More Advice For McCain

This is from someone:

Actually, I think this month's DC offensive [against the war] looks to be more kabuki than real, with the real fight to come, as before, in September. But when the decisive point is closer, why doesn't McCain really man up on this, put aside traditional media pushing and, say, call out the heads of the surrender caucus (Jim Webb?) to a national televised debate on surge results and the war going forward? Not to "win" even, but to get facts past the media filter, energize our side, and get people focused on the real dimensions of our choice.

Maybe that particular stunt won't fly, but surely there's some serious out-of-the-box stuff he could pull now that he's an ultra-long-shot candidate. And heck, if he were thereby to become the guy who saved the war, *I'd* consider voting for him.

And someone hates McCain, so that's something.

It's a pretty good idea. Everyone says we're having a "national debate," but we're really having nothing of the sort.
