He may not like Huck, but he knows he HAS to pick him or he will lose in a landslide.

Sorry, the opposite is true. He loses in a landslide if he chooses the huckabigot, as millions of social conservatives will stay home.

Obama is worthless as a Senator and shows typical crappy judgement as is his usual pattern. Let him pick Clark.
That will further insure his defeat in November!

Wesley Clark is more of what Obama is looking for. Aloof, elitist, and holds a much inflated opinion of himself.

Jindal is way too young and his resume needs some filling out.

Excuse me? Jindal has experience at the state level in Louisiana then US Congressman and now Governor! Bobby Jindal is a far more viable candidate than some of the other names being thrown around (like Huckabee).

But what you are missing is Jindal’s real appeal for McCain Moonbats. He’s young, conservative, with a wonderful family and he’s ethnic. These are the contrasts old white guy with a patrician upbringing needs when running against a charismatic ethnic opponent whose patrician upbringing is lost in all the idiots who are congratulating themselves to be so progressive they nominated a black man.

Speaking of which, when did crafting a ticket become like ordering at Starbucks from some political barista?: I’ll take a half Kenyan/half Columbian (or whatever) with room for Caucasian on top….. In this environment, McCain comes off as exciting as chicken broth.

I respectfully disagree. We’re thinking like Republicans here. Remember, that McCain’s biggest strength will be common sense Democrats.

Remember how the drive-by media rigged it so that Carter and Reagan were neck and neck in the polls. Then Mondale and Reagan were neck and neck in the polls. It was all bunk but we didn’t know that at the time.

McCain’s navy wins easily in November. I just hope he goes to the right with the VP choice. The hottie governor from Alaska would be purr-fect. All the feminazis will vote for her ’cause she’s got female parts and we conservatives will vote for her ’cause she’s actually conservative.

Somebody’s got to nominate a woman this year.

ladies…there is a blogger that cares

Of course, I think he’s dead, which would hamper his debate performances. But the media would proclaim him the winner anyway, so that damage could be controlled.

Besides, we know Obama will already have the deceased vote locked up no matter what.

McCain: I think it will be Mitt because of his ground organization, money, strength on economic issues, and ability to bring in Michagan.

Lol!

Romney as VP nominee = Ubama landslide victory

The VP nominee has already been decided.

I don’t think he’ll pick Webb because they need him in the Senate.

Now do we do the fist bump and move on with life?

Webb wrote of a Cambodian Father who performed a sex act on his son. Disgusting stuff. Caused about a week of news on the blogs and some minor mainstream media stories. But never really took off.

Watch for it to be a big issue if Obama taps him for VP.

I’m not knocking her, just wondering what others see that makes her so special that I’m apparently missing.

I agree. Perhaps, if she was about to complete her first term as Governor of Alaska instead of just starting it, I would say put her on the ticket.

McCain Googles for VP, Rules Out Amy Winehouse
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 16 Comments
(2008-06-10) — Sen. John McCain today said his Google search for a vice presidential candidate is “going well” and that so far he has definitively ruled out choosing as his running mate singer Amy Winehouse.

The McCain presidential campaign, eager for the septuagenarian to boost his appeal among young voters, vetted the five-time Grammy winning singer using the popular search engine.

“It turns out that she’s a British citizen,” said Sen. McCain. “It’s amazing what you can learn about people with Google.”

The Arizona Senator’s vice presidential search team has reportedly turned its attention to learning more about movie director Spike Lee.

LOL

Yeah, okay, like, whatever, you know?

Anyone hitching his wagon to this impending train-wreck must have snot fer brains.

oh, wait…Democrats…nevermind

McCain could probably do better than Rell. How about Michael Steele?

Steve Z on June 10, 2008 at 5:36 PM

As I understand it, she only signed the civil union law after an amendment was added to define a marriage as between a man and a woman. Also, the law was passed in the legislature, so it was not a case in which the judicial branch imposed it. As far as I know, that meets all of the requirements for mainstream social conservative acceptance of the law, unless the goalposts have moved while I wasn;t looking (I’m no social conservative, so I may be wrong.) Rell’s bigger “problem” would be the fact that she is pro-choice, which will turn off a lot of pro-life voters; however, if the gambit is to pick a woman for demographic appeal, there’s really not a lot of wiggle room for a strict pro-lifer (the women who vote based on abortion vote overwhelmingly for the GOP anyway).

As for Michael Steele, he’d need to have more experience than his term as Lieutenant Governor to be considered for high national office.

BigD on June 10, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Big D I am sure not that “old’ unless early 30’s is old.

As for limey… like I care? He thinks she is a MILF/GILF… and I don’t blame him.

scrappleface is funny today…went there looking for something else, but he’s got a couple of great items

Governor Jodi Rell of CT (mentioned by Big S) would be an interesting pick, but probably not the best. She is a fiscal conservative, who has vetoed many spending bills from an overwhelmingly Democrat state legislature, but she also signed off on “civil unions” for gay couples, which wouldn’t fit well with McCain’s position on the issue. She’s fairly articulate on economic issues, but is not the world’s most inspiring speaker, although she is popular here in CT, and might put the state in play for McCain, especially if Senator Lieberman also campaigns for him.

McCain could probably do better than Rell. How about Michael Steele?

I’ve looked at her bio./record and I can’t see what the big attraction is, other than she is a former beauty queen. It isn’t that she isn’t qualified, but that I can’t find anything that sets her above the rest or that indicates she would fill in any gaps. Being a woman isn’t enough, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m not knocking her, just wondering what others see that makes her so special that I’m apparently missing.

Am I the only one who thinks “wild eyed crazy cracker” when I see Jim Webb?

funky chicken on June 10, 2008 at 5:04 PM

Andrea Mitchell would probably agree with you.

BigD on June 10, 2008 at 4:20 PM

I really don’t think Sarah having a child with problems makes that a standing issue. Do you?

Does anyone else? Good Lord, people such as you who keep bringing it up are worse then the people who say McCains teeth are yellow or that Thompson is too old!

Maybe you should think about it. In the mean Time.. grow up!

upinak on June 10, 2008 at 5:25 PM

With all due respect, upinak, I think you need to look at the context of the question LimeyGeek posed, and if you don’t know what it means, ask somebody alot younger than you.

Although I will say I wish the thread had not gone off in that direction.
