McCain-Gramm???
Just thinking out loud here. Since the blogs are practically on fire both for and against John McCain, I wonder if one of McCain's old Senate buddies, Phil Gramm, would do anything to assuage the angst of both me and my true-blue conservative brethren.
I used to work for Phil Gramm and truly, the man is stone cold brilliant. We could frankly use an Economics PhD as a Veep. The beauty of Phil Gramm is also that he is that miraculous blend between the fiscal and social conservative -- like the mythical beast....the unicorn....they truly do exist! Gramm actually introduced a Constitutional Amendment every year to protect the unborn. He is a top notch conservative. Usually mentioned for Treasury Secretary or even laughably as a Chief of Staff. (Edit: Please understand that whatever job Phil Gramm would obtain....he would do remarkable things and be extraordinarily successful. But Chief of Staff just isn't a big enough job for that monumental brain!)
Nope. I figure if the trend is going toward McCain.....at least put someone in the understudy chair that would truly fire up conservatives.
I dunno. What do you think?

I was strongly for Gramm when he ran for president and I think his wife is a wonderful person who has done great work in the cause of sane regulatory policy. That said, Wendy was on the Enron board, and McCain wants to run against corruption (among other things). The Democrats would pound McCain over the Enron connection. Wendy not having done anything wrong would not matter.
