If McCain has to replace AIP-alin, has he burned his bridges to nowhere with legitimate veeps?

[Arugula Latte]

I can't see someone like Pawlenty stepping in to save McCain's pasty old butt now, can you?

Who would he turn to? The fundy nuts would FREAK if he put someone in there like Joementum.

I think he's royally screwed, no matter what he does.

1. McCain-Palin have crossed the point of no return.

Nothing can stop a trainwreck once it has started.

2. Is Admiral Stockdale still around?

5. LOL!!!!! Died in 2005 but still a better bet!!!

Quotes in wikipedia:

# "The worst thing that can happen is death, and that's not the worst thing in the world either."
# In a personal letter to Morse: "Do the right thing even if it means dying like a dog when no one's there to see you do it."
# "The test of character is not 'hanging in' when you expect light at the end of the tunnel, but performance of duty, and persistence of example when you know no light is coming."
# "In order to do something you must be something."
# "A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear."
# "I never had a single conversation about politics with Ross Perot in my life; still haven't."

14. Stockdale would turn it down anyway

Might get Dana Carvey to play him, tho.

8. haha

In addition to Romney and Pawlenty being pissed, weren't there even reports that the Huckster was mad as well, because he was not vetted at ALL. And those poor people who had to humiliate themselves at McCain's fake "VP audition BBQ".

15. Wasn't there a post about 9iu11iani being pissed too?

"I was mayor and I look good in a dress". I'm sure Smithers Lieberman is still available but there was a reason why that was quashed to begin with.

I swear this is getting to be almost hyponotic. It's like every time you his "refresh", another turd has hit the fan!:rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin:

9. Somebody would always jump on board

But at this point anybody legit would have to turn it down. Pawlenty and Mitt were strung along, if they have any ounce of self-respect they'd be too pissed to take it. Lieberman is just goofy enough to take it.

He can't get rid of her. It would make him look weaker than he would if he kept her. It would have to get much worse than it has so far anyway. I think if anything, the secessionist party would do it. Republicans harp so much on patriotism that that could be a killer.

11. I think Butt-Kisser Traitor Joe WOULD jump at the chance, but

the fundy wing would revolt.

Oh, man, wouldn't THAT be something to see!

"Whaaaaa?! He picked that Jeeew Boy?!"

10. Lindsey Graham? n/t

13. But there's the Gay Thing with him.

They've had one veep pick blow up in their face. I'm sure they wouldn't take the chance on picking a closet case.
