Red New York: McCain-Rice Tops Obama-Clinton
The Swamp:
It’s time to take some tickets to market, and the folks at the Marist Poll have done just that in the Empire State, treasure trove of traditionally blue electoral votes and home of the senator from New York seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.
Try this, they suggest: A Republican ticket of Sen. John McCain and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. It plays pretty well in New York State against a ticket of Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama:
McCain-Rice: 49 percent.
Clinton-Obama: 46 percent.
Flipping the order of the Democratic “dream team’’ – which most Democrats acknowledge is a non-starter anyway – the Republican team still plays better in New York:
McCain-Rice: 49 percent.
Obama-Clinton: 44 percent.
In fact, that Clinton-Obama ticket plays better among women voters. And that McCain-Rice ticket looks stronger than, say, a McCain-Lieberman ticket – with the bipartisan pair of the senators from Arizona and Connecticut drawing only 40 percent of New York’s voters in a matchup with Clinton-Obama (53 percent) or an Obama-Clinton ticket (49 percent).
Fact is, however, all of the above may be dream-tickets in the minds of Grover Norquist (the Republican conservative pushing the Rice cause) and among Democrats (who, exactly, is pushing the Clinton-Obama team?) But the results are here for the viewing at Marist College’s poll: Download file

I still doubt that if Condi was asked, that she would run as McCain’s VP.
I am getting really tired of the constant media speculation as to who McCain is going to select for VP. It’s annoying as hell.

Yeah, it’s more like “manipulation” … as they did with [choosing] McCain FOR us.
