Poll question: Could Casey be a legit VP candidate?

[cali]

1. no, of course not

he's anti-abortion rights. He's been in the Senate for all of year. It's an absurd suggestion.

[LSparkle]

7. But didn't he used to be governor of PA?

Or maybe his dad was ... ?

[WinkyDink]

20. That would be Senior.

[SteppingRazor]

2. In my very humble opinion, no, because he doesn't pass the heartbeat-away test.

In other words (God forbid a million times) if something were to happen to a Pres. Obama, I can't imagine having a Pres. Casey.

[Alexander]

3. ...was hoping HELL NO was an option...

Do we want women to vote for us, or not?

[charlie and algernon]

4. he'll get the religious (Catholic) women vote

which is still a sizable constituency

[Alexander]

9. At the expense of the pro-choice vote.

Plus, he literally just got into the Senate.

I'm hoping we can stop with the "everyone who endorses Obama deserves to be considered for VP" threads.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Guess what: The MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE PRO CHOICE.

I guarantee you there will be two people on a ticket this year who want to institute a Federal police presence in 100 Million American Womens' Uterii, and who will enthusiastically support a constitutional amendment to outlaw the birth control pill- they are called the REPUBLICANS.

Opposition to Roe v. Wade is a deal-breaker for me, and a large number of other Democrats.

If "Catholic women" need to be in charge of anyone's sex lives and bodies, they can be in charge of their own.

[maximusveritas]

5. No. I don't think I've heard anyone mention him

He should stay right where he is.

[RamboLiberal]

6. I like Casey - but Mr. Excitement he's not

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Isn't he anti-choice?

Fuck that.

[WinkyDink]

21. 100%.

[anamandujano]

10. These threads are hysterical. Every time someone endorses Obama, he

is put up as a Veep possibility.

What about Ted Kennedy? He'd make a good choice, wouldn't he? He was first in line.

[cyndensco]

28. perhaps if hillary was getting any endorsements

ya'll might begin to think out loud who her running mate might be...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. Porto Rico's indicted Gov has raised $1 million for PA Sen Casey illegally

[anamandujano]

12. Then I'd highly recommend him.

:rofl:

[cali]

14. check out what he's raised for hilly's pal, fast eddie. n/t

[AlinPA]

13. He is a good man but the party may unenthusiastic about him because of his

lack of "charisma" that seems to be important these days.

[bagimin]

15. No

He's got to be the most boring politician in America.

[AGirl]

16. go pro lifers!

That's exciting isn't it?

[walldude]

17. I hate polls... n/t

[EndElectoral]

18. I think Richardson has the upper track.

[WinkyDink]

19. No. He would be alienating.

[MonkeyFunk]

22. It would crack me up to no end

if Obama picked him, just to watch DU turn anti-choice overnight.

[AGirl]

24. when you have hope, you don't need abortion

[MonkeyFunk]

26. Heheh

Obamdoms! They prevent pregnancy!

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Bullshit. EITHER candidate puts someone anti-choice on the ticket, it's a dealbreaker for me.

Personally, I hope Obama picks someone like Russ Feingold or Barbara Boxer, although I suspect Bill Richardson is more likely.

[TheUniverse]

25. From what I understand Bob Casey is 100 percent pro life.

Hes one of those extremists who wouldn't even allow it in the first two months. I also dint even think that he supports abortion for victims of rape. I'm just glad that I don't live in Pennsylvania because then I would have had to choose between voting for him in Rick Sanatorium.

[AllentownJake]

29. To be honest

I think we need to take one of Hillary's former surrogates to unite the Party.
