He also has attempted to get in contact with Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia but they seem to be giving him the cold shoulder. Is there any argument that this is a political maneuver to attempt to step back into the spotlight? If he were to announce his running mate it would definitely take quite a bit of the spotlight back, but the real question is if he would be releasing his guns too early. It would obviously be a sign of desperation and give Obama even MORE attention when he announces on his own later. But, as Bush Sr. said, they're jealous, and jealous people to crazy things. On a side note, I hope that Obama's campaign is keeping a list of all the dumb and incorrect things that the McCain campaign has said (Czechoslovakia, joke about killing innocents to his wife, etc. etc.) and will bring them all out at one time. But I doubt it, as they actually seem to be playing fair, which I applaud them for. @Rise America Rise

Jindal is young, energetic and charismatic leader. He is at the forefront of Louisiana reconstruction. He has tremendous oratorical skills and can help McCain against Obama's rhetorics. The next 4 years are about US reconstruction. Jindal has impeccable credentials for this job. Surely the wisdom of the experienced and the energy of the youth is all that America needs for the top job. John McCain and Bobby Jindal. Jindal is young, energetic and charismatic leader.

With the Republican convention after the Democratic convention it would be much smarter to wait until that time. That is when he need to steal the press and thunder. It also give the Democrats less time to plan there offensive attacks against whom ever is selected. It the shoe was on the other foot and the Democratic convention was after the Republican, I beleive they would be playing the waiting game also.

McCain needs to try to hide the fact that Iraqis agree with Obama that we should withdraw our troops, and this is the only thing exciting enough for him to change the subject. Plus, he needs to tell people who will take over as president when he keels over 1 week into his first term. This would be a smart move by McCain.

He's absolutely correct that someone in the campaign is an idiot for suggesting it would be this week. The problem is that McCain's campagin is full of idiots, not least of which being McCain himself. Obama's trip would still trump McCain's VP announcement if it was made this week. Rise's comment was also hilarious, though I think he forgot to include McCain's stop to inspect the battlefield conditions on the Mesopotamian/Persian border. It's just such a tragedy there. :) The advisor's quote in the article is hilarious! He's absolutely correct that someone in the campaign is an idiot for suggesting it would be this week.

How come it's not ok to talk to our enemies, but it fine to throw money at them? Who's really winning, us or the enemy.

McCain will not be making any announcement until after Obama make his. I really don't understand why the GOP is backing him now? I mean really he had his shot back in 2K but Bush lied and cheated on him in the primaries!!! I just don't get it with the Republicans. Nothing but a ploy to pull attention from Obama.

Unless he somehow chose Barack Obama as his running mate, he's going to lose big in November. The old man is a disaster of a candidate. How do you not know Czechoslovakia no longer exists? AND THEN REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKE THE NEXT DAY? How can you not know who Iran supports in the middle east without Lieberman whispering it in his ear? How can your strategy for winning be TO SIMPLY WHINE ABOUT BARACK OBAMA? He sounds exactly like my senile old grandpa when we visit him on Christmas and Easter. Who cares.

For the last decade Sen. McCain has been the blacksheep of the republican party, always differing with the majority and staying moderate on most issues. hmmm....... That sure sounds "McSame" doesn't it?? Hear the man out and give him a chance! You would be up in arms if your candidate, while riding his unicorn into the sunset, singing campfire songs while all the world holds hands, and proclaiming the the world will be at peace.... was lambasted for everything he did.......

If you have so much more experience than Obama and you feel you are the better candidate to be president why are you not acting like it! Your attacks on Obama is only showing you lack the knowledge of the issues and you really do not have the experience of being truly a leader. If I was you I would stop talking on national television about having more experience when it comes to foreign policy than Obama, because polls overseas show you are not the person they would vote for. Also, Senator McCain being shot down from an airplane and becoming a POW and a RAT for the communists doesn't in anyway give you a title of "Hero" neither the experience of being a president. White americans may see you as a "Hero" but the rest of the world know better!!
