One-time GOP rivals John McCain and Rudy Giuliani bonded over hot dogs and twizzlers in front row seats by the New York Yankees dugout Sunday, providing a snapshot of a possible Republican ticket.
A reporter disguised as a fan shouted to McCain, "How about Rudy for vice president?" The presumptive Republican nominee, casually dressed in sunglasses, a collared shirt with rolled sleeves and his Navy baseball cap, just smiled and waved.

I’ll definitely stay home for sure.
BUMP
Wow! Here I thought he could not choose worse than Romney. Well, color me surprised.
McCain's pal Lindsay Graham is worse, for one.
I have not read or heard McCain has chosen Rudy and neither have you.
I have been to a Padre baseball game with a neighbor
who has views far different than mine and doesn’t mean I was changing or going along with theirs.
Hmmmm... who all is still on the list?
• Giuliani
• Romney
• Lieberman
• Graham
• Hillary
• Fiorina
• Bloomberg
PING~
Rudy is a HAS BEEN. WTF was McCain even in New York for anything other than financing, and why was he hanging out with human slime like Rudy anyway?
Part of the people,as conservatives, believe if McCain picks a conservative VP then they can pray the VP can be president. If he picks Rudi,I believe all bets are off and conservatives will just hang tough,pray,pray,pray through an Obama presidency making sure that the GOP got the message.
“disguised as a fan” hmmmmmm...
Especially the opinions of fans of the fags in a lighter shade of blue of pinstripes from Queens ;)
To stay home is a vote for Obama!
Rumor has it that McCain's first pick, Vicente Fox, has been talking to the Obama Birth Certificate people.
The alternative is so bad, I would vote for a McCain/Rudy ticket or even a McCain/Mickey Mouse ticket.
This election cycle is just depressing. I usually have some enthusiasm. But, this time around, I just cannot feel at all good about the prospects. I do not believe McCain will pick any kind of conservative as a running mate. I know, I know, staying home is a vote for BOH. But, I don’t have to like the choice. This is truly a clothespin year for me.
Wow. Just when I was resigned to having to hold my nose and pull the lever for McCain, I hear about this potential landmine.
That poster is a hard core Obama collaborator . He only posts either McCain hit pieces or attacks any positive McCain news. He is real busy trying to get Obama elected on this website. Alot of his posts read like left wing nutroots talking points .
Well, they may like it in Noo Yawk, but....hey, it ain’t gonna fly in flyover land.
1-27-2008. Thats your born on date. You ain’t a conservative and you smell like a new troll. Do you need a new mug or something? Bwahahahaha!
Pipe down
Free Beer Day at the ol’ ball park?
You are correct and there are more on FR
They know how to push the buttons on the anti McCain folks
to get them to posts with no facts only their hatred for McCain which exceeds Marxist Obama.
McCain was not my first tier choice but I am voting for America not for a Marxist - IslamOfascist society which Obama will give us.
They think by sitting home of voting for Roberto Barr or Carlos Baldwin who share many views of the far left being anti war, ACLU, 9/11 truthers, etc.
I know you're a newbie but you should know the rules by now: Ping people to posts when you are talking behind their back.
BTW, opposing McCain and his liberalism does not make one an "Obama collaborator".
You lib pubbies crack me up. This BS about how McLame wasn't your 1st choice is always the first spot of BS out of your lib mouths. What next? He is better than Obama? Oh, the grand mug collector finale is......you must be for Obama. Tell you the truth, if you can cheerlead McCain, you are far more likely to be a future supporter of Obama or...lets say...Hillary, than people who reject McCain. Truth hurts.
HOGWASH, SCP.
These are the Schwarzenegger-type operatives, playing the same tactics and saying the same crap that gave us a liberal in California and has destroyed the CA GOP, our economy, and so much more.
I would think that you’d not join in with them again.
Support McCain if you like, but don’t encourage the trojan-horse infiltrators that have one objective: advancing liberalism in *both* parties.
Do you actually believe that by bullying people as you are doing that will get them to vote for your hero and mentor mccain? When you get back to his campaign headquarters be sure to tell him a better way would be to start acting like a conservative and stop kissing up to anti-American race groups like La Raza.
Two socialists in a pod.
He managed less than 3% of the entire primary vote and couldn't even crack 15% in Florida, where he practically lived. Is there any other state where he even got into double digits?
These are not good arguments for a VP slot.
I think he *was* able to scrounge ONE delegate!
Give the guy credit! ;-)
Does anyone in their right mind think that even something as reprehensible as THAT would some how deprogram the hopelessly koolaid-ed McCainBots/Bushbot/Republican Firster types here on FR?
This election cycle is just depressing. I usually have some enthusiasm. But, this time around, I just cannot feel at all good about the prospects.

You are not alone, FRiend. I have not been this cynical and disillusioned about any other presidential election in my life.
The way I see it, the only way Obummer loses is if he picks Hitlery as VP, thereby turning out the conservative vote big time. Only overwhelming numbers can defeat the Rats vast voter fraud machine.
Rule?
Lindsey Graham is the only stay home VP for me.
American loses no matter what. My fear, other than the obvious, is what happens after the election? If Obama wins, there will be riots. And, if he loses...there will be ....riots! I know I cannot be the only one who sees this as happening. If BOH runs, win or lose, we are in trouble. Boy, am I ever a pessimist, eh??
You are looking into the wrong end of the telescope. The only way Obama wins is if McCain is the Republican candidate. McCain is not reaching out to conservatives, and they won't support him as they did GWB in 2000 and 2004. Truth sucks, don't it?
“Baseball Fans Chant for McCain/Giuliani 2008 Ticket”
That might be the single mosr powerful pick that McFraud could possibly make that would give me no choice but to NOT vote Republican for POTUS this year.
* Feingold
* Clinton
I know many of the McCain supporters, some personally.
on FR. They are Conservative and did not support McCain in the primary but know what is at stake.
No Arnold fan but the CA GOP fight can’t be brought to this election.
We have a war and other problems and having Obama in charge
with his Marxist friends and had said he will tear down our defense.
Hunter and Tancredo are supporting McCain because they know what is a stake and sheriff Ampayo of AZ who was supporting Romney is probably supporting McCain.
There is a lot that is correct in your post.
I would go with thompson
“disguised as a fan” hmmmmmm...”
Well he is frequently disguised as a Republican.....
“That poster is a hard core Obama collaborator .”
You are a friggin’ idiot.
“To stay home is a vote for Obama!”
Do you always make ASSumptions about people that you have never met?
When you show up in public in the same place with people with whom you disagree (especially politicians), it lends them credibility they don't deserve.
I worked for Reagan when he first ran for Gov.
saw him many times and spoke with him.
I and others have countered the Code Pinkos many times here
and also was one of the counters against over 50,000 Mexicans Marching here in San Diego.
Have been on FReeper events with JR and dozens of FReepers.
I have relatives right now in Iraq, Afgan and Africa.
You have no clue.
The Diamondbacks were playing NL West rivals LA Dodgers tonight. I wonder where John McQueeg was? Oh, I know...missing another Senate vote.
and BTW you can go back to earlier post in the year and see I was a big time supporter of Duncan Hunter, and still think he would be a great president but he is no longer running.
I have met Hunter and is one of our 5 congressmen here in San Diego.
I am in a city with the largest concentration of military in the U.S. and see and hear more than most what is going on and receive e-mails from relatives in the war zones.
It's my opinion, and that of some others, that McCain is going by the same playbook. Arnold has accomplished more for the liberal agenda in California than any democrat could have dreamed of and destroyed the state party at the same time. Some believe McCain will do the same thing on a national level. You're entitled to disagree with that but, frankly, your posts accusing conservative freepers of being "haters" or Baldwin/Barr supporters or Dem trolls is just not true and getting really old.
