Yes, it’s the whole thing...desktop, too. I tried that and the Screen Resolution arrow is already at the lowest 800. What the heck did I do, I wonder.

The downside of this lengthy primary contest, and Operation Chaos, is the number of newly recruited voters, who, in a more normal election year would have continued to be uninterested and unregistered. If they show up in large numbers for Obama in November, we (the USofA) are toast.

McCain understands how important his pick is.

A couple of articles showed up yesterday about Huckabee as the potential top-of-the-list front-runner.

I posted this in another thread:

This may be nothing more than a trial balloon to see how Huckabee fares.

Recall that a couple of weeks ago, the hoopla was about Rice being the potential/probably VP selectee, and that ‘rumor’ fizzled after the responses weren't very positive.


I figure we will see a few more 'front-runners' as more trial balloons are sent up.

I don't see McCain making the announcement anytime soon. Historically, the name isn't even revealed until the Presidential nominee is confirmed at the convention.

My hope is McCain will be similar to Harry Truman. Nobody like him at the time either.

I understand. Just think of another Ruth Bader Ginsberg nominated for the Supreme Court. McCain isn’t great but he is better than Obama or Hillary would ever be. The Supreme Court alone would mean decades of influence, not just one presidential cycle.

A point well made and impossible to refute. However, McCain is liable to do almost anything. He could appoint his friend Fred Thompson despite disagreements on amnesty, CFR (Fred wised up), a few lesser issues. That would be wonderful and I would vote for him just because of that.

OTOH he could appoint Hillary "in the interests of healing and bringing us together".

Or maybe McCain will be like Ike ... all the libs called him a do-nothing president, but sometimes that’s the best thing a president can do ... nothing.

But I think McCain fancies himself a mover and shaker.

The big advantage McCain has right now is that nobody is paying any attention to him.

Operation Chaos has been great. Republicans rarely attack Democrats and this shows it can be done effectively.

Yep, cheaper that way. Ran into a Vietnam Vet yesterday who struggles with marijuana, seemed angry and frustrated, yet he was humbly trying to explain what he was feeling as to his Marine training to fight, and that when he gets angry that’s his first response, the pot calmed him, $400 an ounce? I humbly thanked him for his service, and fully expect to see him around, FishTalk and I both got mission’s from God to serve.

If McCain selects FDT for veep, that’ll make it easier for me to do what probably must be done (vote for McCain).
But Fred Thompson has already said rather firmly that he would not accept and that there are better choices. The way he said it left little room for turning around.

I’m sure you are right, on each point. That won’t stop the rumor mill but perhaps it will give McCain something to consider as conservatives react to bad picks.

Yes I agree a President McCain might not do everything we want a Conservative president to do but a president hillary would do *NOTHING* that we wanted her to do.

That is the point some of us have been trying to get across.

All I have watched so far is Fox News. Another boring Sunday. Long discussions on differences between Obama and Clinton which actually boil down into discussions of identity politics. To think that Geraldine Ferraro was fired for saying, " Senator BO's strongest point is he is black," seems silly now.

There is virtually no discussion of McCain although from time to time someone mentions the "real conservatives" are not going to vote for him, etc.

The big news of this campaign season is not mentioned--the gradual collapse of the print media. I note today Editor and Publisher has two articles on this collapse. The Seattle paper has been marked down from more than a million to 12 million and there is a collection of papers in Michigan that are going bankrupt. Add to this the Mpls Strib facing bankruptcy as well as all the other reports one could conclude that puffing liberals does not save the newspaper.

The impending news is McCain and Obama are going head to head on issues. Hopefully soon. Race will be ever present in the background but the foreground will center on liberalism, the war, economy and so forth.

Hidden news is an uncanny belief of mine that seems to be reinforced by some things the Clinton campaign drops. An October surprise? But what. Look for something not mentioned or refused to be mentioned. "Hussein" to come back when it is discovered he was once a Muslim? Personal, something about a second family or something analogous to that? In any case it will be personal and something before 1988 when he joined Writght's church.

McCain can capture the middle if he wants to. Those conservatives who characterize others as "RINOS" can lose elections but they can't win one. They will have decide whether to support McCain and he can do little except be nice to encourage that.

McDole can afford to wait to announce VP at the convention, he’s a strong candidate. /s

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez,

This is akin to interviewing Gen McClellan in 1862 after he was fired from commanding the Army of the Potomac. What he going to say "Yeah, I screwed up the mission and was incompetent so Rumsfiled fired me"? Of course he is going to try and blame all his failures on everyone but himself. Cannot believe anyone is stupid enough to fall for this BS.

If someone who is a patriot has the potential President of the United States say to him ‘The country and I need you to do this’, few would say ‘You and the country can go to hell’.

You are under the misapprehension that Democrats think. They do not, they merely feel their politics. Obama as their candidate makes them feels good about themselves so he is their nominee. If he loses, they will blame Hillary or the nasty Republican attack machine or racism or anything but themselves for picking an incompetent, unqualified candidate

Now I must quake in fear that Obama might be my President.

Quake ye not!

Yes, we nominated the only guy who couldn't beat anybody, but they're gonna nominate the only guy who can't beat our guy.

“Michelle Norris says in Obama and McCain you have two people who have both reached across the aisle.”

True. Obama...like the rest of the Libs “reaches across the aisle” to slap Republicans around with their BS rhetoric...and McCain “reaches across the aisle” to say “thank you may I have another”

True. It will prove Democrats are not only blind but they are deaf too.
