If you are conservative you gotta love Haley Barbour. Not only did he help engineer the revolutioon of 1994 with Newt, he has been a fine governor for Mississippi. He has that natural warmth you can't fake and the common touch untainted by the snarky hypocrite nastiness of huckleberry.

In addition, Barbour knows the ropes and would make a fine president.

I saw Watts on an infomercial years back, but I seem to remember it was some kind of self-help book or something, not one of those Matthew Lesko programs. Either way though, I thought it greatly hurt him. If that isn’t big enough to hurt him though, I think he’d be a good enough choice for VP.

Possible tickets he might like:

McCain-Feingold
McCain-Kennedy
McCain-Lieberman

Or, if Obama is the opponent:

McCain-Hillary

Reaching across the aisle, you know.

McCain needs to pick someone to his right and at least eight years younger than his 71 (72 by November).

Considering McCain's age and his health, a solid conservative, somewhat younger VP could be important, if not for succession should something happen during McCain's hopefully one term, then for 2012.

I don't think McCain will pick Thompson (who is too close in age), Romney (who will want to be free for a 2012 run), or Huckabee (who outlived his usefulness).

McCain-Sanford? I don't know much about Sanford, but he's southern, and I'm assuming he's younger and more conservative.

Jeb! If we are gonna have a Clinton on the ballot in Nov, why not a Bush?

No, he needs the Hispanic Bush kid. We have to consider the wishes of our millions of new Mexican citizens.

I think he will pick Lieberman too. And I have a feeling that Hillary will fire up a big F.U. to Obama and the black folks and pick Bill Richardson as her VP candidate.

Tim Russert said he’s already offered it to the Huck.

That was before Romney dropped out........

I doubt McCain will be returning Huck's calls anytime soon.

If he picked me, then maybe I’d think about voting for him.

from Infomerical-Hell.com

"The infomercial for the National Grants Conference promotes a seminar by Mike and Irene Milin that’s supposed to reveal secrets for wrangling taxpayer money from the government. The show includes a panel of several unknown ex-bureaucrats. The earlier version of the infomercial also featured former congressman J.C. Watts and the current version features former congressman J.D. Hayworth. Both of these men once were movers and shakers in the halls of Congress. Now they’re peddling schemes for getting rich off government money; they’ve essentially turned themselves into Matthew Lesko with better wardrobes."

Essentially, it’s an attempt to slice away social conservatism from having a voice in the GOP.
