Randy Scheunemann, one of John McCain’s top foreign policy advisers, represents a key link in neoconservative strategy that seeks simultaneously to remove hostile regimes in the Middle East and to box in Russia through an expanded NATO that incorporates former Soviet bloc countries.
Scheunemann has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for his past lobbying work on behalf of the government of Georgia, even while he was advising McCain who vowed to bar lobbyists from his campaign.

What are you going to say when Obama announces that honorary co-chair of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq Evan Bayh is his VP?
The Obama campaign should tie McCain to Scheuneman's national security ideology and lobbying conflicts of interest just like they successfully tied McCain's economic policies to the hard assed capitalism and campaign donation patters of former McCain advisor Phil Gramm.
As to Evan Bayh ending up the veep choice, I simply don't believe Barack Obama would be that stupid.
Why further antagonize the Democratic base, and muddle up his own credentials as the man who has always had the judgment to see that the Iraq war was dumb, by putting a guy on his ticket who's encumbered with all that awkward pro-war baggage? Evan Bayh doesn't even add geographic balance.
Bill Richardson would be a far, far better choice as a vice presidential nominee.
