I agree with Daniel

Daniel Finkelstein blogged Take your pick

1. This is a brilliant idea, providing an unknown candidate with a cut-through gimmick that helps him be remembered. The campaign strategist is a genius.
2. This is a lamentable idea, making a no-hope candidate look ridiculous, diminish his effectiveness as a Senator and reduce the chances of the only hope he has - that he might make VP on someone's else's ticket. The campaign strategist is a buffoon.

It's B for me.


I must agree with Daniel. Dodd is an idiot for going along with this.
