Oh, and Palin, aside from being MILFtastic, is actually pretty cool politically. If she and McCain get elected, I can envision myself sending packages of unfiltered Camels and bacon and butter to the President every week. No, wait, that's just wrong. Might be good for the country, though. Yeah, Tam, you know better than that.

Because fumbling a grenade and blowing oneself up is so much more heroic than surviving torture in a prison camp. /snark

[Cleland is] really unlikely, but he’d kick McCain’s war hero cred right out from under him.

Right.

He’s really unlikely, but he’d kick McCain’s war hero cred right out from under him.

Just on the off chance that she is picked you all will say "oh, that JR sure did pick it" Obama's VP? who cares? Kay Baily Hutchison for McCain’s VP. Just on the off chance that she is picked you all will say “oh, that JR sure did pick it”

Obama’s VP? who cares?

Biden didn't really remove himself from the running. He added a correction, which doesn't make any sense at all, but in essence Biden is still in. 2. I'm not voting for either McCain or Obama. I'm a conservative and frankly I can't hold my nose tight enough to vote for McCain. If the GOP wants my vote, and my money, they'll promote conservative Republicans. Otherwise to hell with them. Hmmmm.

Every time I tell him that Newt Gingrich(sp?) is the worst possible candidate, hubby shudders. Sarah Palin would be a good choice, and therefore is probably not on McCain's list (sigh).

He's another really, really old dude and a Senator with no executive experience. And let's face it - if he crosses party lines he'll be seen as a traitor and no one wants a traitor on their side, even if he crossed party lines for idealistic reasons. Thankfully Huckabee doesn't even seem to have made the short list. Palin would be a heckuva pick. Lieberman is a mind-boggling choice even for the short list.

He's off the table because of his ring kissing HRC. I could be wrong. Supposedly, Obama is going with a male Veep, because someone slipped off message and didn't go gender neutral in a response. That kind of shitty journalism reeks of Sovietology. The only thing that's got me voting for Obama right now is that we moved to VA* and it would be two votes to make obvious the reality that the Old Dominion isn't a red state given anymore. Otherwise, he's vaporware. My third party choices on the VA ballot are the usual assortment of nuts and irrelevancies. On McCain's side, it would be refreshing if he came out with someone like Chuck Hagel (I know it's impossible), but it will most likely be some authoritarian and/or JesusWarrior prick to please the authoritarian and/or JesusWarrior crowd. It could be Eric Cantor. He's a little Rudy Giuliani clone if there ever was one and he's got the Israel thing going to. And he's a prick. Check. Check. Check. *I am so looking forward to sending that drooling idiot Virgil Goode home to Rocky Mount from Washington. One of my favorite scenes from 04 was that bastard calling John Kerry a flip-flopper. Cripes. Anyhow, thanks for the link.
