I believe that it's really between two people, but the others are funny.  You have Lieberman, but you forgot about Lindsey Graham.  Both seem to always have their shiny faces (and flabby asses) parked in “Juan” McCain’s after-parties and celebrations. 

The gimp "war hero" from Atlanta, aka the guy who dropped his own grenade while boarding a helicopter in Vietnam while he was stoned on pot, would be absolutely hilarious.  Just think of all the books that Ann Coulter could write about these nut jobs over the next four years.

Eating and sleeping are the only activities that should be allowed to interrupt a man's enjoyment of his cigar.  - Mark Twain

I Know this will never happen but i wish that McCain would find a way to mend fences with Romney.  Since i personally can not stand McCain (although not as much as I loathe Obama/Clinton) he needs a real conservative voice on the ticket to charge up the base.  If we don't rally the base we will never win in November.  The Clintons have always been famous for the get out the vote effort.

So let it be written...so let it be done...Lindsay "Grah-amnesty" has been added just for you GarMan.  I stand corrected also by adding "Juan's" first name (Hispanicized of course!)

By the way, I think that it is freaking hilarious that he almost lost his home state last night!

A McCain/ Romney ticket would be strong but I think that there's just too much bad blood between them at this point; I reckon conservatives will be doomed to wander in the political wilderness for four (or Lord help us eight) years...

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Huckabee seems to be a favorite amongst the Tiger X group...I see he's taken a significant lead today.  I'm bummed about Romney dropping out of the race...he gave a great speech yesterday at CPAC:

Well, after a very light turnout amongst the membership (11 out of 258; about 4.3 percent) it looks like the favorite running mate is:

Mike Huckabee.

Thanks for all the votes.  Like I said just having some political fun.  We'll see what happens as the McCain campaign develops. :vn:

The light "turnout" is indicative of what us as republicans are going to face in November.  Noone is excited about any of our choices, and McCain surely won't fire anyone up.

Yep, you are correct...about Republicans anyway.  Obama's like a rock star (when he has a teleprompter).

Maybe I ought to put up a poll about Obama's potential running mates...now that could be fun...Che Guevarra (if he was not dead), Fidel Castro (well, if he was not dead too), Hugo Chavez, the Breck Girl (John Edwards), Mahmoud Achmadenijad, Sen. Dick "Turban" Durbin...
