I think McCain has no real option other than Crist,

[Perky]

There are no viable female GOP ons for McCain,

Fiorina and Whitman are unknown and would destroy the lack of experience argument

Hutchinson and Dole are too old. Jindahl is too young

Palin is too controversial

Christine Todd Whitman would upset the base too much because he is a Rockefeller Republican and I would think pro-choice

The only name that might be viable is Geraldine Ferraro. Ha

The fundies will splinter if he picks a pro-choice Veep.

ANother old fart is not likely.

Romney would be ok but they know he is a flipflopper.

Lieberman, Rudy and Ridge are pro-choice,

Huckabee will make the fundies happy but the fiscal hawks cringe.


Portman and Pawlenty buy Him nothing,


Florida is more in play than they thought, While Crist is a lightweight.....Mccain can not win without Florida and he may be the only one available to protect the state.

1. Isn't Crist a closet gay just asking to be outed

I mean, I'm not saying the charges are true, but they are out there.

You know, "some people say"...

[Perky]

4. o=You forgot to add: "that there is anything wrong with that"

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. That would certainly liven up the GOP lovefest in MN next week

Other than that, it's going to be a boring event.

[libertad]

15. he has recently become engaged to a woman (to take care of

those rumors, i suspect).

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Yes, but he has a lot of friends. He says so every time he speaks

Surely one of them would like to be his VP.

[rurallib]

3. Does Charlie have a much older brother named Jesus?

kind of a hippie rabble-rouser?

[Perky]

6. Yeah but not even He can help the GOP this time.

[givemebackmycountry]

8. rurallib...you cracked me up...

Now, that was funny.
I don't care who ya are!

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Shhh. The repukes suspect he's an illegal, with a name like that.

[RagAss]

13. Classic !!!!

[opihimoimoi]

7. He should get Spunky Harris in there...She can get FLA with her Moxie

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Wouldn't that be something! Hadn't seen her sorry ass for awhile.

Or her new boobs

[opihimoimoi]

11. Get her on a horse...that'll bring um in...LOL

:toast:

[Perky]

14. GOP- Geriatric Old Perverts

[opihimoimoi]

17. She can turn on the Geritol Crowd....

:beer:

[Perky]

12. He could protect Florida with Jeb

but then he would lose MO, OH and Virgina by 15 points

[opihimoimoi]

16. McFused is Befuddled and Phucked....The more he speaks the more he buries himself

[Joe Bacon]

18. It will be Jeb

Thats the deal McCain made to get nominated!

[Pisces]

19. I don't think McCain/Bush is what the GOP want as a bumper sticker

[flvegan]

20. Crist will do more harm than good in Florida.

Even rethugs see him as a thus-far failure.

[markbark]

21. He could always pick Jeb

...and as old as McSame is, we could then wind up with another Bush in the White House.
:scared:

--MAB

[Stop Cornyn]

22. There is plenty of polling to suggest McCain wins Florida without Crist

[seasat]

23. Crist is too much of an intellectual light weight

With the selection of Biden, he's probably off the list now. A debate between Biden and Crist would expose Crist as a true light weight. Biden would mop up the floor with him in an embarrassing manner. In short, Charlie Crist has the intelligence of a house plant. However, I hope that McCain does pick him. He'd bring more negatives than positives to McCain's campaign. Plus it'd get Crist out of my state for while.
