For the so-called "undecided" voters who can't make up their minds between Barack Obama and John McCain, I believe there is a better reason than ever to pull the lever for McCain. Susan Sarandon has announced that if John McCain wins the presidency, she will leave the country for perhaps Canada or Italy.
Now call me cynical, but Alec Baldwin has already broken my heart along with his promise to leave the country if George W. Bush beat Al Gore in the 2000 race. Therefore, I have my doubts about Sarandon's sincerity. Once bitten, twice shy, as they say. But it certainly is enticing to think of the win-win that could result in a McCain victory. Not only would we get to see both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama defeated in the same year, we might also get to see Susan Sarandon walking down a jetway at LAX with a one-way ticket to Rome.
McCain should take full advantage of this. Picture the campaign ad: An obviously confused voter stands in the booth, scrunching his eyebrows and nibbling a fingernail, unable to decide which lever to flip. Video "thought balloons" appear over his furrowed brow. There's Barack Obama, talking about "bitter" West Virginians and how America is a great and prosperous country, and how he wants to change that. Then a balloon showing John McCain in obvious celebration, with falling confetti and red, white, and blue bunting behind him, speaking of the greatness of America and his optimism for its future...as Susan Sarandon walks down that jetway. Tagline: "Send A Patriot To The White House, And Send Liberal To Italy!"
A boy can dream, can't he?
