Any guesses on who McCain will pick as his VP --- ????

1. A "true" Conservative.

And nothing more. Not necessarily a woman nor a minority. He needs the conservative before he can think of gaining indys or women or minorities.

[Juche]

2. I think they are mostly lost

Seeing how McCain is anti-choice and anti birth control, and if president could eventually overturn Roe v wade he'd have a problem getting women. And blacks aren't going to vote R anyway. With Latinos, with all the racist overtones coming out of the GOP recently I think they have ruined their chances. Before Bush latinos went dem about 70-80% of hte time, under Bush it was about 55-60, now it is 70-80 again due to all the racism and hatred against immigration.

He'll probably pick a neocon though. Someone in tight with the religious right.

4. Ok -- well, cough up a name, will ya???

[tekisui]

6. Newt.

[defendandprotect]

13. Oh -- striking fear in my heart --- we haven't recovered from his days in

Congress yet !!!

What a despicable human being he is!!!

And, if you recall --- how effective he was!!!

He wanted to run for prez for a while this cycle ---

[tekisui]

14. I think he is running.

He has come out with a new stance on global warming. Guess what? It's real and caused by humans.

Newt is shamelss and will play attack dog for a man he knows is stricken with questionable age and health. McLame needs him. I hope he picks someone else, though.

16. Newt is an attack dog ... he really upsets me . .. I watched him a long time in Congress/C-span . .

He's very much a dishonest man who does it well ---

Creepy!!

3. if its rob portman im going to spew...

[Swamp Rat]

5. Lieberman

[AlCzervik]

7. No way imo will it be Lieberman, my money is only Mark Sanford (ick) or the bloated

carcass of Haley Barbour (double ick).

[Mojambo]

8. Tim Pawlenty. n/t

[Preston120]

9. I Don't Care- I'm Not Voting For McCain -period!

[flvegan]

10. I'm still thinking FL Gov Crist.

Or Satan.

[tekisui]

12. He is rumored to be gay.

I doubt McLame would chose him. He needs to secure his conservative base first and foremost, Crist won't do it.

[hendo]

11. With all of her support for McCain, I wouldnt be surprised if its HRC n/t.

[Cresent City Kid]

15. I'm guessing Huckabee

[dflprincess]

17. Jeb Bush -

it's why they let McCain get this far. :tinfoilhat:

[defendandprotect]

18. Gasp . .. . !!!!

[sam sarrha]

21. i believe it... Dynasty.. McLame has a stroke his second day in office.. Bu$h44

[defendandprotect]

24. Funny . . .

:scared:

[Jack Rabbit]

19. A loser

That's all they have in the GOP nowadays.

[MiniMe]

20. I can't remember, is LIEberman pro or anti choice?

McSame can't afford to have a pro-choice running mate.

[DeeDeeNY]

22. Rachel Ray

:sarcasm:

[T Monk]

23. somebody corrupt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

25. I'm going to vote Lieberman

The close bond that he and McCain seem to have formed over the occupation of Iraq, their shared ambitions of attacking Iran, Lieberman's attacks on Obama, and, most importantly, Lieberman's consideration of giving the keynote address at the GOP convention a la 2004 Zell Miller makes it pretty clear, at least to me, that he is angling for the job. Plus, they are both considered (by people who don't know either of them that well) to be "independent" which McCain might use to his advantage in courting moderates. That being said, however, the Republican party in general might be even more suspicious of McCain putting a former Democrat (VP candidate no less) on the ticket and McCain, not wanting to "ruffle feathers" with the all-important conservative base would probably end up deciding against it. However, they both seem to be "kindred spirits" these days, most notably on keeping the fires burning in the middle east.

[Perry Logan]

26. Jeb Bush. They're hoping McCain will die in office, and we'll be back in the neocon cesspool.
