"Gephardt is the one we're most afraid of,"

As well they should be. Bet Obama's too dumb to put him on the ticket.

Now why would anyone brighter than a 1/2 watt bulb tell their foes what they feared most?

Gephardt? Isn't he the congressman who lost his reelection the same night a certain very short senator became deeply saddened?

Dick Gephardt?!?!? That’s the BEST the Dems can do? Mr. “Those who have won life’s lottery have an obligation to the rest of us”? The man whom Rush Limbaugh properly and stingingly characterized as “A small man from a small state with a limited understanding of economics”? Definitely bring him on. Two arrogant hard lefties on the Dem ticket would be a dream.

The question is: Is anyone on the dim side that dim?

I still think he is gonna pick Webb. He has to add gravitas(not saying Webb has it though) to his ticket.

I think he has to add a military man.

I’m praying it will be:

1. Sebelius...Very Pro-abortion on demand into the third trimester. She’ll rally the troops..

2. Wesley Clark...Gay fired Nato General who of course says John McCain is unfit for the presidency because he wasn’t really a hero...and feels Kerry and Obama are true heros. This guy is a first class idiot...and I’m glad that he’s still in the Obama campaign...

3. Richardson...Flabby gut and @ss flake who can’t put a noun and verb together in English or Spanish...I hope too that he keeps that beard, or better yet, a pancho villa mustache with a sambrero on the campaign trail...This guy looks like he doesn’t know when to come out of the rain..

4. Gephardt? Yawn...

I think he needs a southern governor with military experience.
