If McCain picks "Global Warming!" Crist, "Take my picture!" Graham or "Every 12 yr olds needs that vaccination" Perry, THEN what???? THEN WHAT?
I heard a Black University of Ohio student this morning said Obama was his first choice.....and if Obama doesn't win, he'll vote McCain for his "stance on Iraq".
I heard another Univ of Ohio student say "Bush had a great social security plan and they wouldn't let him put it in place...I'm voting McCain"
IS there hope? DARE I get excited? naaa...it COULD be Crist, Graham or Perry. Please, no.
Who's your pick, folks?

I hope McCain tries to make peace with the conservatives he has shown such disdain for by picking a good, solid conservative. (**Particularly considering his age and frail appearance.**)
But you're right, we'll probably wind up with Grahamnasty in the VP slot.
MICHAEL STEELE. I have decided!!!
Alert McCain!
I am vastly underimpressed by any of the prima donnas dancing around!
Alan Keyes...

Well, there's a rocket scientist. For sure. For sure.
Michael Steele is well respected here in the D.C. area.
Hi All,
I like Michael Steele also, but think he doesn't have national name recognition, and I can hear the cries of "tokenism" now, can't you? Of course there'll be cries of something no matter what.
I even thought of Steve Forbes who has run for President, and would shore up McCain's economic bonafides.
I think McCain perhaps should avoid picking a Senator since he's one himself.
There is still Mitt Romney, who would certainly be an acceptable choice.
Finally there's Condi who unfortunately is not a political type, but she is qualified and would balance the ticket. I don't think she'd do it though.

I think Michael Steele could gear up into better name recognition....he's on TV quite a bit now, but you're right 'tokenism' will be used against them. But,not for long...he's got tremendous class, has NO problem calling things for what they are, and everybody'd get over it after the original TOKENISM HOOPLA!
Having said that: Pris..you're right. If Romney is the VP nominee.........that's it. We win. I really do feel that way. Especially now with the media scaring everybody with the big economy woes. I've heard MANY people say "we could use a businessman like Romney now"..even a liberal girlfriend said that last night at dinner. I almost fell off my chair.
Listen carefully, RNC: the commenters at geeeeZ! have some good ideas (thanks, people!) and we're FREE!! HAAA!!
Texas Senator John Cornyn.
(Watch every Dem's heads explode - "b-b-but we thought you told Cornyn to go f*ck himself on the immigration bill....")
By the poll numbers:
Ohio is only in play if Hillary gets the nomination. If Obama gets the nomination, Ohio belongs to McCain.
New Jersey is a battleground with Hillary, if Obama gets the nod, NJ is also McCain country.
Basically with Obama as the nominee, McCain has all of the 2004 red states plus New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Washington and Oregon as good possibilities.
Democrats are basically trying to decide how large of a loss margin they want.
Now you're scaring me..I figured Hillary would be easier to beat. Holy cow. Did all those Republicans who voted for Hillary today make a big mistake, in your opinion? Say it ain't so.
I heard tonight that these primaries in Ohio and TX brought out TONS more older people than usual though the Dems had expected the young to come out in droves instead. AND, the oldsters voted for HIllary. Well, that COULD have been mature older Republicans who, like me, think HIllary'd be easier to beat.
I don't know much about Cornyn...YOU like him, mr. B?
Excuse me? A black university student is an Obama supporter who will vote for McCain if Hillary wins the nomination 'for his stance on IRAQ???' Ummmm, why would he be an Obama supporter AT ALL other than 'race', if he thinks McCain's stance on the war is the better 'national security' stance? THAT should be the thing that is concerning MOST Americans today.
The entire MOVE to pressure people into believing that if they DON'T vote for Obama, they are racists.
On another blog they posted some comments from the Daily Kos...ALL of them were making the case that if there are X number of white Democrats who won't vote for Obama...'just imagine' the trouble he'll have in a 'general election..' You ALL know what THAT is intimating...
For Obama and preferring McCain on the war...HOW could anyone in their right MIND put a vote for RACE OVER the vote for SECURITY?
Whatever.
I live here in OHIO and I can tell you straight up that I knew Hillary would win because the DEMS here are RACISTS generally speaking. Not the overt, hooded type, but the ones who whisper things like, "don't go into downtown Dayton after dark...it's 'dark country' and dangerous"...type.
ugh
My vote? Kay Baily Hutchison, Condi Rice, JC Watts, or whatshisname from Mississippi...

Alan Keyes??? Don't get me wrong. I voted for Keyes in the 2000 primary, AND I am listed on his website as a 'member'...I've listened in on his weekly conference calls--a great idea for giving first hand access to supporters regularly...However, I just got an email from his campaign today saying he's still running??? He was supposed to 'make his stand' in TX..apparently he didn't make a dent since it wasn't even reported that he was running. AND, they were STILL asking for money!
News flash to Keyes! The race is over...duh. He's run for alot of offices and doesn't win...EVER. Not because he's black, but because he is TOO religion oriented to the degree of even turning off Christians from different denominations etc. So, no, I don't think Alan Keyes would ADD to the ticket but would frighten people away like the independents and moderates currently backing McCain.

Romney suffered FROM evangelists advocating that his religion was a cult. That was not the secular or LESS Christian portion of the party, it was PRECISELY that Christian conservative crowd...if McCain wants to draw in Christian conservatives, I think Romney would be a bad choice.
If he wants to bet on getting most moderates, independents, some moderate Dems, and not worry about getting the 'extremist' conservative right, then I think Romney is a good pick. Of course, I have said all along he should ignore that group and secure and continue to grow the independents and the moderates. But I think he is hearing from 'conservatives' on who to pick, and I don't think it will be Romney they suggest.

As an Arizona conservative (not a religious one) living along the southern border, and daily affected by our open borders policy, I cannot bring myself to vote for McCain, no matter who he chooses for VP.
McCain, Clinton, Obama; all 3 will try and ram amnesty down our throats. I say let the Dems go down in history as those responsible for pushing such a horrendous mistake. My only hope is that with a Dem in the WH, more Republican Senators will grow a spine. I doubt they will with McCain in residence.
Anonymous..think SUPREME COURT. There are other issues, right?
I agree about the borders..we are COOKED, and I WILL NEVER understand how PC got the better of patriotism, but I have to give a great grades to Marxism, it SURE has worked beautifully in this country which ostensibly professes Democracy. Funny, we're pushing it elsewhere and we're changing into Socialist lite here.
Z,
John Cornyn is impeccably conservative, and young to boot.
Mickey should choose Cynthia McKinney or Al Sharpton, if only for the shock value. Next in line might be Gloria Steinem, or Eve Ensler.
We Pubs just must start thinking–––and acting––––outside the box.
Either wreak a little havoc, or quickly assume room temperature.

Free Thinker..you've gone over the line!! I like it, though...love shock value!
