That does it. It’s Joe Liebermann for McCain’s VP
</ sarcasm> (I think.)
Condi would immediately, bring me on board McCain’s campaign.
No questions asked.
That dynamic-duo won with ALMOST 44% of the vote. And wouldn't have won had not Ross Perot been in the race. And this is the lesson that McCain learned?
Barbara Boxer or Russ Feingold.
Strange huh.
I'd like Condi a lot more if she wasn't into abortion and middle east appeasement.
I know I’ve asked this before, but nobody has answered...how does this really work? Is it the candidate’s choice alone or does the GOP/DNC (holding the cash) suggest, advise, assist in the VP nomination?
Seems other agree and if this article is half true, this is the best guy out there....

He’s two-faced enough to be able to be own running mate.
That's actually a sly way of suggesting he should be dismissed while claiming to do the opposite.
I hope Huckabee wins every state from here to the convention, even though I know it probably wouldn't give him enough delegates, but doing so would put McCain in his place.
My primary isn’t until May. Unfortunately, the deadline to switch my party registration was Dec 31. I was going to vote Obama to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
Clinton-Gore was a different strategy. It was meant to amplify the Bill Clinton qualities by having two DLC Southern Democrat young men on the ticket. The message that Carville-Begala crafted was about youth and change and “Democrats aren’t just northeastern liberals anymore,” and both guys were meant to represent that.
Mark my words. John McCain will be running to the left to ensure he gets ‘the center’ and he spend the election trying to play on their turf. He will demand our compliance and expect that he is owed our love, effort, money and sweat. But he will be spending more time with people none of us respect and those people we used to respect who are now just toadies looking for a job.
McCain will get hammered by the MSM and the liberals will turn on him over the exact issues that he claims he is so conservative about. And since he already burned us, he will expect us to come out and defend him again.
He will be looking to make up for my vote by trying to get some ‘moderate democrat’ who is afraid of global warming. He will be looking to make up your vote by appealing to hispanics who want to see amnesty under a McCain administration.
McCain has a plan but it has never been to get the majority of Republican votes. He didn’t do it in the primary so what sense would it make to suddenly turn to the right to solidify his party after spending the last 8 years trying to show how much different he was from Bush and the rest of us?
And if we don’t back our House and Senate candidates (the conservative ones who AREN’T getting McCains endorsement) then they will have nowhere to go to find support. McCain and the RNC will get seeing the worst fundraising year in their history so money will have to go directly to individual candidates and state parties to make up the difference. And, of course, the 527s will get the money which previously went to the RNC and GOP Presidential Nominee so that conservative donors can be sure that the money is spent to support the issues they DO support.
McCains co-opting of the GOP nomination process will change the way this party operates for the next decade and probably forever. It will decentralize money, grassroots supporters and various support groups (Club For Growth, NRA, Right to Life, etc) into even more direct-to-candidate sponsors just like the liberals groups did after the 1994 debacle.
The DNC lost billions of direct contributions from the unions, queers, abortionists and racists when they proved their couldn’t win a national election and the money flowed directly into GOTV in specific races and those special interests took the remaining control over the democrat party they didn’t already have. The GOP is now set up for the same problem. The biggest difference is that the GOP has never been a party made up of ‘interest groups’ as much as people who ideologically aligned themselves in the wake of Reaganism. With a free-for-all in each race, we are more likely to become a pander-party like the whores on the Left.
And Mr. Straight Talk won’t tell you this.
My God, he's going to get Margaret Thatcher to run with him? ALRIGHT!!!!
ummmm Lindsey Graham would seal the deal for many to NOT vote McCain
If he doesn’t pick a conservative , he is cooked.

That’s who I heard had been mentioned. No concrete info, though.
Mel Martinez can never be VP. He was born in Cuba.
Frank Keating. Different guy.
Well...Condi is the opposite of McCain on abortion, I’ve read
