There’s a lot of speculation over who will be on the bottom of the ticket that any reasonable American will be pulling the lever for in November. We won’t have to wait long now, but as with any good race, the turns get particularly sharp toward the finish. While there are rumors that Romney is now out of the running, and thankfully no hope for Huck, I propose something a little more “unconventional” to really spice up the Republican National Convention next week because let’s face it, they just don’t have anything lined up that will rival the spectacle that we’ve witnessed from the Democrats over the last four nights.

A lot of Republicans are still unimpressed with our pick, though we’ve admittedly warmed up to the idea of voting for our Maverick thanks to the constant Obama sensory onslaught. McCain can go a step further than simply satisfying the base with a pro-life pick, he can energize them! All he has to do is trust his gut and pick the man that he trusts most for the post… himself.

By stepping down from the top of the ticket, McCain will score ‘maverick’ points with two parties. He’ll find new favor and respect among the party faithful as well as satisfy the MSM, who have recently turned against him. Come to think of it, he’ll actually be satisfying three parties. We’ve known for a while now that McCain was flirting with the idea of having a Democrat on the ticket… and let’s face it, Johnny isn’t exactly the die-hard conservative in the Reagan model to begin with. By putting himself on the bottom, McCain can have the best of both worlds. A moderate on the bottom and a true conservative on the top. It will make for a level of ‘bipartisan cooperation’ that he hasn’t seen since the Gang of 14 or McCain–Feingold. Those worked out so well for him, didn’t they?
