. . . the McCain team is roping her off from the press and surrounding her with Bushie advisors, which sounds like the third ring of hell. She’s a talented politician, Bill [Kristol] advises, so let her out to do what she is good at doing. I think Bill is mostly right.I wholeheartedly agree that having "Bushie advisers" is like being in the third ring of hell. But wouldn't McCain's own Bushie advisors like Steve Schmidt have to free John McCain first?

Let McCain Be McCain
Conservative columnist Mona Charen writes that the McCain campaign should liberate Sarah Palin to be herself.

You want an unfettered candidate then you need a Ralph Nader, Bob Barr or Cynthia McKinney. Put those three into the debate and you will get some non-scripted comments. Wouldn't that be fun!
Don't the funding sources and the media really demand or require party line scripting to be the party candidates for president?
No candidate wants to wander into the fray of real questions or issues that are difficult. Notice that there were no foreign policy questions about China in the last debate. There were no questions about illegal immigration.
It would be great to hear a real "unplugged" McCain or Palin in a real debate and not a "staged performance". Biden is half there already and offers a one-man side show when he get his feet near his mouth.
Here is my one-on-one no-holds-barred debate wish list:
Cynthia McKinney -vs- John McCain;
Ralph Nader -vs- Barack Obama;
Bob Barr -vs- Sarah Palin; and
finally, Joe Biden -vs- Himself!
I will be watching next Thursday.
I'm not so much interested in no holds barred debate as I am in teasing the right. McCain's advisers keep McCain on just as short as they keep Palin.
