Frank Rich: McCain is 'too weak' to be President

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow sat down with New York Times editorial columnist Frank Rich to discuss eerie similarities they observed between a McCain/Palin administration and that of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney since they took office in 2000.
...................

Frank Rich concurred.


"I'm sure he's happy with this," Rich opined. "He probably didn't anticipate it--it probably went beyond their expectations. But there's of course a downside to it for him...it raises the question of who's really running the show and, you know, who's really going to be the stronger person should they get to the White House."

Whether or not McCain made the decision to make Palin his running mate, Rich said, is unclear, though it was, either way, to placate his base at the expense of his preferred mate, Sen. Joe Lieberman.

"He crumbled," Rich said, "and now we have Sarah Palin."

Wall Street, as a major source of funding for Republican candidates, may indeed be charmed by the idea of a President and Vice President who have little knowledge of economic matters, Maddow said. "And they think, 'Perfect! Empty vessel. They know nothing, and they know they know nothing, so let's use them to advance a special interest agenda, the kind of agenda we can push through with strong-minded advisors who talk well.' And these people won't resist in any way because they don't have any ideas of their own."
