Alternative Advice To Winky and Maverick

People are tired of Republicans and want adults running the government--especially now-- not cranky, snarling, short tempered candidates who think the way to deal with all manner of problems is by flirting. I don't think it is a winning strategy. Now I don't expect the person who thinks so little of the electorate that he chose Palin as his running mate to take my advice but for what it is worth, here it is: elevate the discourse. McCain has already chosen his strategy so it isn't going to happen, which is fine because I want Obama to crush McCain like a grocery store grape, but I am also weary of Republican-style politics (practiced by any politician). Now that we have that out of the way, to ensure a thorough drubbing McCain should belch odd noises when he talks about his running mate and should snarl as often as he can when he mentions Obama by name. Above all, never mention the issues and solutions that people care about; rather, play on people's deep seeded fears and prejudices. That ought to make the victory thorough enough.
