Political chess: If the O-man had picked Hillary, would McMyFriends still have picked Medusa?

[ruggerson]

I say no.

1. McCain chose Hillary as his running mate.She said no, so he had to get another one."Only we'll make

this one younger and dumber" Like wife like VP

[kerry-is-my-prez]

2. No way....

[DesertFlower]

3. no. nt

[quakerboy]

4. No.

not a chance.

[scheming daemons]

5. No.... he would've chosen someone competent.... which would've been bad for us....

[Retrograde]

6. NFW (n/t)

[KathieG]

7. nope

[TheKentuckian]

9. Of course not

Hilary would mobilize they're mouth-breathing base and he'd probably go with Ridge or perhaps Mitt.

If it was Bayh then I see him going with Huckabee or Mitt.

Kaine may have drawn Lieberman, Pawlenty, or Portman.

The entire selection process was a lame exercise in counter-programming.

McCain is all about the gimmicks. All gimmicks all the time.

8. It would have been Jindal

I was watching Newt on Daily and he said
he suggested Jindal, and Palin for their ummm "freshness" to the party

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. Of course not, it was the "if he doesn't pick Hillary" pick. But since Hillary

was not likely to be the VP pick anyway you'd think they would have thoroughly vetted her from the beginning as a likely choice instead of scrambling around at the last minute after the DNC.

[enigmatic]

11. No way

It would have been Huckabee...
