Bush will endorse McCain tomorrow
Filed under: John McCain
Like the clingy ex-girlfriend who just won't stop showing up at your office, Bush is going to officially endorse John McCain tomorrow. The least popular president in modern history has already been told once by the McCain campaign to keep his support more or less on the down-low. But I suppose it would kind of look silly if the outgoing Republican president didn't give the party's nominee the expected kiss of death imprimatur.
Even Bush's home-state paper the Dallas Morning News says this is befuddling from a strategy perspective. True, Bush remains popular among conservatives, but the true hard core are never going to turn out for McCain anyway, and getting shackled to the heinously unpopular "war president" is just going the alienate the independents to whom a McCain candidacy is designed to appeal.
Bill Clinton used to use the Doobie Brothers' "Takin' It To the Streets" as his anthem. I have a feeling tomorrow's song for McCain is going to be "Don't Stand So Close To Me."
