McCain and ?Follow

I hear Karl Rove isn't doing anything these days. It's about time the whitehouse had a truly evil VP back in the seat. The legend of Agnew is getting long in the tooth.

Yes, followed by "punishment" for the admin that banned you.

Which means you'd pair him with... ?

I dunno, Demea. Certainly not Romney, but Huckabee doesn't necessarily bring anything to the table either. Yeah, Huck has cachet with evangelicals, but that crowd is going to go Republican anyways-- and as I said, once they look at McCain more closely, they'll see he isn't the Lefty he has been portrayed as in the past.

In fact, I'd say that the Dems will play that card exactly like I described it, because they hope to win moderates/centrists/independents and they can't afford to give those to McCain by labeling him so. That means they'll try and paint him (rightly so) as a conservative, which will only reinforce that view by the evangelicals as they examine him closer.

As for who he chooses, who ever votes for a candidate based on his VP selection? Barring some crazy choice like Louis Farrakhan or David Duke, it'll be a non-factor I believe. Hold a gun to my head and I'd say it'd be someone safe, but if he were to color a wee bit outside the lines, I'd say possibly Lieberman, just to steal the Dem's thunder (This assumes he could convince Joe to switch parties).

It would be interesting in that it would mean that aliens took control of McCain's body.

As opposed to his massive jaw?

Lieberman's recently gone on the record saying that he has no interest in being anyone's running mate again.I doubt Lieberman would flip parties either. He's largely liberal aside from his hawkish war stance and, unless hes retarded, he realizes that next year we'll probably have another 4-6 Democratic senators and flipping parties would just make him the new guy in the minority party.

I don't think so. They used to have it set up so the 2nd place candidate was the VP to the winning candidate which worked about as well as you'd expect. By the early 19th century, they dumped that idea.

I find it amusing that democrats, and the media that support them, have already appointed Mcain the nominee. I'm not surprised the media is ignoring the reality that the states Mcain won tend to go Democrat in the general election, florida being a recent exception. Essentially you have the Dems and media pushing a candidate they feel confidant against. These same people know that Huckabee, with all his flaws, stands a greater chance at defeating either Hillary Clinton or Barrack Husseion Obama.

As long as the established media and liberal political pundits continue to support Mcain he will continue to loose the support of the gop base.

Hi, Varrus!

He might be a racist,
And sometimes a fascist,
He could use a therapist,
Or we could just chuck him down the piste...

Oh Varrus,
You silly ****,
Welcome back,
Still high on crack?

He's got an okra field in his office,
And his armpits smell like ****,
And if ignorance is bliss,
Then his heart must be at peace.

Oh Varrus,
You silly ****,
Welcome back,
Still high on crack?

An insurance salesman,
Who plays B-ball like a German,
Won't you emigrate to Japan,
And start a new branch of the Ku-Klux Klan?!

Oh Varrus,
You silly ****,
Welcome back,
Still high on crack?
