Watching Obama and McCain deliver their speeches at the Alfred E Smith dinner, I've convinced myself that Obama should pull a Lincoln and appoint McCain to his Cabinet. McCain really is an articulate, well-spoken, clear-thinking guy when he's not being directed by the Republican attack-dog electioneering team. If he got elected I'm convinced the same thing would happen to him that happened to the younger Bush. But if he can break free by losing the election, I betcha he'd make a fine advisor to the Obama administration.

Just a thought.
