McCain Gets a Boost from Thugo Chavez

Sometimes your enemies play right into your hands. McCain owes a big thank you to the mad Venezuelan


March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said John McCain is showing a more confrontational stance with Venezuela than the current U.S. administration, and relations may worsen should McCain win this year's presidential election.
Chavez said Republican candidate McCain has criticized U.S. President
George W. Bush for being too ``soft'' on Venezuela's government.
``McCain seems like a man of war,'' Chavez told reporters today in Caracas. ``People say it's impossible to get worse than Bush, but we can't be sure.''

I'm not sold on McCain, but my one vote doesn't carry much weight. The Republicans were very vulnerable to losing the white house this year, but if Hillary and Barack continue their demolition derby, then McCain will have a cakewalk to the inauguration in January.
