It'll be Huckabee, watch and see.

[oblomov]

Why not just merge the two parties, when there is so little distinction left?

The GOP can nominate McCain/Obama, and the Dems can nominate Obama/McCain.

[MrsPatriot]

I bet it will be Lieberman.

[Uncle Hal]

I hope it is not Huckabee. That would be s sure losing ticket.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hey, Juan Hernandez was born in Dallas, Texas, making him eligible for the office....

[ari-freedom]

Governor Sanford is McCain's kind of guy

Sanford says he brought the pigs to the lobby to make a point - - to show that state lawmakers were on a freewheeling spending binge when they dispatched 105 of his 106 budget vetoes in 99 minutes the day before. The Senate did virtually the same Thursday by overriding 100 vetoes.

[CapnJack]

"McCain even laid out a job description of sorts: "The fundamental principle behind any selection of a running mate would be whether that person is fully prepared to take over and shares your values, your principles, your philosophy and your priorities," he said."

Holy smokes! McCain has got Fat Teddy on his short list!!

[hadaclueonce]

Put RINO Rick Perry on the list. I would vote for that just to make him go away from Texas.

I will say this right now: I don't like that McCain is going to be the Republican nominee, but given the stakes, I would vote for him over Clinton or Obama. If he chooses a genuine conservative as a running mate, I'll be there. But if he selects that slimy little Arkansan prick as his Vice President, I will stay home on Election Day, so help me God.

[CalifChris]

Dick Cheney. *grin*

[FrdmLvr]

Romney.

[NittanyLion]

I mentioned this on another thread...if I were McCain's strategy advisor I'd tell him to convince Colin Powell to run. He's already alienated the base; he might as well pick a VP designed to secure the middle. If Powell won't run, I'd go with Tim Pawlenty.

And now my standard disclaimer: I don't care for the politics of either man.

[BBell]

Steve Forbes

He will counter anything anyone has to say about McCain not knowing enough about the economy.

[supercat]

He will counter anything anyone has to say about McCain not knowing enough about the economy.

Would you trust McCain to actually listen to anything Mr. Forbes had to say?

[MNJohnnie]

But if he selects that slimy little Arkansan prick as his Vice President, I will stay home on Election Day, so help me God.

Don't do that. Go vote for every solid Conservative on the ticket. Send as many Conservatives to Congress to possible, then if by some act of Satan they win, we can do his agenda what he spent the last decade doing to ours.

[andy58-in-nh]

I live in New England. If there is a “solid Conservative” available to vote for anywhere on the ticket, it will be a miracle.

[Hattie]

I hope it is not Huckabee. That would be s sure losing ticket.

Get ready for disappointment.

I’m looking for Obama to choose a real outsider for VP - Ophra.
