Romney Pawlentry or Lieberman? Any other possible choices that haven't been mentioned?

Pawlenty only because I don't think he has been exposed to the voting public at large, unlike the other two. Romney is an also ran and Lieberman is an independent.

I'm going with Kay Bailey Hutchison...to try and snap up some of Hillary's "I'm only voting for a woman!" supporters.

Fish on...

Romney will bring in the women voters with his looks, and will help because his sucess in business. I would think it would have to be a pro lifer though.

Mitt would also help in securing Michigan too, he must attract a lot of libs in order to govern Mass.

Buckle up this is going to get crazy!!

I think Mccain needs to quit using the POW card, I was listening to him talk the other day and he brings this up when it was not even germain to the topic. We all know that he is a war hero, but enough already.

Much more effective when other people bring this up, rather than himself.

When is the last time a VP candidate helped bring a state his father was Governor of 40 years ago into the fold for a party ?

Mass, going red because of romney, I doubt it.

Romney belongs to a 'cult' as far as 35% or more of the Republican Party is concerned, so that may cut turnout, albeit primarily in states where McCain is already sporting good leads.

I never said he was going to help Mccain win Mass, I said the state of Mich.

Last I heard BO had a 5 point lead in Mich? Retract, BO has a 2 point lead as of 8-25-08 ( Rasmusens )

Dude he is in a cult.
I saw the South Park episode.

So I ask again....................

When is the last time a VP candidate helped bring a state his father was Governor of 40 years ago into the fold for a party ?

Who cares? The lead in Michigan is evaporating and this is before Romney (if Mccain chooses him) is even announced. This is a state that has a 9% unemployment rate I believe.

Any chance of Condoleezza Rice ?

I doubt Condi, she has said no, but I suppose it's possible.

Why would a state with 9% unemployment vote for a guy who wants to continue the policies that are in part responsible for that rate ?

Did you know the national unemployment rate is lower than in the Clinton years? Did you happen to see the GDP report today? 3.3 % are we in a recession?....betcha BO [censored] his pants when he saw that # today.

I doubt it, Obama is the first African American to win a major party nomination for President, and giving a speech in front of 76 000 people .

I am betting he gets a little tonight.................and isn't reading the (unadjusted) GDP rate today.
What is it, 11 of the last 12 quarters the post report revisions ( almost always made after all data is collected) have been downward revisions ?



McCain is GIVING away tickets for his 'big' rally in Ohio, and hasn't been able to fill a 10,000 seat arena..................

His wifey is African American, Obama is Mixed.....only 10k at Mccain rally? Maybe they should try giving away free ciggs to the homeless to coax them in attending...seem to work in 2000 for the dems.


I need to go fishing.

McCain't .........................

Can't fill a 10 k hall in a battelground state.................

Giving away tickets mind you, not selling them.

They should just put up "It's all Clinton's Fault!" posters...that should get at least a few thousand more whackjobs out of the woodwork.

Fish on...

They've tried that for the last 8 years, sort of worn thin at this point.

I am surprisingly in agreement with Todd on Hutchison. That selection might sway enough women voters to even cross party lines. She has won Texas Senatorial races with wide margins but has a little bit of a problem with the old Dem inspired indictment over using Senate staff and computers during a campaign.

However, my gut feeling is the election is going to hinge on the Rust Belt states and Pawlenty would be a good choice there. His margin of victory in the last election was pretty slim though and his wife has made some pretty bizarre statements that don't sit well with a lot of pro-choice women. It would help McCain with the evangelical vote and that is fairly crucial for a Republican.

Just like the last election, whoever can pile up the most crap against their opponent will be the winner. I am however revising my last prediction of an Obama victory to a win for McCain. There's too much crap on Obama for him to win outright. It will be McCain by more than you think.
