The Campaign

Politics always amazes me. This election seems to be different than most. Maybe it is not that different, maybe it is just the first one I have really paid attention to. I found an interesting article on the Drudge Report. It was that Mitt Romney and John McCain are actually getting along. During the Republican primaries they were hated rivals. Romney was seen as an outsider by most and did not have the camaraderie that the other candidates had. This article even went as far to suggest that McCain might pick Romney as his running mate. An interesting thought to consider.

When you look at it even deeper and in a world of what ifs you could have a very interesting election. What if Barack and Hillary run on the same ticket and McCain chooses Romney you are presented with an interesting scenario. America claims to be accepting at all and open to all this election could prove that they American people really can be accepting. On one side of the ticket you would have someone that is a minority and someone that is a female. On the other side of the ticket you would have someone that is a Mormon and someone that would be older than any president ever elected.

For the first time there would actually be diversity in the race. The thought excites me. I know it is all hypothetical right now and full of buts and what ifs. If this was the scenario though I do not doubt that the news media would have a field day with it. It would be very interesting to see how they would cover it. I am sure whatever scenario presents itself this summer the media is not going to slow down on its coverage of the election.
