Hayworth’s losing his seat in last November’s election says more about the mindset of Arizona voters than it does about Hayworth himself.

We can only hope and pray that Mrs. Bill Clinton would be dumb enough to pick Barack Hussein Obama as her running mate. I have a sinking feeling though she will probably pick someone like Sam Nunn or George Mitchell, as they bring some sort of “sanity cred” to the ticket.

The dem choice for VP nominee will depend on which strategy the dems want to accentuate.

Blue State Strategy- Obama
Southern Strategy- Edwards
Western Strategy- Richardson

Democratic presidential nomination.
Democrat presidential nomination (correction)

Republican J.D. Hayworth, who lost a presumably safe congressional seat in Arizona last year after taking a hard line on immigration, has resurfaced with a fundraising appeal for a new organization called Citizens United for a Secure America (CUSA).

Pure BS. JD lost to Mitchell, the former mayor of Tempe, took an equally "hard line" on illegal aliens. JD lost for a number of reasons, i.e., some personal questions about employment of his wife, a strong Dem candidate, and redistricting, which made his district more Dem.

The MSM and the Dems are trying to create the myth that a strong stand on illegal immigration is not a popular position and will cost candidates their elections if they take a tough stand. Nonsense.

"Prominent Democrats from the South are in short supply today."

Don't be silly! The place is crawling with them! Cynthia McKinny! Janet Reno! Sheila Jackson Lee! Adam Gadahn! Now there's a thought! If he can reinvent himeself as a Muslim jihadi, why not a Southerner? Say, what about George Clooney's old man? Madeleine Allbright! If she didn't know she was a Jew, maybe she didn't know she was a Southerner either! William Jefferson? Or Tipper Gore--that's an interesting thought. Al! What about Jennifer Flowers; is she a Democrat? Kathleen Willey? She worked for the Democrat Party in Virginia. Juanita Broaddrick? Paula Jones? Are they still Democrats? What about the Mayor of Macon, Georgia? Whatzisname. Betcha haven't thought of him! Cindy Sheehan has spent time in Texas. Maybe she qualifies. Craig Livingstone! If nobody knows who hired him, maybe nobody knows whether he's from the South or not; so he might as well be. Sean Penn! He's been to New Orleans. Can he talk with a Southern accent? Tim Roberts? I think his mother-in-law lives in Florida. O. J. Simpson! He lives in Florida. If he's not a Democrat, he might be persuadable. And Bill Clinton! Any reason why he can't run for Vice President?

Get goin', Demos! You're overlooking some of your best resources!

Even if Clinton wanted Obama on the ticket I can’t imagine why Obama would want to join. He wants to be president, and traditionally the vice-president slot has not been the road to the White House.

[Lancey Howard]

LOL, anybody who believes that Hillary would choose Obama as a running mate smoking something deadly. Hillary will choose the whitest, most attractive, moderate-to-conservative male Democrat she can find. It will be a candidate who is NOT especially hated by the right, and one who can help with the electoral college, ie. the “purple” states (probably somebody who is from the South or from the midwest “flyover” country).

It will NOT be Obama, not in a million years. Period. That speculation is the most naive I have ever heard.

[budwiesest]

I've always thought the VP slot was the "on-deck" circle for the party looking toward the future ('till Cheney).

Hillary side-stepped this method as no president would have been comfortable serving his term in full body armor.
