Who Will McCain Select As His VP? The Winner Might Be...

George W. McCain

Now let me explain my rationale. John McBush "the maverick" is basically on the record "agreeing with the Bush Administrations handling of Foreign Policy", you cannot underestimate the effect this will have this November.

It means George McBush has basically single handedly written off diplomacy, talking not only to leaders "we like" but those "we dont like" (where diplomatic skills are really put to the test, hint hint).

I have no doubt McSame is going to become a real hero, thats how he will be remembered after the democratic nominee has finished him off. Tying yourself to Bush is nothing short of suicidal.

His domestic policies have no legs to stand on, he has not taken a different position than John Bush on any single issue and is actually a lot more dangerous than Mr. 27% because having been able to see the disastrous administration that would precede him and coming out in its support its not only reckless and irresponsible, it borders on the criminal side.

Well now that we know who McCains VP selection is I will leave you with a time compressed version of how his, McCains "Friends", Describe What A McCain Presidency Would Be Like

  •  Dole/Kemp

    Remember Jack Kemp? Bob "Viagra" did for Kemp what McBush will do for his running mate. Render him/her obscure and meaningless for any public debate after their loss!

  was left off the list.

  •  Lieberman, Condi, Cheney in that order

    Lieberman: Boosts McCain's "maverick" image by selecting an "independent" as a running mate

    Condi: Helps with women and minority voters

    Cheney: Hell, I'd be too scared not to ask him, too!

  •  Liebermann -My first thought

    I wouldn't bet on it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised, either.

    •  Well, if that would win CT for him,

      it could make the difference in a close election.

      •  You know

        "Lieber" apparently means "dear" in German.  I find that almost touching... by which I mean silly. :)

      •  But would it lose Mississippi?

        I can't imagine southern republicans voting for a Jewish guy. They're happy to use him, but they won't actually vote for him, in my view.

      McCain would suffer greatly, imagine all the statements that would come back to bite Liebermann in the arse.

  •  Secret DNA experiments

    in Cheney's bunker (the same chamber where his hearts are assembled)

    Have led to a cloned merger of Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham.

    This new version will be unveiled at the Republican Convention.

    Trent Lott had this to say from his porch "It sure is a new breed out there these days".

•  Unfortunately,

  George W. Bush is constitutionally forbidden from becoming the VP. Do you think we should tell McCain that, before he tries selecting him for VP?

      I was going to say something about an election stopping him. But he already got around that once, huh?

      by Yirmiyahu on Mon May 19, 2008 at 07:26:40 PM PDT

      •  Once? Got Around it Twice: 2000 & 2004 (n/t)

        by pfeffermuse on Mon May 19, 2008 at 07:34:42 PM PDT

        •  nope... the worst part about 2004

          was that a majority of voters actually elected him.

•  Very deceptive headline

  You should change it.

  This is not the Drudge Report; we are Daily Kos.

  There is way too much of this nonsense going on by people who are trying to trick people into reading their diaries, and it should stop.

•  If McCain is a smart guy and thinks more about

  the future of his party, he would nominate either Jindal, governor of Louisiana, or Crist, governor Florida.

  Since McCain is probably going to lose, positioning his party in the middle with these two governors and giving them national recognition, would a smart move on his part.

  However, i think he is going to go with either Romney or Pawlenty. The first would make him very competitive in Nevada by bringing the Mormon vote on the eastern part of Nevada. The second would probably bring with him Minnesota.

  •  I don't think it brings McSame MN

    MN is polling very well for Obama (51-38 I think).  

    It would help Normy 'bush boy' Coleman though if the state had more exposure nationally.  We disparately need to get rid of Norm.  

    by NorthlandLiberal on Mon May 19, 2008 at 07:38:47 PM PDT

    •  If McCain pick as his VP Pawlenty, that state

      will most likely go republican.

  The name gets mentioned a lot around this state, is he legitimate?
  I hope he doesn't get chosen; a VP candidate from MN may help Norm Coleman get more exposure.

•  losers all

  lieberman destroys the base
  jindal makes pissed hillary voters flee with his insane anti abortion record (oh, and passes on the bush/mccain loser stink onto your next generation of R's)
  condi doesn't draw blacks, alienates racists and sexists, and clings to bush.
  romney over huck alienates the base.
  if it's huck, his sermons are fair game.
  pawlenty's not even gonna deliver his own state.

  he is, as always, hamstrung between sucking up to the 27% dead enders and trying to expand the party.

•  My guess is Meg Whitman

  former CEO of e-bay.  She stepped down this past March and is one of his biggest fundraisers.  Has political ambitions.  Is worth $1.4B.  Brings in alienated women voters.  Strengthens him to voters worried about  the economy since she has stellar business experience.  He'll think he doesn't need someone with political experience given how long he's been around.
