Smart Women, Foolish Choices – - To all voting women of America, For the first time in you life a legit Woman candidate is running to be President and many of you are abandoning her for Obama. Not that Obama is bad. Either of them will make a good president. But if you do not believe in your own cause, a woman's cause, a mother's cause and support Hillary, why should America support women's causes, I mean your causes?

McCain-Clinton 08!

After defeating the Clintons, Barack Obama should select Gov Kathleen Sibelius of Kansas as VP.

And considering that Kathleen has a few years of administrative experience, Obama should put Kathleen to work as the day-to-day administrator in the White House. lol

Added advantage is that the females will not feel so let down, after Hilary already let them down with HER INABILITY to even run an effective national campaign on budget. lol

As lond as Obama doesn't choose Billery as his running mate, he has a good cahnce of winning in Novemeber as long as he distances himself from the Clintons.

It is not too early for Republican VP...however, I am so curious why CNN says Huckabee is staying in the race to prove his value as a VP candidate, and yet, Clinton...who has WAY more votes than Huckabee is not even considered.....

Barack Obama should pick Sam Nunn. He needs a Cheney who won't contradict the core rationale behind his campaign and I think Nunn is that guy.

Let's see....Bill clinton almost derailed his presidency by messing with an intern; JFK spirited Marilyn Monroe in and out of the White House in the dead of night; both Bushes, in a rush of testosterone, took us to war in the middle east; Last week when I logged into the Cafferty files, who do I see, but a glowing Barack Obama surrounded by a throng of young, beautiful, blond women.

Maybe it's time to turn the reins over to a 60 year-old woman who is no longer a slave to her hormones.

I think McCain should pick Colin Powell, he is well respected, knowledgeable in foreign affairs and our defense.

The possible Obama VP's are doing well staying out of his Karl Rovish campaign - I rather see McCain winning and undermining the republican Party even more than having a democratic version of George Bush (Barack Obama) destroying the democrats for ever.

No doubt Barack Obama's vp would be Gov. Kaine after watching CSPAN's televised The State Of The Black Union. It was informative and a learning experience.

i think kaine would be a bad pick for obama – he's highly religious and i think it would be contrary to the pro-choice, pro equal-rights stance of most of the democratic party.

These guy answered the question already. None of them is valuable enough to be on the ticket as V.P. ... and they know it. So does America. McCain is stuck. If he needs 6 months to introduce America to his V.P., like Pawlenty, the Dems have 6 months to tear him apart. If they are already well known, like Jeb Bush and Condi Rice, they are an identified part of the problem. With the convention over 6 months away, the odds are pretty good McCain won't even be nominated. Six months is a heck of a long time to be hanging out to dry.

I still think Bill Richardson would be a superior choice. He is experienced in international affairs and energy policy. He is experienced with immigration issues and being executive of a goverment because of his time as governor of New Mexico. And he could help bring in hispanics and the west. And if tragic events make it necessary, he could step in and get up to speed pretty quick.

So far, all the Republicans mentioned suck as much as McCain. Prediction: McCain chooses any of those mentioned, or Charlie Crist of Florida, and he will get toasted worse than he is already going to.

Governor Pawlenty is well respected in this Blue State. He is young. He comes from a Blue Collar back ground. He is moderate on some issues...conservative on others. Given McCain's age, Pawlenty's presence on the ticket would offset Obama (if he is the nominee).
Pawlenty also has an excellent record for balancing and maintaining our state budget. He'd offer McCain the economy experience he needs.
I cannot imagine one good reason for McCain not to pick him as his running mate.

By: JCruz

JCruz — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:37:38 +0000

McCain needs to make a wise decision and pick someone that will help him with the conservative base without scaring away his moderate supporters like me. Having said that, I will still vote for McCain over Obama or Hillary. My vote is on qualifications and experience not on Race or Gender. Go McCain.

By: Richard, St. Paul, MN

Richard, St. Paul, MN — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:31:28 +0000

Pawlenty is our village idiot and we Minnesotans apologize for him on a daily basis. He's so in love with being a Republican that he refuses to raise any taxes, despite the fact that Minnesota bridges fall & roads are in terrible disrepair. Property taxes are out of control and our economy is just horrible, but he's so focused on trying to suck up to a VP position, he's letting Minnesota burn while he fiddles. But when he does want more money for something, he snakes his way around 'no new taxes' and imposes his pathetic 'fees' instead.

I think McCain should choose Hillary as a running mate. He is not in any sense a conservative. His immigration plan certainly lines up with the Dems. I can tell you this, if McCain wins the nominee, the Dems will take the White House. Contrary to what the party base is saying, that conservatives are rallying, that is not true. Conservatives will be sitting this year out if McCain is the nominee

The clear and logical choice is John Kasich.
He must be given strong consideration

Ohio is a must win,
Lately going to Evangelical Church,
Budget Whiz.
Can hold his own in debates.

I think Joe Lieberman would make a great VP for McCain. My Grandson said, "I wouldn't mind being poor, if everyone else was poor. " So if a McCain/Lieberman ticket would win, it would make my Grandson's wish come true.

No more comments from me! I'll just watch as the USA go back 40yrs.

You don't seem to ever learn. You have one person who can bring you out of the recession. But, it's a woman, and that just won't do.

So, 18 month'[s from you'll be straight back to Zero....

How can you keep making these mistake's .

Carry on regardless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is not right that Ralph Nader is in the race due to half the contest are over and he shouldn't be alllowed to enter the race. It also should be a rule for anyone to enter the race before the first caucus or primary is even start. A far as I am concerned it is unfair to the candidates that have fought in the caucuses and the primaries. Nader should earn it like everyone else.

Maybe Obama can pick another insurgent to be his running mate if he is the nominee? That's what he calls himself an insurgent. That is someone who revolts, a rebel. Isn't that what we are fighting in Iraq?

I hope the democrats have a top qualified lady somewhere that is ready to join Obama. No, I don't mean HRC. that would be a complete disaster if you'd ask me. Perhaps the governor of Kansas? Forgot her name. she seems to have a working brain (which I cannot say about HRC). Hope he gives the VP position to woman undder the condition that she is up for the job andnot simply because she's a woman.

I am 53 years old and until Tim Kaine ran for Governor of Virginia, I had never openly campaigned for anyone. I proudly had my Kaine for Governor sign in the front yard of a predominantly Republican neighborhood because I saw him as someone DIFFERENT from all the years of same ol' same ol'. I now have that same feeling again and am PROUD to say my GOVERNOR TIM KAINE is helping SENATOR BARRACK OBAMA run for President. The thought of the only 2 people I have felt so much PRIDE for in my adult life, running on the same ticket................OUTSTANDING!!!!!

The VP is going to be more important then ever before. McCain needs a young qualified black man to be his running mate, then what will all the blacks do? They will have to choose substance over pretty words.

Hello Again everyone

Well lets get through the primaries first and then lets start talking about the running mates.

I believe that by now Sen. Hillary Clinton–has Gov. Billy in here head as her VP. I would have to say that Sen. Obama is going to go with Hillary Clinton, and As for Sen. Macain, it does not matter who he picks as long as he keeps in mind that the person he picks will more then likely run in the next election, or if he does win the general he has to keep in mind that he is not a young man of the greatest health so he sound go young for VP.

getting back to my point, Non of the above people are going to take my word for it, so why even think or write about who is going to play VP..that is letting them off easy, ask them a harder question.lol.

Have a great day and good luck Sen. Clinton.

Albert brake.
