Romney is the only one with any economic sense or rational energy policy.

You are spot on! More and more, I am seeing Romney as the VP. The VP doesn’t really make much difference in the state they are from. When in the last 12 years has the VP pick been important in winning that person’s state? It is more what they can do for the candidate, nationally and the states. Romney seems that perfect score and I am not a Romney fan.

Hell No - NOT Pawlentry! Pawlenty’s Record (The Wall Street Journal) Pawlentry is a global warming alarmist and big government advocate… "The era of small government is over … government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." - Tim Pawlenty "It looks like we should have listened to President Carter" - Tim Pawlenty "Climate change is real. Human behavior is … responsible. Those who don’t think so are simply not right. We should not spend time on voices that say it’s not real." - Tim Pawlenty Romney is the only one with any economic sense or rational energy policy.

[...] Ohio, on his birthday, as expected. Sounds like Ridge and Liebs are out and Mitt and Pawlenty are in: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) plans [...]

Unless Jindal’s recent denials were a smokescreen, it looks like Palin vs. Pawlenty in the finals.

I’d rather a “boring white guy” who is competent than an “exciting” other type of VP candidate that is either less experienced or would provoke a nasty intra-party fight. Jill1066 on August 18, 2008 at 3:47 PM

What if you could have both, and take control of the domestic energy issue to boot? McCain/Palin '08

I’m an evangelical voter and I WOULD vote for Obama before I put Huckabee in the White House.

highhopes on August 18, 2008 at 4:00 PM

Better get ready to vote for your muslim candidate of choice then…Huckabee will be VP!

Accept it and sign up at http://www.barackobama.com I’m sure they could use another name to run money from saudi arabia through..

I tend to think that we, citizens of the United States of America, are at less of a risk for a terrorist attack in our homes. Well, there are bad areas of Detroit…..usually they don’t shoot RPGs or leave IEDs around.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on August 18, 2008 at 3:52 PM

In general yes, but the greatest terrorist risk in the US is by enviro-greenies. And even when they aren’t blowing up Hummers, they are terrorizing us with high oil prices from rogue nations.

I don’t know if a publicized birthday party is a great idea, that’s a lot of candles.

General Petraeus?

;)

mjk on August 18, 2008 at 3:47 PM

The Petraeus murmurs really bother me because nobody knows what end of the aisle he would come down on for so many issues if he were to become President….nevermind that makes him very similar to McCain.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on August 18, 2008 at 3:52 PM

Well, once they get rid of Kwame perhaps things will improve. BTW, Detroit doesn’t need IEDs because the pot holes are far more destructive a device!

I think it is probably an theoretical toss up as to who would cost McCain more GOP votes. Lieberman is too liberal on social issues and would certainly drive away some voters. Huckabee simply scares me and I don’t like the way he has become McCain’s spokesperson for “evangelical” voters. I’m an evangelical voter and I WOULD vote for Obama before I put Huckabee in the White House.

Yep

72 candles would cause an awful lot of global warming.

Maybe add 72 virgins?
