Sources close to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip. The name of McCain's running mate has not been disclosed, but Mitt Romney has led the speculation recently.

My 14 year old knows it'll be Romney

[Faygo Kid]

14. Yeah, it will be Romney. No core values; neocons approve of him.

He can raise money, and they fantasize winning Michigan. Most importantly, he will do the neocons' bidding right down the line, because if that's what it takes, that's what he'll give.

[stevedeshazer]

1. It's gotta be Huckleberry Graham

That's my bet.

[blonndee]

2. Couldn't take all the attention the O-man has been getting, maybe?

I'll be SO glad if this is true, though. Let him go first.

[polichick]

3. Guess that's all he's got...

I thought he was holding that AWESOME CARD to steal our convention headlines. LOL

[tekisui]

4. Mittens return.

He's always good for a gaffe.

The Old Shit and Mitt.

[tekisui]

5. The Old Poot and the Empty Suit!

[davidpdx]

19. That's funny

You might want to copyright it before someone else steals it.

[Alexander]

6. My guess is Huckabee...

He needs the evangelicals and the South.

[writes3000]

8. Didn't Huckabee just take a job with Fox?

I took that as a sign that he was out of the running.

[tekisui]

9. Nah. The husters on fox.

He does need to shore up his conservative base, but I don't think he'll try hucklebee.

I put my money on mittens or......newt!

[democrattotheend]

11. Huckabee would be a mixed bag

I would never in a zillion years vote for Huckabee but I kind of respect him as a person. Ironically, that's how I used to feel about McCain too. Huckabee could be an appealing choice who helps McSame sure up the base. On the other hand, given his previous statements cautioning against xenophobic attacks against Obama, he's probably not the best hatchet-man for McCain. And because McCain has an "above the fray" image to maintain (deserved or not), he really needs a VP willing to do the dirty work. So does Obama, for the same reasons.

[AlinPA]

16. I hope he picks that asshole. It will be a laugher with his creationist preaching

and the rest of his bigoted agenda.

[DJ13]

7. His VP needs to be younger and full of energy

Is Jesus available?

[El Supremo]

10. I bet he picks Jesse Helms not knowing that he died.

[tekisui]

12. lol.

That's the ticket. Helms' corpse is the only one who could make McCain seem alive and fresh!

[Arugula Latte]

13. Please let it be Wilford Brimley ... Please let it be Wilford Brimley.

*Crosses fingers*

[monomach]

30. If it is, we can count on DIABEETUS being defeated once and for all. nt

[Median Democrat]

15. It Will Be Sarah Palin - Former Beauty Queen and Alaska Governor

I think she fits Susan Estrich's description of an "Ann." Does make you wonder why they look so similar. Coincidence?

<>

[AlinPA]

17. I agree. That is his best choice. She has 5 kids with unconventional names,

and that will keep the MSM busy going with her family story 24 x 7.

[Yupster]

26. I agree she would be a smart pick

Which means she has no chance.

[PassingFair]

23. I hope not.

Everything I've read about her indicates that
EVERYONE loves her. Even Alaska's democrats.

[Median Democrat]

33. Indiana Loved Dan Quayle

She strikes me as a Dan Quayle type of pick.

[tkmorris]

27. Isn't she embroiled in a scandal right now up there?

Someone posted about it yesterday I think. Something about firing the police commissioner or something. I should go find that.

[saltpoint]

29. Not certain, but I think Gov Palin just had a baby in April (?) diagnosed

with Down Syndrome.

It seems somehow unlikely that she would accept a national role so soon after that birth.

[AlinPA]

36. I would not be suprised if the R's would use that fact for some sort of "sympathy" vote.

Karl Rove is certainly running things .

[saltpoint]

38. Hi, AlinPA. Yeah, it could happen. Once Rovians get control of the

switchboard, who knows what will happen.

[Imagevision]

18. McCain must announce some damn thing , he's barely swimming in this

[my3boyz]

20. I hope he does it now instead of after our convention. I don't want him to

step on Obama's bounce after the convention.

[Alcibiades]

21. I would like McCain to pick first

If he picks someone who actually has a shot of picking up a blue state for him, we can pick someone who can pick up a red state or two from him.

[ShaneGR]

22. I hope it is this week, and I hope it is Rudy... please let it be Rudy...

I want to see the conservative base turn out for a pro-choicer.... not gonna happen, lol.

[snowbear]

24. You're right Shane.. it ain't gonna happen..

McSame and his druggie wife went to church (after calling the MSM and telling them to bring the cameras) for the first time in their lives last week.

Selecting Rudy wouldn't be good for "PANDERING PURPOSES" ....

[thewiseguy]

25. Novak was also breaking that Powell would endorse Obama

[IndianaGreen]

28. Do I detect panic in McCain's campaign?

CW was that McCain was going to announce his VP the day after Obama's acceptance speech. If he announces this week, that means that Obama's trip has really put McCain in a tight spot.

[vaberella]

31. What if he shocks everyone and goes Ron Paul? My guess is Lieberman, that man is like McCain's wife

[Doctor_J]

32. Short list: Armstrong Williams, Shelby Steele, "Uncle" Tom Sowell,

Ken Blackwell (to make OH red), and Alan Keyes.

[Douglas Carpenter]

34. Rasmussen Markets is bidding a 37% possibility that Romney will be the V.P. nominee

They put Pawlentry at 16% and Huckabee at 8.2%

everyone else are in low single digits

[anonymous171]

35. Huckabee would be a great pick. imho

For democrats anyways. :rofl:

[AlinPA]

40. McCain could make the announcement from the Creationism "Museum" in Kentucky. nt

[Vinca]

37. It's his only hope if he wants to capture any air time away from

the Obama trip. I'm sure he was waiting for Obama to announce first because that might help him pick his VP, but now he's pretty much screwed. No one wants to hear him. No one wants to look at him. His only hope is picking his VP and that won't last long either. The European crowds for Obama will be the story, then Obama will come back and erase McBush from the screen with his own VP pick.

[RNdaSilva]

39. And the answer is...
