This past weekend President Bush accomplished something that the two remaining Democratic candidates have yet to do…make John McCain seem irrelevant. The media scrutiny over Bush’s fundraising efforts should have put both McCain and Obama on notice: the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is not going away quietly. McCain needs the money and the support of the Republican establishment that is still behind President Bush. Obama, as he did in a fundraising e-mail yesterday, can raise more money by showing the connection of Bush to McCain. In my opinion, this is bad news for McCain and good news for Obama.
In 2008 John McCain is facing a problem usually experienced by Vice Presidents (just ask Al Gore). President Bush has officially, and literally, transformed into “the big elephant” in the room that McCain wishes would go away. The election will come down to a competition between Obama’s vision vs. continuing the current domestic and foreign policy situations from eight years of the Bush Administration. McCain will become an afterthought in his own campaign for the Presidency.
Irrelevancy, thy name may be John McCain.
