Veepstakes: It's Getting Insane

My hope is it is NOT Romney or Lieberman. Palin would be great. Don't know anything about the two from Ohio. Think he chose Ohio for his announcement because it is a battle ground state.

McCain 2008 with whoever he chooses

I really do not know much about Portman, and very little about Kasich. Can any one shed some light on this please? I just read a few things about both but nothing that pops out at me.
Dave-thank you for adding these two-is there anyone else it could be? Anybody?
I can't wait to find out!
Go MCCain!

I think a woman would be outstanding but obviously McCain has sooooooooooo much experience in this arena that I am not worried-just so excited and I just can't wait to find out who it is.
McCain we are waiting HURRY HURRY HURRY!
YIPPIE!!! Happy Birthday too McCain!

Sarah Palin VP pick for McCain.

I love you John McCain!

Palin? McCain is 72. Palin has been governor for 1 1/2 years. Ready to be commander in chief? Hardly. Is this the worst possible pick or am I missing something? Could we start over? No one is excited about McCain. Now this.

it is how they operate...and my suggestion is they beat him to saying Lieberman at the last second in front of a mic...

Lieberman may have reached who they wanted...

now they are seeking a shrinking base...

i wonder if it were his choice or they bigfooted him in the media before he could speak for himself...

and by they...i mean the current administration

and pandering is all they have...

PUMA are Rove employees anyway...they are pandering to their own base to win Democrats?

there are more issues concerning women than being a woman...how will she pan out when they look into her stances on issues?

Alaska Gov. And Longshot McCain VP Praises Obama's Energy Plan

Sam Stein stein@huffingtonpost.com | HuffPost Reporting From DC August 5, 2008 09:33 AM

The Obama campaign is trotting out a gubernatorial endorsement for his energy policy today... from Republican Alaska Governor and long-shot VP candidate Sarah Palin. An aide to the presumptive Democratic nominee sent over a link to a Palin press release Tuesday morning in which the governor praised Obama for, among other things, calling for the completion of the Alaska natural gas pipeline and proposing $1,000 rebates for families struggling with energy costs.

"We in Alaska feel that crunch and are taking steps to address it right here at home," Palin's press release read. "This is a tool that must be on the table to buy us time until our long-term energy plans can be put into place. We have already enjoyed the support of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, and it is gratifying to see Senator Obama get on board."
(Stevens and Obama in one press release!)

Palin did take exception to other aspects of Obama's energy proposals, specifically a windfall profits tax on oil. And on Tuesday morning, the Republican National Committee shot around a series of newspaper headlines focused primarily on Obama's "shift" on tapping oil reserves. The articles themselves were more complimentary than the RNC's email headline -- "Does Obama's energy message need another tune-up?" -- suggested.

But for Palin to offer up praise is, within the context of the general election, of some significance. For starters, the governor is occasionally hinted at as a possible vice president (most prominently by conservative columnist Bill Kristol). In addition, unlike Democratic candidates past, Obama actually plans to compete in Alaska. A nod from the state's governor could prove a long-term benefit.

Legally Blonde meets Northern Exposure....

she's a loving mother who shoots wolves from an airplane.
she's already under investigation for pulling a similar shenanigan in alaska as bush pulled with our judiciary.
she's bush in a dress paraphrasing obama's speech about change as her own.
however the change america is demanding is what she and mccain epitomize.

This is WOMAN PANDERING at its worse!
Men who don't UNDERSTAND women make these kinds of moves in desperation...
This just shows he really DOESN'T GET IT!
Women are not that desperate and are certainly NOT STUPID!
Palin, seems like a nice person, but SECOND IN CHARGE or ourt NATION?
Are you kidding me?
She has an infant, and a physically challenged one at that--She doesn't need to be on the campaign trail and trying to run the country right now...No disrespect to working women and mothers.

LOOK'S LIKE McCAIN'S GOT THE WHITE HOUSE,OH IM SORRY OBAMA,YOU FORGOT TO PICK HILLARY AS YOUR RUNNING MATE,BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.

OBAMA INSULTED HILLARY AND ALL AMERICAN WOMEN! McCAIN IS A REAL MAVERICK!

WHY DID WE ALLOW PELOSI INTO OUR WHITE HOUSE? IN 2004 SHE PROMISED TO UNITE AMERICA. SHE AND HER BIG-WIG DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE CAUSED US FURTHER DIVIDE. WE NEED TO REPLACE ALL DO-NOTHING DEMS IN CONGRESS.

Just remember, Hillary helped Obama get his Senate seat — then he stabbed her in the back. Now the DNC is forcing Hillary and Bill to support him until November. Will they pay off her campaign debt then?

THE BIASED MAINSTREAM “OBAMA” MEDIA IS AT IT AGAIN. AMERICA HAS A QUALIFIED WOMAN RUNNING FOR VP AND MSNBC TALKS ABOUT HOW MANY HOMES SHE OWNS??? OBAMA, THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA WILL DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.

NOW WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE RUNNING WHO LOVE AMERICA — McCAIN AND PALIN!

GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN IS A GREAT CHOICE FOR ALL AMERICANS! She has lots of experience on many issues and truly cares about America. SHE HAS ACTUALLY “GOVERNED” --- OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING BUT RUN FOR OFFICE, TELL LIES AND MAKE PROMISES.
Regarding Obama’s acceptance speech — Tucker Bounds:

“Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama.

When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain:

Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm’s way.

The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President.”

WE DON’T NEED A PRESIDENT IN TRAINING!

I’M VOTING FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN McCAIN IN NOVEMBER!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

This is a bad decision--bad beyond comprehension. The only 'Mom' votes this one gets are waiting for a tennis court at the country club.

I am shocked the GOP establishment is just bowing down to McCain's choice, this Sarah Palin. She has been governor for less than two years, has zilch foreign policy experience (how will that play out with the neocons in the party?). McCain is 72 years old today, has has recurring skin cancer, and this woman is a heartbeat away from the presidency??!! Also, she has a four month old infant with a handicap - and has at least one other very young child. How will that play with the more traditional "family values" Republicans in the party? A VP is expected to travel constantly...and has numerous engagements. To think all Republicans are going to like this pick is wishful thinking.

DON'T FORGET OBAMA'S BOOKS:

Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From Dreams of My Father : “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”

From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

From “Dreams of My Father”: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

From “Audacity of Hope”: “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”

You can't change a tiger's stripes. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES --- HE HAS TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS AND ANTI-AMERICANS.

WE CANNOT IGNORE THIS MAN’S “PAST HISTORY”.

Obama picked Biden because he lacks confidence in his own 'lack of experience'. However, Biden is not going to be the “President”. Obama lied to his constituents and said he was an agent of change, yet, he chose Biden, the STATUS QUO.

WE ARE VOTING FOR AN "EXPERIENCED" PRESIDENT --- NOT VICE-PRESIDENT!

McCAIN HAS PROVEN EXPERIENCE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. HE IS A MAVERICK AND NOT MORE OF THE SAME. McCAIN'S CHOICE FOR A RUNNING MATE IS BEST --- SARAH PALIN OFFERS "POLITICAL EXPERIENCE" AND CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. SHE HAS A RECORD TO PROVE IT.

McCAIN-PALIN IN 2008.

Obama was a "Community Organizer" (whatever that is --- guess Bomber William Ayers knows), to spending 142 days as a Senator. He spent the rest of his Senate time running for President and stabbing Hillary in the back. Now that she is forced to help him, will he pay off her debt?

He has a 142 days of experience and cannot remember how many states we have. Actually there are 50 --- not 57.

OBAMA "HOPES" WE WON'T NOTICE HOW OFTEN HE "CHANGES" HIS MIND!

WHY WAS OBAMA SO INTERESTED IN HOW MANY HOMES McCAIN OWNS?

OBAMA AND McCAIN ARE BOTH MULTI-MILLIONNAIRES! WHO CARES!

IS OBAMA WORRIED THAT McCAIN MAY HAVE HOMES IN ALL OF OBAMA'S 57 STATES? IS OBAMA JUST STUPID OR WHAT?

THEY BOTH HAVE EXPERIENCED "THE AMERICAN DREAM". McCAIN IS ALSO AN INVESTOR. PORTFOLIOS CHANGE DAILY. APPARENTLY OBAMA HAS NO BUSINESS SENSE.

OBAMA KEEPS SCREWING UP --- WE DON'T NEED AN EXPERIENCED "VICE PRESIDENT".

WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED, QUALIFIED "PRESIDENT" --- THE HONORABLE JOHN McCAIN IN 2008!

The Perfect Stranger...

This is an article by Krauthammer – it is a great read. It begins, “Barack Obama is an immensely talented man whose talents have been largely devoted to crafting, and chronicling, his own life. Not things. Not ideas. Not institutions. But himself.
For the rest of the article…
