Don’t worry; I’m not going to ping the list. But, I could be tempted to vote for him if he picked Sarah as his VP and toned down the amnesty and carbon credit crap.

I think I heard yesteday Palin out but not sure. I hope he picks someone who carrys states needed to win. The more I hear from the arrogant but extremely stupid Obama it scares the tar out of me to think he may be our next president!

Alaska! — Governor: Sarah Palin (R)

THOMAS SOWELL

or for even more fun... WALTER WILLIAMS!!!

I nominate you for Press Secretary. You’d pick much hotter reporters to call on that Helen Thomas!

Back to the thread question as posed...

Mitt. We need a good communicator and someone who can bat down the other side on this ticket. His economic ‘gravitas’ is needed to keep fiscal conservatives on our side. Plus, he is a good politician - his recent comment of ‘sweet talk’ vs. straight talk is masterful.

I can live with either one myself, but perhaps a small nod towards Romney for his knowledge of business, markets and money. The next four years will require someone in charge with a broad understanding of those I fear.

Thank you!

Pawlenty—convention’s in Minnesota. Make Hussein work and spend to keep upper midwest states.

Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney.

It's hard to make a case out of your opponent's inexperience when you pick a running mate with even less experience than he has. I know that he doesn't like the man personally, but I suspect McCain will hold his nose and pick Romney.

I second Pawlenty, could live with Portman.

Both have executive experience something which Obama doesn’t have.

I like Duncan Hunter (but I don’t expect he would be picked) Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. John Thune, Gov. Palin, Michael Steele and Rob Portman for VP, and a few others.

Mitt Romney is tolerable, and has some good qualities, but I don’t like his universal health care stance in MA, or his desire for a partnership with Red China.

If Senator McCain picks a liberal, like Charlie Crist or Joe Lieberman, I won’t vote for him, because that tells me he won’t pick conservative judicial nominees, either.

Who is Portman?

I like Walter Williams and he'd throw an interesting dynamic to the campaign. I've heard his program a number of times (currently it doesn't air locally where I'd find it).

I'd have to see what experience he has to be an administrator and potential successor in ascendancy to the President.

Unfortunately, I doubt he's anywhere on the GOP's list of names.

Palin or Jindal works for me.

But McCain could put Hillary on the ticket, and I would still vote for him over Bambi.

Romney or Kasich.

Walter Williams is older than McCain.

"Governor, I've been a very naughty boy, and I deserve to be spanked...please."

Frankly, me.

Both have executive experience something which Obama doesn’t have.

Palin has a whole 6 months. Whoopie. Romney has 4 years, but his experience in the private sector and non-profit sector would make up for that.

Unfortunately, I doubt he's anywhere on the GOP's list of names.

Thank God.

I would vote for her.

Mitt Romney.

An unknown would not help him at all.

Sounds good to me.

I like Romney.

I don’t know anything about Palin other than the fact that she is cute. She sounds capable and novel, but I think she is too much of an unknown on the national scene (Alaska is a great, beautiful state, but may be too remote to serve as a springboard to national office)

The other picks quite honestly bore me.

>>>please spare us “he should pick Fred or Duncan and step down<<<

So not only are your posting vanities in front page; but, you are the self appointed thread police?

“Mitt. We need a good communicator and someone who can bat down the other side on this ticket. His economic ‘gravitas’ is needed to keep fiscal conservatives on our side. Plus, he is a good politician - his recent comment of ‘sweet talk’ vs. straight talk is masterful.”

I agree. Mitt Romney would be the best choice in my opinion. I voted for Romney in the primary after Fred Thompson dropped out.

Palin also has an autistic child which, according to Michael Savage, makes her a rotten parent. How can we have a rotten parent living in the vice-president’s house?

Hillary.

Really.

I see..............................................................Mitt

I would vote for her as well, for substantive reasons rather than ticket-embroidering ones.

But that’s the difference between us and them. It’s always the dems who insist that America is too neanderthal to vote for a black or a woman.

I thought the child had Down Syndrome.

LOL!

John Kasich, strong conservative values, good speaker/debator, young & from Ohio (which McC needs).

I would personally prefer he pick someone that the left hasn't done oppo research on yet like Marsha Blackburn. If we are talking about the usual people talk about, then Sarah Palin is probably my first choice.

Where did I say anyhting about the Hildabeast?

I like Romney. Then in four years, Romney can run for reelection with Sarah Palin as VP.

Michael Steele is the best choice for numerous reasons. he is more talented and articulate than Barack and eliminates the race card one up. He has exec experience, he would make an excellent successor and...

...the bumper sticker McCain / STEELE has a good metaphorical ring to it.

I LOVE MICHEAL STEELE. I have never been able to get his covention speech out of my mind. His fundamental understanding of conservative principals really made me long for the days of the Gipper.

Mark Sanford. He can help McCain carry the south.

Mitt Rominey. Mccain has got to have someone to attack BO. I dont think you can win by only playing Defense.

Yowza!

Someone told me she’s a global warming kook....that true?

Where did I say anyhting about the Hildabeast?

You didn't.

I did.

And I'm not being facetious.

They'd win.

You said that Gov. Palin has six months of executive experience. She has been a governor since Jan. 2007, which means that she’s had that job for 18 months.

I think that, since McCain is a westerner who has been a U.S. senator and representative, he should balance the ticket by choosing a conservative who has been a governor from a state that is in the eastern half of the U.S. John Ashcroft would be the perfect choice. Although he ran for re-election to the U.S. Senate and lost to a dead man, he was later the U.S. Attorney General for four years, during the war against terrorism. That experience would help him, as the running-mate and as the VP. Many conservatives think that McCain is too liberal, but those conservatives know that Ashcroft is conservative.

If McCain wins the election, whom should he nominate for some cabinet positions? I think that he should nominate these people: Secretary of State, Dirk Kempthorne; Sec. of Treasury, Ed Schafer; Sec. of Defense, Mel Martinez; Sec. of Homeland Security, Asa Hutchison; Attorney General, John Sweeney; Sec. of the Interior, Richard Pombo; Secretary of Agriculture, Frank Keating; and Chief of Staff, Newt Gingrich.

DR. KLAN !!!!!!!!!

McCain/ Klan 2008

Just as a lark, here are some possibilities:

1) To “balance the ticket”, Jeb Bush.

2) To fracture the black vote, J.C. Watts or Condoleeza Rice. (Not Colin Powell). I might add that either would be terrific VPs with race not even a factor.

3) For strong military support, General David Petraeus, who would be extra good if it was projected we would get into a fight with Iran.

4) If a truly major economic crisis is projected, which is a possibility, I would suggest getting a major captain of industry capable of rewriting our economy in a big way. No idea who that might be.

5) If possible, they need coattails to bring in as many new congressional Republicans with them as they can.

6) The “Hispanic” vote is still in play, as the immigration debate is still potent. No idea.

She could win the erection all by herself.
