Who should John McCain pick as his running mate?
By bluegal Friday Mar 28, 2008 8:36pmWell, if Senator McCain would allow the C&L readership to pick for him....could we ever make up our minds?
Update: Oops forgot one.
On topic don't forget to bookmark Straight Talk McCain. We're keeping an eye on that man...

Frist!
Macaca Allen or Conrad Burns!
I am praying it will be Condoleeza. Please. Please.
Jeff Gannon
Harriet Myers
Heck of a job Brownie
I have no freaking idea who those people are.
I would vote for the guy with the watermelon. Why? because he has a watermelon.
Karl Rove
WHOM people, WHOM!!!
Santorum or Harris.
So many choices.
Toss up between Man on Dog and Bug Spray.
Then again, there are a lot of folks not on the list that I would consider. Why not resurrect Dan Quayle?
Larry Craig......that way he could get the gay vote
i don't see LIEberman's picture up there...
or romney's... if i were a betting person, that's the one i'd pick...
If McCain had any brains he'd get Chuck Hagel or (much as I loath him) Ron Paul.
But he doesn't have any brains or backbone anymore.
I'm betting either Tom Delay or George Allen.
You left out Joe Scarborough. Maybe then we could find out the truth about what happened to Lori Klausutis.
Mark Foley
HARRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kathy is so sexy for her moods!
omg i looked at the pics and thought ,, what on earth are the repups thinking regarding thier former past and current canidates!????
They arent thinking period! Like lemmings they will drink the Kool aid at MCcain town , ask no ? and embrace thiier other ousted repups. OMG!! this is like ,, the worst of the most evil empire ever,,
hahahahahahhahahaaha i have to laugh!!!!!!!!!! MORONS!!!
I think he should pick Minnesota's own Rep. Michelle Bachman, on the condition that she first marry Governor Tim Pawlenty so that Pawlenty could be Second Lady.
Hillary Clinton
Where is Bill frist??????
hes worthy of some and of course Dent lott,, aka trent lot
I sure hope it's that ass Rove. But I have to give Rove credit, he does the work of 3 men....Larry, Moe and Curly....
The Karl "I'm invisible" Rove trial might get in the way of the election, though.
Grammar Police @ 9:
Grammar judge and jury:
"Whom" Less Common
The form "whom" is becoming less and less common in English. Many native English speakers think "whom" sounds outdated or strange. This trend is particularly common in the United States. Especially when combined with prepositions, most people prefer to use "who" as the object pronoun. To most native English speakers, the examples below sound quite natural.
Examples:
* Who did you come to the party with?
* I don't know who he gave the book to.
* That is the woman who I was talking to.
* Who did you get that from?
* Do you have any idea who he sold his car to?
* That is the person who I got the information from.
"To boldly go..." made me crazy for years. Then the brainiacs at Oxford said it was ok. I feel much better since I got over it.
Gee if rove runs,, do you think the FBI would hire 24 hr protection for him? or just shrug thier ?shoulders? and say,, ´´hey ya want pizza tonight or Mcdonalds´´? as they watch from thier ´´vans ´´ or rented apartments?
Sean Hannity.
His choice will be Hillary...
Its that time here where i must bid you all a fine good eveing and a god night or morning depending on where you are.
Take care folks and thanks for having me here. Oh and thanks too for C&L blog as well !!!!
Talk to you sometime,, untill that time, dont let time, stand still or lose ground.
Best regards,,,
Larry Craig.
McCain/Abramoff 08
CD @ 16:
My guess is that Hagel has the brains to say "no."
There are so many wonderful choices: Alan Keyes, Ted Haggerty, Pat Robertson, David Duke, Lyndon LaRouche, Fred Thompson, Neil Bush, G. Gordon Liddy . . .
Charles Keating, or Jerry Falwell, Jr. (or Senior).
Laura Bush has been first lady for almost 8 years, first lady of Texas before that, so those are good qualifications. I know, I know, she has never been elected to any office, just having a little fun.
vp @ 23:
Really? Larry, Moe and Curly? I'd say more like Agent Smith, Agent Smith, and of course Agent Smith
Duke Cunningham
Bay Buchanan.
Just saying her name makes me throwup a little.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck
Tony Snow
What's ole Tony up to these days anyway?
Alberto Gonzalez, maybe there could be an indictment before the election.
AAAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH!! I just refreshed my screen and Tom Delay showed up!
Warn us next time, please!
miss_kitty Hussein @ 35:
Or even more fitting for republicans, This Agent Smith
Seriously though, Hillary Clinton.
Grammar Police @ 9:
Yes, but to quote Winston Churchill when he was told to never end a sentence with a preposition:
"You are quite right, madam. That is something up with which we must not put!"
Dick Cheney. It is Bush's third term right?
Larry Craig
miss_kitty Hussein @ 24:
OK, then, concerning another thread....with WHOM were you a slut?
Hannah Hussein @ 43:
You're right. McCain does owe Hillary for all her help.
David Vitter!
A president in Depends and a VP in diapers!
Even more seriously, Alfred E. Neumann. It is Bush's third term, right. What us worry? Hell No!
ON TO TEHRAN!
kathy's tit's would get my vote.
Glenn Beck the stright talk/Common Sence 08(and they are both real Americans) :P
Lindsey Graham or Frank Luntz!
His actual 'running mate' will be Osama bin Laden.
Lynn Cheney!
Tucker Carlson is available.
Matt Hussein in Texas @ 49:
I'm dying!!! Aaahahahahahaha!!
There is not enough band width to list the Republican reprobates you could have included here even if you excluded the pedarists and other sexual deviants.
McCain/Hillary
Keep all the neo-cons on one ticket.
is anyone else having trouble connecting to the mccain site linked above?
James Inhofe or Jim Bunning.
The choice will be based on which one is more bat-shit crazy.
Speaking of bat-shit crazy, what about Zell Miller?
Abraham Jackoff, aka Jack Abramoff.
One of these three
Gore, Robertson and Sharpton hit the beach for commercial
http://tinyurl.com/yrewot
george allen, i think that his anti semitism and racism will really draw out the base of the repubican party to vote for john maccain.
Al Davis. Next to Al, McMyFriends will seem young and mentally acute.
Is Mark Foley out of rehab yet?
Satan, or Ann Coulter. After all nothing says republican more than the dark prince or a soul eating succubus
too many good choices though only one Great One. Katherine 'Kitty' Harris gets my vote. A real Republican!
http://www.draftkatherineharris.com/page/content/draftkh-index/
What no Alan Keyes?
The far right always goes for the superficial.
From this group its got to be either Krazy Kate or Mean Jean.
Jeb Bush or Felix Rodriguez
Kitty and her implants! Yay!
Or Hillary and her... experience under fire. Yay!
Is Admiral Stockdale, Ross Perot's running mate in 1992 -- the one who famously asked at the VP debates, "Who am I? And what am I doing here?" -- still alive? If so, he'd be a winning choice for Straight Talk McSenile. Even if he's dead, he'd still make a great running mate.
Any one of those is guaranteed to get the batshit crazy vote. So many psychos, so little time!

Oh I think McCain should take a wide political stance and toe tap his way to the White House with Larry Craig
A Most Escellent Post BG
Ragnarok @ 7:
Yeah, but he's a Rethug. He won't share.
im for Catherine Harris she would keep the democrats from legislating Sin and has big boobs, That would be 3 big boobs in the white house
He will pick slimy Joe Lieberman.
Here are some more McCain could pick:
To attract the family values crowd:
Mark Foley
David Vitter
Bob Allen
Larry Craig
To cement the Republican White House' good grounding in scientific reality:
Mike Huckabee
Sam Brownback
James Inhofe
To demonstrate their intimate knowledge of technology
Ted Stevens
Or their vast experience in correctly predicting the outcome of our military interventions
Bill Kristol
Or just their all-around good-guy reputation
Karl Rove
David Duke would help him with the
KlanFundamentalist vote.Dick Gedhard
I can see the bumper stickers now...
McCain Gedhard
or maybe Willy Andable...

Okay I get it this thread is to refresh us on the absence of critical thinking and the illusion of an informed public in this country. Now I get it. Funny.
Alberto G.
I can't believe I'm going to type this but I think william kristoff came up with the best VP candidate for mccain.
Clarence Thomas.
If mccain wins, he'll be a 1 term pres (thanks to the economy and war in Iraq) and after 4 years, we're rid of Thomas forever.
If mccain loses (which he will unless there are zero debates), we're rid of Thomas forever.
Who would ever, in a million years, think that a neo-con could come up with a win-win solution that benefitted all of America?
mccain/thomas '08! Because we're sick of the both of you!
Peter Peawright...
McCain Peawright - Undefeetable
Mean Jean would be perfect

A president in Depends and a VP in diapers!

Their slogan: "We've got our shit together!"
How about fellow Panamanian (Canal-Zone born?) Manuel Noriega?
Didn't see LIEberman's picture. Didn't Joe kiss enough asses yet?
Is it just me or does Denny Hastert look like a deranged William Shatner after a week long eating binge at a Mississippi casino?

I vote for Mean Jean!
Who's ahead . . . ?

John Hagee! Hallaluja!!
Man, this is tough! But I'm gonna have to go with Krazy Kitty Harris. She has the most comic potential. Can't wait for that exclusive interview with Sean Hannity. Shoulders back, tits out, Kitty!
I think he should create a time machine and go back to the year 2000 and get himself to be his own VP. That way he can get the crazy right-wing extremists and the moderates.

bada bing!

Kurt Browning, that way he can steal the election in FL as well.
Condi Rice (Chevron Oil) might be the pick. Could go with Romney, if Romney will do it. Long shot would be Lieberman, although two white hairs may be a bit too much.
Chuck Norris or Ted Nugent.

Michelle Malkin (for old time sake) :-)

There's a ball licking contest between Lieberman and Romney.....old wrinkled ball licking.
It's going to be either one of those two bastards.

Kissinger was a couple years ahead of my friend (who died this week at the age of 83) in school. That would make old Hank about 85...

Wishful Thinking
Wishing that all the examples were front and center for the world to see how messed up the Republicans are, only one can be picked. I pick Susan Harris. She's one crazy Republican who I am sure will hurt the them to no end.
For the rest of the examples, I hate to see them move on without a job. I suggest we give them other post within John McCain's cabinet. We would not want to contribute to unemployment numbers.
I could run with this to no end. Thanks for the fantasy moment.

Joe Loserman appears to be the No. 1 suck-up for the job.
I'm just looking at that crowd pictured above and starting to get sick. Hard to believe that those folk
were/are in positions of authority in our country. I'm guessing the combined IQ would be, what, maybe 98?!
I think if Vitter isn't available.......Romney or Lieberman, but maybe McPain will keep Lieberman aside and make him Sec. of State. Or, better yet, Secretary of Homeland Security.

Dennis "Fat" BHastert

hey! mccain's sexy lobbyist pal is still missing isn't she? presumably with jimmy hoffa under the goalposts in giants stadium by now so harris would be the perfect running mate.
Hillary "Rambo" Clinton .

Plus, they can have a resident "fall-guy" should old straight-talk get himself in hot water, because Scooty will happily take one for him.

the BTK Killer
Oh no no my friends....Ann the man .
I'm trying to decide between Darth Vader and Lord Voldemort. Both of them are to die for. Voldemort would have name recognition among the kids, but I think Vader's experience with building large empires will bring in more bribes from the military-industrial-media complex. Maybe we should let them fight it out on American Gladiator - pay-per-view. Should bring in a good haul and take attention away from discussing the issues.

I am beginning to feel like Lieberman should get it, he has been so diligent in his ass kissing.
Sean Hannity
Honestly, I think he is going to go with a "safe" pick and go with former head of Department of Homeland Security and former Governor of Michigan, Tommy Thompson. He as moderate-conservative credentials and he is from a very swing state. (Hear that DNC? Michigan is a FREAKING swing state!)
The other choice would be Senator "Impeach President Clinton" Graham of South Carolina. He is conservative and is young. Very young compared to Senator McCain. It doesn't hurt that he is a southerner from a very conservative state.
vp @ 23:
Karl is summoning up the courage to testify before Congress, he doesnt want to happen to him what the Republicans did to those two Florida R strategists. the 'two murdered one suicided' story last year.
Go to Congress and get some protection Karl, you know the Republican elite think 'hired help' is disposable and they wont be keeping up the payments on your 401K or your plane ticket to Paraguay.
Be a man Karl and let your historic legacy be famous for being the one who revealed the truth, and sent the others off to ADX Florence.
Gerix @ 120:
As much as Senator McCain might like Senator Lieberman, it would be a disaster for his ticket. He is going to run into the same problem as former Vice-President Gore did: The southern, evangelicals are not going to vote for a Jew. To them, a Jew is one step below a Papist (Catholic for you idiots) and one step above a black man.
No Senator McCain would name Senator Lieberman as either Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State, fully capitalizing on the Senates idiotic "rule" to give deference to sitting and former Senators up for a cabinet post.
Perhaps Ronald Reagan's head in a jar? (a la Futurama)
miss_kitty Hussein @ 24:
Miss Kitty,
Don't want to be anal or obsessive, but each example that you sited ended with a preposition--another "chalk on the blackboard" moment for those of us who love the English language. While it's true that language is a dynamic and fluid thing, I think there is much to be said for having basic rules of grammar with which all people can agree. If language strays too far from its roots, communication becomes garbled, meaningless and eventually impossible. I think using improper English is just another example of dumbing down the populace; while I am reluctant to take this example to the extreme and state that it's a symptom of the more widespread corruption in our society, I think a case can be made for adhering to certain standards in some aspects of daily life lest all standards fall by the wayside.
In many ways language is like a woodworking tool: if the tool is dull one must wield greater force to reach the desired effect, and greater force often throws the craftsman off balance. Hope this is received in the spirit in which it is intended, i.e. that of discussion of differing yet friendly points of view. Thanks for allowing me this input.
Just sayin".
Wow. Those six photos in a line-up.
What a freak-show of hatred, bigotry and corruption...
It should be someone palatable. We do not want a situation where the very ancient McCain expires (naturally or helped) and we end up with a Cheney, Pat Robertson, Coultergeist, Romney, Rudy, Hannity, or any of the long line of losers they can muster.
Katherine Harris, of course. She's kind of hot so it would be fun to watch her deploy her 'assets'. but she's so stupid, she'd provide endless entertainment.
Delay hates McCain as does Santorum.
I'll bet it's Katherine Harris,cause I'll bet she likes big cigars.
She certainly has a mouth for one.
T-REX
McCain will choose Hilary as his running mate simply because that is who they tell him to 'choose'.
This way, when the elderly McCain becomes, to sick or dead, Ms. Clinton will - oh my God - be President!
BIG DICK HERE.... I WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER 8 YEARS OF MY LOVING TENDER TOUCH AND WARMTH AND CONSIDERATION...
Tom Cruise (he's bat shit nuts to)
be careful what you wish for. don't underestimate those right wing goons. i've popped out at least two of them, so i should no (sic). they gave us the last eight years and they'd love to give more. but coming or going, i love them between my disgustingly spread legs. i'd like to see george washington do that!!!
None of those candidates would seem to fit in my opinion. All carry a lot of extra baggage and controversy. Every politician carries some baggage with them but those in the photos go well beyond that in their own ways. I still think that its very likely McCain will pick Mitt Romney as VP. His Moron beliefs may be a sticking point for some Evangelicals but I'd bet they will look beyond that because he makes up for what McCain lacks.
Joe O. @ 149:
correction: that should be Mormon not "moron".
