N, an opposition party] has said he’s not going to compete. The PPP is in disarray with Benazir’s assassination. He [President Pervez Musharraf] could be the only person on the ballot. I don’t think that’s a real election.”

And then it hit me:

Sen. Clinton really didn’t know that the upcoming elections were for individual seats in Pakistan’s parliament. She actually believed that Bhutto, Nawaz and Musharraf would be facing off as individual candidates for leadership of the country in the upcoming elections.

Sen. Clinton didn’t know that Nawaz Sharif isn’t allowed to run for office in Pakistan because of a felony conviction. She didn’t know that President Musharraf won’t be on the ballot because he’s already been elected.

Sen. Clinton, a candidate for the leadership of the free world, apparently doesn’t know the first thing about the country referred to by some as “the most dangerous place on earth.” … Read the rest here.

By the way, about the only thing Senator Clinton knew of Benazir Bhutto was what to wear when she met her.
