John McCain doesn’t need a black running mate, writes Barron YoungSmith. By picking one, he would risk his advantage among racists in an attempt to pay heed to diversity, a concept Republicans find “squishy,” YoungSmith adds. Josh Patashnik feigns surprise at the news of another “sleazy lobbyist” linked to McCain, noting that his Republican National Convention chairman represented Burma’s military junta. But finding a lobbyist working for a regime as tyrannical as Burma’s is an impressive feat, Patashnik adds.
