BREAKING NEWS; Gov. Crist will not be McCain's choice for VP

[1corona4u]

TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Florida Governor Charlie Crist will not be in Ohio tomorrow for Senator John McCain's announcement of his choice for running mate, WPTV Capitol Correspondent Mike Vasilinda has confirmed.

The New York Times reports that McCain “has decided on his running mate, two Republican strategists in contact with Mr. McCain’s campaign said Wednesday. He is expected to reveal his choice at 11 a.m. Friday at a rally at a basketball arena in Dayton, Ohio. Republicans close to the campaign said that the top contenders remained the same three men who have been the source of speculation for weeks: former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and, possibly, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut.”

1. He would if he was married

[UncleTomsEvilBrother]

20. As a Black Gay man....

...who's lived much of his life on the "DL," I can almost sympathize with Crist's psychotic desire to appear heterosexual in an homophobic society. What I don't understand, though, is an homoesexual like Crist who allies himself with the rightwing nuts in the Republican party.

I know that kind of self-hatred can be seen as an S&M-like fetish, but DAMN!

21. Is it the power of kink or the kink of power?

I dunno. :shrug:

[K8-EEE]

2. Does his "fiance" still get to keep the ring? n/t

[VolcanoJen]

7. I sense a "things just weren't working out between us" press release any minute now.

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

13. They'll still be good friends though but marriage is a big decision

Nothing you want to just jump in to at age 60 right before an election that you're not going to be a factor in after all. LOL!

[MiniMe]

14. I think they will give it at least a week before they announce irreconcilable differences

:rofl:

[Alter Ego]

3. It's down to Mittens or Tim Pawlenty

because as horrible a campaign as McCain has run, he's not so stupid as to choose a social liberal as VP and scare the crap out of the evangelical crowd he's worked so hard to suck up to.

[thereismore]

8. I can see the bumper stickers: McCain has P'lenty. You don't!

[Sannum]

4. Will he be at the bathhouse instead?

[Bucky]

22. It's unfair to characterize Crist--a self-identifed straight man--as gay.

What he does with his weiner is none of our business. Socially and politically he identifies as straight man. Don't sully the good name of our non-straight brothers & sisters with an unnecessary association with a Republican.

[thereismore]

5. Please choose Liebermann, please. nt

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

9. Please please please please please

[SuperTrouper]

24. No, please choose Carly Fiorina

[speedoo]

6. And Florida becomes even more winnable for Florida. nt

[Occam Bandage]

10. So, FL's in play. NIce to know.

[npincus]

11. No, he'll be watching from here:

(personal trivia: I lived over the Ramrod- the canopy was below my window- in 1981... alas, it's gone now)

[IndianaJones]

wonder how many gay jokes will show up in this thread.nt.

[rateyes]
