Who's McCain going to pick for Veep?

[uppityperson]

And why? Been hearing rumors of Condi (pro-bushite, black, female. con-same), Rudy, or who the hell knows. Wondering what you all think.

LIEberman.

5. Thank you, I knew there was another name being floated, couldn't remember who.

My repub source said thought Lieberman was going to be it, or else Rudy, but Rudy has too much baggage.

2. I don't see how he can choose Condi

she's too close to the current regime

3. Somebody not "as old as dirt". n/t

4. Cheney

You know he wants it. The moment he's out, he's prosecution fodder.

6. Im sitting here watching cspan - Senators Thune, Graham, Cornhole,

sounding like an audition. Maybe Lieberman, but his pro-choice stance wouldn't help, would it? Also, would he pick a senator?

8. Forget Condi, Rudy, etc. Jeb Bush is so 2012. Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota guv?

Unless he goes with his buddy Sen. Graham of SC, which is possible. Lieberman brings nothing to the ticket. Haley Barbour in Mississippi is a smooth talking snake oil salesman, but too old. So is Kay Bailey Hutchison in Texas, and she is a senator, to boot. Pawlenty is young and ran as a moderate but has revealed himself to be a true right winger. Perfect, but inexperienced. Condi? I don't see it. War, war, war. She really isn't that personally popular. Colin Powell would tell McCain to go fuck himself. Cornyn in Texas is far right enough, but another senator. I will go with Pawlenty for now, but look out for a neocon.
