This Is Not A Democracy, It's A Republic........
Romney would be OK I suppose, Condi Rice has been floated the last couple days.

I think Condi would be a great choice; think of the discomfiture of the lefties over that one.
On top of that, Condi actually has the experience that Ballsack and Shrillary pretend to have.
Henry, the leftest voters view Condi as a Auntja Mima. The real racist preside over their.
As for VP... No she's not right. My opinion.
I like Condi very much, but I don't like her for VP. I'm not too happy about the job she's done as Secy of State, for that matter. Perhaps she was promoted into the wrong position.
I don't know that I care who the dems pick - whoever it will be will be left of stalin.
As to the GOP - I wish McCain would pick a real conservative. Should also probably be a southerner - I've heard a couple of names kicked around, Haley Barbour of Mississippi and Bobby Jindal of Louisianna, might fit the bill. Whoever it is needs to be young, though. First because McCain may not make it the whole way through and secondly, we need a heir apparant when McCain's term is over.
Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Politically Incorrect Gazette's crackpot investigative reporter, Ned Newsflash, has uncovered a top secret Juan "Let Me Drive You To The Welfare Office, Chico" McCain campaign document that names Juan's top choice for V.P.
Juan's pick: Nelson Rockefeller
Downside: Nelson is dead.
Upside: Nelson is the one pachyderm punk V.P. choice who can make Juan look YOUNG, VIGOROUS, and CONSERVATIVE.

First of all, I find it very interesting, and entertaining that the Dems. continue to divide, chew and spit each others young out while the GOP has more or less come together. What fun!
As far as VP goes, McCain is strong on the war and foreign policy, but self admittedly is weak on domestic policy and Economics which coincidently is Romney's strengths. I think would be a well suited team that has enough character and backbone to defeat the bitter left, and enhance the current state of affairs nation wide. Further, I think Romney would, to a certain extent offset and balance McCain’s liberal bent with a more conservative ideology.

Now that was funny! Thank you!
That's what we need! A Friday Funny!
Here are some very good reasons why McCain would be wise, in my opinion, to pick Mitt for the V.P. slot.
1)There is widespread agreement that if John McCain loses this year, Gov. Romney will run in 2012. If Gov. Romney were on the ticket as V.P. next in line for the GOP nod in 2016, Mr. McCain would not have to worry about whether Mr. Romney would work as hard as possible for a McCain/Romney win this year.
2)Governor Romney is very intelligent, and I think he would be very comfortable dealing with foreign dignitaries.
3)Governor Romney is very rich and has a well-oiled fund-raising circuit that would be very beneficial to Mr. McCain.
4)Governor Romney would bring expertise to economic matters that Mr. McCain seems to be lacking.
5)Governor Romney would bring executive experience as a Governor to the ticket.
6)Governor Romney would bring almost all of his supporters to help with a McCain/Romney ticket, thereby assuring that his supporters aren’t trying to bring him attention to a potential 2012 run, nipping such conversation quickly, before it takes root and is hard to break apart.
7)Governor Romney appeals to social, economic and defense conservatives, bringing the whole Party and most of the Conservative Movement - including talk radio - on board with the ticket.
Romney supporters are very enthusiastic and dedicated. You cannot buy this kind of endearment, but McCain would be able to pick up his supporters, and their already-in-place organizational and other skills they would have to offer to the ticket.
9)Romney would help John McCain in purple states such as Michigan, Nevada and Minnesota, and could possibly even put Massachusetts in play in November.
10)Governor Romney brings all the necessary ingredients to John McCain’s campaign that he so desperately needs to succeed against Hillary - and especially - an Obama Democratic opponent.
11)You cannot buy loyalty like Governor Romney has with his supporters. You have to EARN it. By giving Romney the nod for the V.P. slot, McCain would be showing the Conservative Movement in America that he will not abandon them in the future. If he does this, he will almost be unstoppable in the fall against the Democrats.
12)Governor Romney is now widely seen as heir next in line to be the GOP nominee if McCain were to be defeated, or if McCain served two terms, then 2116, if Romney stays in the game that long. The move to make Romney V.P. would silence many evangelical and social conservatives who now would support Gov. Romney, including Dr. Dobson and others. This would shore up support among Mr. Huckabee’s supporters to Mr. McCain, endearing McCain as the one who actually DID bring the Party and Conservative Movement together to defeat the Democrats and take BACK both Houses of Congress!
13)Gov. Romney was the clear “change” candidate - and ran on that theme. The move to make Romney V.P. would be a tough ticket against a Hillary/Obama ticket. Change wins almost every time. We would now be able to bring that on-the-ground message IMMEDIATELY!
14)As the man who actually did something about - and has earned him wide recognition of - healthcare reform, he is the ideal man to blunt the Democrat’s BillaryCare proposals. This item would essentially be OURS as Republicans, which would deflate much criticism against the Republicans for not adequately addressing this critical issue thus far!
15)By picking Romney, we come out a totally unified Republican Party AND Conservative Movement - ready to hit the ground RUNNING to fight against the Democrats NOW!
16)McCain IS (if he won) the President-elect. He WILL be the Commander in Chief. McCain WILL be the boss - apple sauce -non debatable. McCain will get his way on very many things. But, Mr. Romney can still use cabinet meetings and gestures to try to persuade Mr. McCain to go all the way toward Ronald Reagan’s principled road of social, economic and military-might conservatism. Mr. McCain will ALWAYS win. But, Romney will be RIGHT there to balance McCain as needed.
17)Romney would be good for McCain, since Romney is NOT a “yes” man. Romney is a principled, determined conservative who is GRACIOUS -yet stern when applicable - who can turn the other cheek when needed, after his opinions are known and rejected. He PROVED that by bowing out graciously and promising to work hard for Mr. McCain as the GOP nominee-to-be. Mr. McCain does NOT need a “yes” man, but rather someone who can keep his temper and political wavering’s from right issues in check. This would help blunt criticism about his temper.
1An informal straw vote among those present to see who they might prefer for President after the CPAC convention showed Romney winning it with about 34%, followed by John McCain at about 33 %, and Huckabee way down at only about 14 percent. This vote proves that adding Gov. Romney to the ticket would quell the right, and go along way toward making sure they aren’t complacent on election day.
19)If McCain does not pick a well-known conservative for V.P., it may take MONTHS for the Republican electorate to get know and accept him, as was the case with Gov. Romney. Conservatives now know that Romney is “one of us,” after his gracious exodus speech at a stunned CPAC convention. People cried. My wife cried. I cried. You CANNOT buy that kind of endearment! Governor Mitt Romney EARNED IT!
20)John McCain is old, grey, and not very attractive overall. A V.P. pick that is younger, more handsome, and without so many grey hairs will help McCain with some voters concerns about such things. Romney fits-the-bill here.
21)No other governor fits as many specific criteria that a V.P. should have than Governor Romney. A pick that is OTHER than a governor for the V.P. slot isn’t as attractive to some voters. Executive experience does matter, and Romney can balance a McCain ticket in this way.
22)A V.P. pick should already be politically battle-hardened so that there won’t be embarrassing moments for the campaign. Romney took punches from virtuously everyone - and still stayed a gentlemen under pressure.
23)A V.P. pick MUST be a scandal and corruption-free pick that under the intense scrutiny of the media’s microscope, will not be a negative for the campaign. Romney is about as pure as new snow as one can get. His first and only wife, along with ALL his children, are fine, upstanding citizens with no baggage to bring to a McCain campaign.
24)Many Romney supporters feel like they were shafted by McCain due to his mis-characterization (some say lie) of Romney’s stance on time tables and troops withdrawal from Iraq right before the Florida contest. Romney supporters are keenly aware of the extreme distaste McCain and some of his supporters have for Mr. Romney, and this seems to be feeding a movement for him to run in 2012, ceding the 2008 election to the Democrats. If Romney becomes McCain’s V.P. choice, most of this talk, including the movement, would stop, with Romney supporters instead working hard for the McCain/Romney 2008 ticket.
25)Many Mormons feel betrayed and bitter about what many see as Mr. Huckabee’s overt anti-Mormon bigotry. The history of the Republican Party and Mormons goes back many years, and Mormons have ALWAYS been a strong, reliable source of strength for our Party. By putting Mr. Romney on the ticket, they will feel that Mr. McCain is really not going to let our Party leave them feeling left out, possibly losing this constituency for a long time to come. Let’s be a party of inclusion that the voters approve of, not of the bigoted few that only divide us to eventual ruin.
Condi should have run... and she should be tapped for VP.
I love Condi... F-the haters
I'll bet it'll be Lieberman.
McCain yes. Romney... He's the worst choice for McCain. Why not just pick W as VP?! Condi would definitely be a good choice.
You bunch are such a riot! The juxtaposition between this make-up-and-play-nice-ain't we all pals-hell-I wuz-only-jokin' schmooze job that tries to pretend that McCain and Romney didn't really mean it and '[Sherry then asks him if he thinks the fight is dirty. He says no. LOL. Now he is saying they were friends before this "contest" started and will be friends after this "contest" ends', as if Clinton and Obama will be perpetually at each other's throats, is the typical double standard Republican hypocrisy we have sadly all come to expect.
Why do you think that Republicans can put it all behind them and buddy up while Democrats are fated to go to their graves bearing deep-seated animosities? Is it because liberals are just a load of bitter, hateful individuals? Or that Republicans are a lying pack of phonies and flakes who will saying anything at all, not matter how blatantly untrue (How's the Bush/McCain 'black baby' going?) to achieve power?
Or could it be that the people in both camps are politician operating in a unique system that forces candidates to rip each other to shreds in public, and that neither Republican or Democrat is more angry or dishonest than the other?
Cheers
