Despite the Dems and the allied main stream media
’s desperation to see Romney as McCain’s Veep, Mitt is clearly out, with (1) Obama doubling down on the class warfare theme (McCain’s 7 houses) and (2) McCain doubling down with ads showing the hypocrisy of Biden attacking Obama in the primaries — Romney did way more than that contra McCain.
This leaves only Govs Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty. Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty
’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..
And if there
’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com
Team McCain, well done!!!
Good going on the non-ascii character set there, Ted.
I so love the drivebys who don't even freaking preview the crap they drop.
They look so stupid.
Sarah Palin. heh.
I am sure McCain would like to avoid the old racket known as the Alaskan Republican Party, especially now that they are being prosecuted. An empty suit like Pawlenty will work nicely, and even Joe Biden, wrong on almost every major issue he ever encountered, will slice and dice for the people who care about vice presidential debates(all 14 of you).
If it's Pawlenty then start with the bridge collapse and move out from there. He vetoed a bill with bridge inspection in it, while pushing very hard for a new Twins stadium. The stadium groundbreaking ceremony was slated to be the day after the bridge collapse, before some smart PR person thought it would be a good idea to delay it. I shit you not.
He is one of those classic coward corporate Republicans, whose secret way to not raise taxes is to raise prices on everything else piecemeal. A lightweight if there ever was one.
hey ma hunnies I was in Springfield (press pass and all) but I'm not in Denver. Kids start school today and the need Mommy to carry the kleenex boxes.
Thanks much for the shout out and I'll reciprocate in this afternoon's video blog. xxx
Kids ALWAYS come first (says the single father of three girls and a son.)
(I miss my kids. Now I want to go home. *sighs*)
Ted, sure, McCain might want to go with palin. It'd be fun to see both candidates in the same Party trying to run while under indictment ...
Blue Gal rocks it all the time 
And, yes, Biden boring. I don't know what to think on that but so far Obama seems to know what he's doing and since hrc's paper took Edwards out of the running, well, whatcha gone do. He better get to slaggin' on Mccain though.
Hillary is NOT out of the running so just stop it. McCain still has to select his veep, and it could be hrh hrc! She sucked up to him enough in the primary and wouldn't that just be the best for all the hillaryheads. I think so.
Mccain will choose Hillary or Lieberman. He has a better shot with Hillary though.
Gee the Myrtle opinion is scary, but possible. Why not just offer Cheney four more years? Then McCain can let the VP do the job just like George did. If you are going to stick with the policies, get them direct. Is the VP slot term limited? If so, get Lynn Cheney.
I hope the HRC cabal can contain themselves somewhat at the convention. Yes, it is a nice idea to make unity announcements, but have those diehards been notified? I kind of admire their perseverance, but I do believe the cause was lost seven months ago. Well, I am a bit uncertain as to what the excitement will be other than the stadium speech, so I am trusting that the stadium speech text is a landmark of some kind. We know the delivery will be superb, but this is the kickoff of the real show time, and we need to hear some serious intent. I am happy that you are enjoying your Big Tent sojourn, Jesse.
RC:
Kos was already on this one.
The PUMAs are indeed already in Denver.
All 20 of them.
Chocolate Jesus, this is pathetic. What kind of a world are we living in, when the the Republicans can't even manufacture credible astroturf anymore?
I heard there where 60 pumas...but at least half admited to beign republicans that switched for the chance to vote for hillary (supposedly)
