What a refreshing bit of unintended truth from Susan Rice, Barack Obama's Senior Foreign Policy Adviser. John McCain, are you paying attention? The ball just fell into your hands...
---
UPDATE: Sorry, Hillary. Rasmussen reports Americans overwhelmingly want McCain to answer that late night call.
The commercial was credited as one factor enabling Clinton to turn her campaign around in Texas last week. But, 42% of all voters said the person they’d most want to answer the phone was John McCain. Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama as the person they’d want in the White House when a foreign policy crisis call arrived.
Among Democrats, 46% said they’d like Clinton to take that call while 36% named Obama.
Among Republicans, 79% named McCain while neither Democrat reached double digits.
Among unaffiliated voters, 39% said McCain would be their top choice to handle such a crisis. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of unaffiliateds said they thought Obama was the best to handle the call while 18% named Clinton.
