5. This is a fun poll. Thank you for putting it up.
If Obama picks Biden then McCain picks Tommy Franks.

If Obama picks Kaine then McCain picks Pawlenty.

If Obama picks Bayh then McCain picks Cantor.

If Obama picks Sebelius then McCain picks Cantor.

McCain will either try to induce the Rapture among GOP far-right fundies or try to scare the bejesus out of the electorate on the terra terra terra theme.

So Ridge and Lieberman, IMO are out. Ridge is Mr. Duct Tape security guy, but he's also proChoice. The fundies won't sit still for THAT.

10. O Jesus, you put Liddy Dole there... what a vomitous human being
she is.

But you're right.

The game could get very complex in a big hurry. McCain, as pathetic as he often is, could mix the game up with something like that strategy.

23. Where she walked into the crowd to tell them "about the man I love"
Then she told the sickest story I've ever heard outside Jerry Springer. Before Bob proposed to her he went down to the kitchen at 5am where Libby's mother was to ask her consent and took off his pajama top to show her his shoulder to show her "what would be marrying into her family."

Wasn't Libby like 50 when they got married?

What sort of nut thinks his wife's mother needs to inspect his scars?

Who talks about himself like he was a werewolf or something?

Just a creepy, creepy story.

It reminded me about his story about people putting out their cigarettes on his body cast on the train home from the war.

29. LOLOL! I either zoned it out when it happened or forgot it outright,
not sure which.

Thank you for the account -- and now that you mention it, I suspect that Bob probably IS a werewolf.

19. LOL
I think he'd have a hard time trying to find someone to take on Wes Clark. And Hillary for that matter. I'm really curious to see it all play out though!

30. 'Advisor' doesn't believe Barack Obama will choose a woman for VP
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-ticket17-2008aug17,0,4973874.story

That may leave mcKane with the dubious task of picking a female puke. A lot of great women are on the Dem side. The pukes have who? Snowe? Palin?


Dole? She's not even going to the Convention.

31. Snowe is prochoice
Palin is one that i think might work but she is kind of new and not tested nationally. she also has many young kids including a newborn that has down syndrome. if not for the importance of foreign policy i think she would be a good choice .

32. I think he is stuck with Romney no matter what. I also think they are ready to announce as soon as
Obama does. It should already be a done deal
