Are we sure that today is such a good day to use “Going for seconds...” in a headline?

Oh Hell, Murdock, you should be the VP pick the way you've been loyally wearing those McCain kneepads!

Giuliani’s counterterrorism credentials are sterling

You've got to be kidding me.

Now that he has embarrassed the “experts” and naysayers by clinching the Republican nomination

Well, McCain certainly is an embarrassment.

For much of last year, Murdock was shilling for Rudy. He was claiming that Rudy’s liberal stands on guns and abortion actually helped the conservative cause.

Regardless of who McCain’s VEEP is; if he carried California or New York against Osama then we are looking at a Reagan like landslide. No Veep candidate can deliver either of those states. Just ask Duncan Hunter.

I agree with thinking out of the box for a VEEP. Hopefully McCain will not pick anyone who ran for the nomination this year. Because they were really bad candidates. How do I know? Look who got nominated.

Every time anyone says anything critical of Obama, McCain instantly apologizes. Who would anyone want to be a VP with McCain. As soon as the MSM attacked McCain’s VP, McCain would agree with the MSM and also attack him.

I don’t think I’m going too far out on a limb in predicting none of those mentioned will be the VP candidate.

No woman choices for VP, and no minority choices for VP? Either Herman Cain (despite his lack of political experience), Janice Rogers Brown (despite her lack of political experience and her age), or Sarah Palin (despite her present pregnancy and her only recently being elected Governor of Alaska) would also make decent VP choice possibilities for McCain, IMHO. My favorite white male for VP for McCain is Rep. Mike Pence, but my instinct is that McCain will eventually pick another RINO, such as either Mitt Romney or Charlie Crist, to be his final choice for VP, which will also upset the majority of conservative voters all over the U.S. for awhile.

I like it.

A good alternative might be:

“McCain-Feingold ‘08 - Just shut up already!”

It's 6 am in the morning, and a disheveled, bleary-eyed Deroy Murdock pulls himself out of bed. "Hmmm," he wonders as he pours a strong cup of coffee, "How can I leverage my knowledge of obscure mythology to impress the chicks?"

Oh wait, I know...," he shout as he whips out a pen, and starts to write...

Giuliani’s shortcomings are twofold: After his high-flying campaign plunged to Earth — as did Icarus after he soared too close to the sun, which melted his wax wings — Rudy no longer resembles the invincible political force he seemed just last November.

This guy is obviously not what is called a “social conservative.” Even mentioning Guiliani is sheer lunacy. It would confirm everything that fully 1/3 of the party thinks of McCain already - he is not truly a social conservative and will not nominate those types of judges to the bench.

As for Sanford, I like him quite a bit, but this guy goes out of his way to say he “down played” his social conservatism as if that were a good thing. Again, this guy has his own agenda.

Since everyone else is telling McCain what to do (it has worked so well in the past), I will too. My top 3 picks for him are as follows: Sanford, John Kasich and Huckabee.

I think Murdock was a Giuliani shill. I assume that’s why his 3rd choice is a guy (Cox) who has no chance whatsoever. I’m just surprised he mentioned Sanford.

He mentioned Sanford in the same way RINOs toss out the names of conservatives, i.e., it’s all for show.
