Okay … It’s On. Who Should McCain Pick Now?
So, barring some raunchy sex tape between Michelle Hussein and Louis Farrakhan’s wife … or Michelle Hussein and Tommy Lee … I’d say it really is Hussein for the DNC.
(You can pick out Mrs. Hussein … two down from her left is Mrs. Calypso Louis)
Still not 100% certain Hillary’s on the ticket with him … I’m sort of thinking she might be offered a possible position in his administration … Michelle’s bitch???
Anyhow, seriously, after yesterday’s un-curbed news that a certain NYCity shit-head mayor is on Mac’s ’short list’ for Veep nods, I think it’s time we put the Veep topic back on the table.
I think the majority of us on this site, although huge Bobby Jindal fans, want to see him cut and sharpen his teeth a bit in the La. governor’s mansion for a while.
Aside from the obvious and very visible Mitt Romney, the name Sara Palin keeps bobbing to the surface higher and higher with conservative folks. And for good reason. While excellent Veep material … she actually is a hell of a lot more qualified for POTUS than Hussein Obama. Ann Althouse has listed just a few more of Palin’s strengths. Hell, she’d have Ted Nugent’s vote …
And IF Hussein does pick Hillary … well, Sara’s … HOT! … and Hillary’s NOT.

Let’s talk about potential VP candidate Sarah Palin.
1. Check out the picture that represents her in her Wikipedia article:
Fur!
2. “[S]he … is a rabid gun advocate. She’s an edgy conservative who could help get those vital cross-over and independent votes.” Rabid? Edgy? With a gun? Sounds dangerous…. Dangerous women!
3. Alaska! With Hawaii represented by Barack Obama, it would be cool to give the other latecomer state some respect at this time. It’s always troubled me that Hawaii’s been so far off and disconnected from the rest of the United States, and it’s good that there’s another disconnected state to keep it company. (You know when I was a kid in the 1950s, I heard discussion of Alaska becoming a state, and when someone said “I hear Hawaii is coming in too,” I thought the islands were somehow floating over and would connect to the west coast.) Alaska’s important too: oil-related. We’re going to be talking about gas prices, and having the governor of Alaska will resonate.
4. John McCain is going to try to get the disappointed Hillary supporters to come over to his side, and choosing a woman may have a big effect.
5. She’s very pro-life. And she just had a child with Down Syndrome. She knew he had Down Syndrome, yet she didn’t abort him. Some people will give her strong credit for that. Some — like me — will say: Well, of course, what else could she do?! Show me someone who supports abortion rights but chooses not to abort a child with Down Syndrome and I’ll be impressed.
6. She has 5 children now. That’s impressive. The new one is named Trig. The others are not named after math class, but are named rather oddly, rather hippie-style: Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper. Boys or girls? Only Track is a boy. And he’s in the Army. [CLARIFICATION: I know Trig is also a boy, as indicated under point #5. I meant of the others, the 4 names listed here as odd and “hippie-style.”]
7. Is she prepared to be President? Clearly, I haven’t answered that question here!

If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
At this point McCain can pick his nose for all I care. I am voting defensive this Presidential election.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:03 pmIm thinking Palin would be a great choice. im sticking with her unless someone can convince me that their is someone better at this point. and someone as electable
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:17 pmAnyone who considers Bloomberg as a VP is forever on the eternal shit head list as far as I am concerned, he bends to whim of low-rent race pimps like Al Sharpton and Charles Barron.
He raised property taxes somewhere in the neighborhood of 18% a couple of years ago, his only real accomplishment in office is not to fuck with most of Giuliani’s fixes for NY City.
He is a gun grabber and an advocate for the current sanctuary city policy.
I am amazed this nincompoop is a billionaire.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:35 pmI am cautious about Governor Palin, but so far she is the most impressive choice, better than getting that syncophant from South Carolina Lindsay Gramnesty as VP, but hey there is plenty of time left for disappointment.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:41 pmAnybody in the MavNasty administration will be tainted forever.
Best bet leave Alaskans happy and leave her there to keep the GOP name with some respect. Same with Bobby in LA.
After we get rid of the Rinos will will need some Conservative to get the GOP back…
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:56 pm‘…will need some Conservative to get the GOP back…”
Quick… come up with a name
June 3rd, 2008 at 5:16 pmIt’s going to be Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. At least that’s my prediction.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:07 pmBobby Jindal.
President, 2016-2024.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:09 pm(in reference to sully)
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:10 pmThe grumpy ol’e bastard will pick whomever will pull his wagon his way, a Vincente Fox lap dog type.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:27 pmWhat Will said.
Jindal, baby.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:29 pmTruth be told … I was more impressed with Bobby Jindal’s intro speech tonight than I was in McCain’s speech …
That said … Jindal’s speech was stronger than Clinton’s and Hussein’s combined.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:40 pmTed Nugent
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:50 pm“(in reference to sully)”
I was hoping serfer62 would quit his drive-by shit and tell us who HE thinks would be the GOP second coming this year.
Jindal is great but after careful research of VOGUE I’m def in the Palin tank….
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:52 pmFormer senator Allen-R-Virginia.
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:00 pmCheckmate O’Bambam with Bobby Jindal. He is a good conservative and worthy of the position..
June 3rd, 2008 at 7:24 pmTed Nugent after 9/11 - “I am gonna have to pray for them because now we are gonna have to go over there and kill them.”
Got my seat at a McCain fundraiser luncheon tomorrow. I can barely afford the seat, but I cannot afford the alternative to electing someone else. No matter his faults, he really is our best for the GWOT. I believe that he will thoroughly support our guys in the field.
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 pmFred.
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:30 pmHmmm…upon further analysis:
The only down-side to Jindal is that he’s young. You know the libbies are just gonna throw that in our faces in reference to our arguments against Obama.
Palin as VP, Jindal as a high-ranking cabinent member.
June 3rd, 2008 at 8:36 pmI like George Allen alot. definitely a great suggestion
June 3rd, 2008 at 9:08 pmAfter watching both McCain’s and Obama’s speeches on TV Tuesday night, McCain no less than NEEDS to run Alaska Gov Sarah Palin as his VP mate.
