This is a quick idea, but I couldn't resist.
This is, frankly, why we come up short. We aren't asshat enough.
So... think... if I were an asshat, what would I do?
I'd begin selling:
MCCAIN DIPSTICKS
An oil dipstick with McCain's name on the end. Maybe an engraving of McCain's face in that spot that measure's if you have enough oil? Just a thought.
So what happens next?
1) Hillary remains in race but essentially signs a non-aggression pact w/Obama. They play out the states.
2) After Oregon, Obama has mathematically won a majority of elected delegates, puts out statement offering to essentially seat MI/FL nearly as-is.
3) With MI and FL seated and him still having a solid (100+) delegate lead, and a lead in pop. vote, supers endorse Obama on June 4th.
5) Also June 4th, Hillary drops out, graciously concedes and removes herself from consideration for veep.
