McCain must be doing a happy dance right now. Getting Ms Crazy to campaign against him almost off-sets having his VP candidate for him.

I wouldn’t bet on that in Arizona, to be honest. The militia/tea party thing is a force to beware….especially in a heavily geriatric (sorry, but true) white state where the polity keeps voting in pseudo-fascistic hacks like Sherrif Joe. In Arizona, even conspiratorial madness from the ‘Nirther Queen may actually be a threat.
