So if McCain't gets in and the next 4 years has a depression, HIGHER gas prices/food prices, lower dollar value, MORE illegals and many across-the-aisle dealings with Dems for entitlements; THIS will endear the VP to the citizens? Like the Walgreens commercial-only in the perfect idiot world of 10 proof! BTW You will always have spoilers in elections and if Barr is that big of a concern then there is something definately wrong with the GOP candidate to begin with. You can use all your "simple" logic that you want but there will always be those people that are unwilling to "compromise" their principles. The lesser of 2 evils (or 3 or 4)isn't cutting it anymore. It is time for the process to take a nosedive into the ground so that it can be rebuilt better from the remains. Kinda like what is going to happen with Loudoun. Oh, didn't YOU have something to do with this fiasco and its liberal winners? “and MCCain is in position to give you 2012 due to his win and his VP’s continued career due to his stepping down.”

They were going to support McCain, and even exploit 25% of HRC's voter's who'd sooner vote McCain than for the negro. Throw in Nader's two percent draw on election day...and MCCain is in position to give you 2012 due to his win and his VP's continued career due to his stepping down. THEN some geniuses decide that they'd like to whittle MCCain's lead by a couple of points by tossing a Libertarian hand grenade. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer. By a long shot.

Why both of course! Then we can take them on a talk show tour, starting with Oprah (of course), and they (McCain especially) will look and sound more alive than they have in years. Cathymac,

Huckabee is dumber than George Bush, spends more too, and talks as well as Bill Clinton, in short he is the worst of both, just because he is an evangelical it don't mean he has earned my vote by a long shot.

Are you putting octane boost in your wine? I was thinking more along the lines of Jackie Mason. Talk about an orator that could dish it out and stir the pot. Just embalm him so that he could last 4 years. Joe,

Hillie's slogan is: "Don't f*%# with me. Remember Vince Foster?" Oh, yeh. She wants that VP slot. She NEEDS that VP slot! And after Bore-rocks suicide, Hilly will abolish the 2nd Amendment as a fine testimonial to Bore-rock's courage and hard work. I said that before. Hillie’s slogan is: “Don’t f*%# with me.

If she joins the ticket, the "change you can believe in" mantra can be exposed for the sheer hypocrisy that it is. Having HRC as the VP nominee is tantamount to having to defend she and Bill's shenanigans and manipulations over the past 18 years when what he really wants is a clean break. If Obama doesn't pick HRC he alienates a large voting block of HRC supporters, some of which have already pledged they will run to McCain even if she is on the ticket. Disunity in the party exists and and won't go away if she gets left off the ticket. Obama has to pick his poison. Welcome to politics my friend, swallowing bitter pills is part of the process. McCain's running mate is not so easy. Huckabee does nothing for me, Romney seems likes the natural choice but he leaves me with questions and concerns. I don't want Bobby Jindal going down in flames with McCain, save him for 2012. I haven't explored it very well, but what Governors (besides Crist) are good choices?
