Ben Stein says he knows how Sen. John McCain can win

Preston on Politics: Bueller? Bueller? -- McCain needs Rove - CNN.com

Quote:
That's right, that Karl Rove.
At a time when McCain is seeking to distance himself from President Bush, Stein argues McCain needs to enlist Bush's chief political guru in order to defeat Sen. Barack Obama.
"I don't discount the possibility that some really smart person at the McCain campaign might go over to Karl Rove, and say 'We will offer you all the kingdoms of the world if you will come and guide our campaign,' " a hopeful-sounding Stein said in a recent interview, during which he also discussed Al Franken's Senate bid and his thoughts on a sequel to the 1986 box office smash "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," which launched Stein's film career.
Stein is not unlike many Hollywood types in that he speaks his mind when it comes to politics. But what separates him from the pack is his professional background and party affiliation.
Stein is an actor and an author, but he is also an economist, columnist and, yes, a lawyer. And he is a Republican, making him a minority in Tinseltown political circles. Watch Ben Stein's take on politics »
Did I mention that Stein also worked as a speech writer for President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford? Yes, that's right, that Richard Nixon.
Thoughts?

I don't think Karl Rove would want to take the pay cut.

McCain could really use the services of Dick Morris.

He needs Criss Angel to teach him how to levitate during a debate. That should do the trick.

Yes, he has a shot, besides, Rev. Wright is still alive and well. No telling what he'll have to say between now and November.

Oh he'll not say anymore. He was conveniently used last time and has been put on the bench for the rest of the season.

I was thinking the first line of negative Rev. Wright commercials might get him out and talking.
