So McCain's Veep Choice has a Uterus (and knows how to use it. Mother of five! Yeoch!) So What?

I will tell you what.

Beyond the novelty factor (somebody tell me about how they remember the Libby Dole Administration? I must have slept through it), it comes down to one major thing, as far as the swing vote potential of the trick.

Beyond the cynicism of trying to scoop up the PUMAS, this is actually a genuine, if also cynical, tactical ploy to (they hope) neuter Sen. Biden in the Veep debates.

Follow my thinking here.

At first, my thought was:

"Biden will tear that puppy up. It's a mismatch like Ali in his prime, against anyone's gamma."

And as the words (such as they were) fell out of my mouth, I figured out the game.

If the GOP Veep pick were a man, Biden could take him to school, then to the woodshed, and then to a whole new world of pain, and it would not likely make any real difference in this campaign.

But against Mommasita?

The last thing we on my side of the aisle want is people whining about how Sen. Biden pimp-slapped that poor pretty thing, that tiny frail creature. (Never mind that a woman who pumped five babies outa her uterus is anything but frail.)

And that is likely what the GOP is hoping for; they are hoping Sen. Biden goes too hard on her and that is something they can make use of.

In other words, it is a trap. It is a roadside bomb. It is an IED. Watch out!

Sorta explains why they did not go with some GOP woman with more chops.

What do you expect from the dirty dealers who played the race card, card as soon as they could have?

Oh. And MARK ME! mark me well. No matter how lightly Sen. Biden goes on her in the debate, even if he argues right past her and makes his points and barbs against The Old Man, the GOP spin doctors will accuse him of being totally beastly to her.

You heard that one here first, kids.
