Is there anyone Gramps could pick as VP that would pose a threat?

[mwb970]

I was just plagued by a fear that McSame would make some astoundingly brilliant choice for VP that would make him impossible to beat. But then I thought, who would it be? The only name I've really heard mentioned is Mitt Romney, and I don't see how a cardboard cut-out with a wacky religion would help much.

Who might he pick? Colin Powell? I guess Condi is out. Is there anyone out there we should be worried about?

1. Personally, I hope he choses Minnesota's Tim Pawlenty. Then we

can get something done in Minnesota. It will be good to return to our progressive roots.

11. Only if you take a contract out on the next third party gov'nr candidate...n/t

2. Condi is definitely a threat

To America and Planet Earth.

She is a unique combination of arrogance, incompetence, insincerity, prevarication, and seething torturous hostility.

Spare us, O' Lord, from further Republicon homelanders and their Evil Plagues of fiscal folly, Veteran Neglect & Abuse, Nation Building Wars of Agression & Occupation, Shock & Awe visciousness, Environmental Destruction, Oil Price Hikes, General Lies about Everything, Sexual Deviancy & Hypocrisy, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum..

4. She is the one I fear most as v.p. choice for the son of Cain.

And the scary thing is that huge numbers of voters might think she is A.O.K.

9. Excellent!!!

"She is a unique combination of arrogance, incompetence, insincerity, prevarication, and seething torturous hostility."

[Rosemary2205]

10. Yep, I third Condi

a black female as Veep will screw up the minority and female vote just enough to make a D win iffy.

It will also motivate some freeps who hate McCain to show up at the polls.

3. Huckabee could be a concern

But admittedly, he may be a fundy, but at least it appears he may have some integrity. That is why I find him scary, because his affability is disarming, and people tend to overlook his zealotry because of his likable personality. He would also shore up McCain's conservative support

Romney is a joke. He would bring nothing. Condaleeza Rice would only turn away the bigots. To them, she is fine as a token peon, but they would never vote for any ticket with her on it. I can't see Colin Powell running with McCain.

5. Speaking of bigots, what about Sen Macaca, could he rise from the dead?

[SpiralHawk]

6. If Condi gets the nod, unlikely, then REPUBLICON TORTURE would be an issue

As it should be, in any event.

Four more years of Torture?

I feel most Americans would not go for that...she has been decisively outed now on her barrage of lies about torture -- and anyone paying attention knows she approved it, with malice and cowardice, along with Commander AWOL Bush & Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney.

[Hepburn]

22. I would go with Huckabee, too....

...he has some genuine charm about him. I think his ideas suck beyond all belief and that he is nuts...but I do have to admit that he can really work a crowd.

[balantz]

7. This is an important question to investigate.

I know we would like to think we have this thing in the bag, but I wouldn't be counting chickens just yet.

[mwb970]

21. That's what has me worried!

Condi issued a pretty definite "no" statement this week, but I keep thinking there's someone else people actually like (?) that he might pick.

[balantz]

23. These pieces of shit ain't dumb.

That's why they are in power and have arrested our Constitution and duped America.

They will likely pick a running mate that could possibly tip the votes in their favor.

Coupled with another "attack" or some disaster they could rake in on the remaining fear/ignorance that exists in this country.

[izquierdista]

8. Hillary

They are so close on the issues, and she would bring in the blue-collar, hard drinking, hunt on the weekends vote.

[rucky]

12. Huckabee or Newt. n/t

[stray cat]

13. Florida's current governor?

[rug]

14. Hagel.

[goclark]

15. My bet is on HC nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. how about Jeb? Look how much bigger his head is !!!

[DesertRat]

17. Jeb?

:scared:

[raebrek]

18. Al Gore n/t

[CK_John]

19. Some possibles, Lynne Cheney, J Roberts, Dick Cheney, Melinda Gates, Condi, or Bush 41. n/t

[WA98296]

20. If Jed Bush is "selected"...well, I'll leave it up to your imagination.

[TexanDem]

24. Hillary would be a threat -- not Condi. Condi was criminal too
