Sanford Draws A Blank On McCain/Bush Economics

[Undercurrent]

The most painful clip from the Sunday morning shows: top McCain VP prospect Mark Sanford "drawing a blank" (in his own words) on live TV when asked to name a major economic policy that President Bush and John McCain disagree on.

The transcript:

LITZER: Are there any significant economic differences between what the Bush administration has put forward over these many years as opposed to now what John McCain supports?


SANFORD: Um, yeah. For instance, take, you know, take, for instance, the issue of -- I'm drawing a blank, and I hate it when I do that, particularly on television. Take, for instance the contrast on NAFTA. I mean, I think that the bigger issue is credibility in where one is coming from, are they consistent where they come from.

1. Ouch. Take him off the VP list.

2. I saw that! He eventually came up with one thing to answer the question

and that was on earmarks. Other than that, he fell back to how McSame differed from Obama. And Blitzer called him on it every time.

3. Words didn't do it justice

It was awkward. He stammered for a good 20 seconds before saying he was drawing a blank. That should be used in a DNC ad.

5. Did he pull a "Miss South Carolina"?

If you can't make up bullshit or a lie on the spot then you aren't getting the position
