Had John McCain simultaneously chosen Condoleezza Rice as his Vice
Presidential running mate (instead of Sarah Palin) and Mitt Romney
as his Chief Economic Advisor coming out of the Convention, the
Republicans could have actually won the 2008 Presidential Election;
even in the aftermath of the Wall Street Economic Meltdown (based
on an objective analysis of Presidential Exit Poll Data). This
assertion is primarily based on three highly plausible suppositions
that would have emerged, demographically, had Rice been chosen as
the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, that could have
decisively altered the outcome of the 2008 Presidential Election of
Barack Obama.
In particular, Rice s presence on the Republican ticket would have
cut across and appealed to several crucial demographic
constituencies that no other Republican possibly could in 2008 (or,
for that matter, in 2012 either). Moreover, the selection of Rice
would have averted the devastatingly negative Voter impact of Sarah
Palin s perceived lack of readiness to become President that
endured through Election Day. Whereas, had Romney been onboard as
an equal member of such a political triumvirate paradigm, the
frantic and impulsive vacillations displayed by John McCain that
excruciatingly transpired in the two weeks following the onset of
the Wall Street Economic Meltdown in mid September 2008, need not
ever have occurred.
Further, this book will examine how John McCain and the Republican
Party, during the 2008 Presidential campaign, allowed themselves to
be essentially handcuffed and effortlessly painted into a corner by
Barack Obama and the Democrats on several major campaign issues for
which justifiable, principled departures from rigid Republican
Doctrine did, and still do, exist today.
Additionally, the personality traits of both McCain and Obama are
analyzed as a basis for projecting their respective presidential
crisis decision-making potential; based on observable behavior and
reaction to events that occurred during the 2008 campaign. A
similar analysis details how both McCain and Obama, at crucial
times during the campaign, allowed their respective insecurities
and/or petty vindictiveness to cloud and potential jeopardize even
their most overriding, single-minded ambition: To be elected
President.
The daunting (and maybe insurmountable) outlook confronting the
Republican Party in 2012 and beyond will also be explored. Indeed,
for the Republican Party, after 2020, the future looks even more
bleak; at which time, if nothing materially changes, the Democrat
Party will dominate the White House as the only remaining viable
National Political Party.
As to the immediate future, a valid and objective Voter Expectation
of the Republican Party is that their criticism of the Obama
Democrat Administration will be accompanied by thoughtful,
comprehensive alternative solutions. Moreover, it is axiomatic that
Voters will, typically, not opt to change horses in the middle of
the stream unless 1) the party in power seeking re-election is
perceived not only as a troubled presidency (1980: Carter); but, as
an additional prerequisite, 2) the opposition party a) has detailed
alternative solutions and b) can articulate them (1980: Reagan).
