More on Peter Fitzgerald for VP
Written by Jack Burden on August 26th, 2008Fitzgerald would be just a final piece of gamesmanship. Picture a relatively young former Senator who got fed up with the Illinois machine and tried to fight it going on the ticket opposite of his successor, a guy who rose to prominence with the backing of Emil Jones, Richard M. Daley, and a guy who scratched some backs in return.

It’s funny that you and I had the same thoughts about Fitzgerald, but the more I think about it, the more strongly I feel about it.
Fitzgerald endorsed McCain in Nov. 2007, so he’s been in his camp forever. He’s youthful, yet experienced, and definitely a Washington “outsider.” If only this could pick up some traction.
