Who cares- Mittens or pawlenty, or even Meg Whitman. that selection is dead in the water. I don't even intend to watch Warmonger and his cronies next week.

Who cares?

Instead of sending the McCain supporters an E-mail, Senator McCain will be posting a letter tonight announcing his selection.

We so hope it is Colin Powell as many of us have E Mailed incessantly to get Powell. He would balance the ticket as he's an intellgent, strong people person who has the military background as well. If Bush would of listened to Powell re Iraq we would be so much better off today. He told Bush "you break Iraq, we own it".

McCain needs Romney's expert advice on the economy. Romney helps McCain in several battleground states.

If he picks a democratic or moderate VP, he will LOSE the election.

I hope it's somebody bad enough to justify voting for the empty suit.

I hope its Romney! He knows the most about the economy and can do the most good.

McCain 08

Is the VP a POW too?

I hope the Dems are ready with the attack ad. If it is Romney, he said some very negative things about McCain.

No way. NO how. No McCain.

It doesn't matter who McCain picks because it will still be…MORE OF THE SAME!

Choose very wisely, McCain…..this is for all the marbles……

I hope his pick will help to defeat Obama. I am one of the many Hillary supporters who will be voting for McCain. Obama has zero experience. The country is faced will serious problems . This not the time for on the job training. This is a fact that Hillary pointed out during the primaries. Unfortunately, it was not enough to defeat Obama. For this reason, I hope the McCain campaign can come up with a VP choice that can help McCain win.

It's kind of a let down after all the hoop la and drama of the Dems.

15000? Good luck on that on, so is he going to listen to Karl Rove and pick Mitt Romney?

Please pick Mitt Romney, the two of you make an awesome ticket which is sure to win !!

And, who cares if he havent had the huge crowds that Obama has, we are electing a commander in chief, not a rock star president with no experience or substance. Big crowds are turning everybody off Obama, he should have realised this after Berlin when his ratings dropped.

I find it interesting that McCain doesn't draw a bigger crowd. All the people who say they will vote for him and not Obama.
This shows me that America is ready for a changing of the old guard in Washington and looking for something fresh and new.
Bill Clinton reminded us in his speech last night that people said he was too young to lead and didn't have foreign policy experience. He was a govenor and not in the senate.
I'm willing to give Obama a chance. I'm tired of paying over $4.00 for gas and watching my paycheck not last. I'm tired of watching people struggle everyday (except the wealthy).
It's time to take back our country from the people who seek to destroy it.

WHO CARES WHO MCAIN WILL PICK PROBABLY A RIGHT WINGER THAT KNOWS HOW to smear and lie the last eight years have been a lie and media didnt hold them responsable I JUST HOPE AND PRAY AMERICAN PEOPLE have learned rhat their scare tactics wont work three times we are smater than that even IF CNN DONT think so

Who cares we will not waste time on the republican convention……I love lucy we be on……..

YAWN!!!!

Hopefully it's Romney. He is very polished and would help McCain restore the economy to its former greatness. They'd make an unbeatable team!

Go McCain 08!!!!!!!!!!

Oh please pick Lieberman, I need a good laugh.
Or no, please pick Fiona.
No, no, wait a min. Romney.

No one of any substance can help the GOP.

I just can't wait for this, the explanation of the selection alone is going to worth a thousand laughs.

Then the debates will carry me through the new year when captain Alziemer's tries to take on the sharp minded Obama. And it would be Christmas in Sept. if anyone is foolish enough to debate Biden.

Peace

It does not matter who he pick. They will both lose this election. Republicans don't even like McCain, come on. I wonder if McCain is going to plagerize the story about the cross in the dirt again.
A story about Alexander Solzhenitsyn from his times in the Soviet Gulags. (Look it up)
Shame on John McCain for taking this man's story. CNN, why are you not reporting on this story, come on.
John McCain never mention the story before 1999, although he had spoken and written about his time as a POW on many occasions.
Note: John McCain wrote an essay on Alexander Solzhenitsyn around the time he began using the story.

Hmmmmm

Holly crap! I just found a comment about John McCain on CNN!!!

Where am I…?

Telling us his pick in Ohio I would guess it to be Mitt. but Pawlenty would be a more interesting choice. it is nice ot see that the Clintons could do (bring unity) what Bohawk could not in the last months. they are the real leaders of the Dem party. I must admit though that after all they have done to try to tell us who Bocrock is all I still have is a biography and not what he has for plans and substance. sure its a sweet family on the outside but a family doesnt run the job. I still just have the feeling he is the kind of father that just says what did mom say when you asked her, or see what mom has to say. I would really like to see him as a real decider as he will only be running the usa.

PLEASE PICK MITTENS!!!

Who will he pick to offset his adultery problem? Evangelicals are very worried that he got his political start as a result of the connections of the mistress that he destroyed his first marriage with.

Combine that with a conflicted abortion record, and you have a problem for John McCain.

he will pick someone that is horrible like him it changes nothing he does not get my vote

Bet it will be Cheney - he's got everything else straight from GW…

The way a man campaigns tells you a lot about him and his administration. An example is George Bush…

If it's Mitt Romney, mark my words: The more people get to know him, the less they like him.

Whoever it is will still be more of the same. No Way, No How, No McCain!

OK John, now lets get in gear and steam roll over your less than qualifyed, and less than experienced opponent. Lets make him prove that he is a natural born US American citizen, did someone say that he was born in Kenyen, and is that a Chicago subburb!!

Who…what? Ohhh yea… the other guy! I forgot about McSame! Haha… I was busy watching HISTORY IN THE MAKING. : )

Who cares?

Abraham Lincoln Had as much experience as Obama.

I'm ready to hear the name of the GOP nominee. As a former democrat the DNC has done nothing for me with the exception of the Clintons speeches. Go McCain-Romney!!

I will be there in Dayton tomorrow, and can't wait to see who McCain selects!

Are there 15,000 people who really like John McCain enough to bother showing up? If McCain is the cream of the republican crop this year, I can't wait who comes in second to that.

McCain/Huckabee '08! You just wait!

dominated ?

Rush Limbough or Sean Hannity… hes gonna lose anyway

He's gonna have a hard time attracting much interest. No way will more than a couple thousand people bother to show up for Grandpa Simpson's less than inspiring pick for someone to run as his whipping boy.

McCain knows what he's doing. It's funny that Dems always have the crowds, the media, and all the fuzz, but in the end they fall short to win. The American People are smarter than just choosing their President based on those issues. We need someone that can talk without that tele-prompter, someone that talks from their heart. McCain has that proven track record and not the "rhetoric".

We need the RIGHT type of change from someone that proven!
McCain 08′

Yes. This is the guy americans are waiting for in the white house.
Go John

So, who cares?

PICK ROMNEY OR THIS CONSERVATIVE WILL VOTE DEMOCRATE .!.LOOK WHO'S FACING US, IF ONE SHOULD NEED A GOOD REMINDER.'NOUGH SAID !.

After last nights speeches at the Dem convention, nobody really cares!!! Also the repugs may have a huge hurricane to compete with. So while they're celebrating, people may be in a dire situation. Sound familiar. McCain was eating birthday cake with Bush when people were drowning in New Orleans. Bye Bye republicans. It's been a horrible eight years!!!!

Who cares?

Hey, John King! How about the same buzz the media offered to Barack Obama on his VP pick?

Whatever………..

While I can't take credit for this line, I love it…

Do we really want to go from Dubya to P.O.Dubya?

Who cares….

Dear Sen. McCain, I know your running make will be tops. I hope it's bold: Joe Liberman. Good Luck and Happy Birthday, Senator McCain!

Mitt Rommney who else? he needs somebody who knows a little someting about economics, mcsane certaintly doesn't. Whoever the loser is, they will be on a sinking ship because mcsane is not going to be president.

Obama

So!

Bring on today's Dan Quayle, far-right, not-that-bright Pawlenty! We Minnesotans already know what a worthless Bush clone HE is, so he won't help McSame HERE! Biden will chew him up and spit him out in short order anyway! Bring on For The Rich Only Romney! His tired old cut taxes for the rich and further bankrupt the country crud just won't fly anymore, and Biden will chew HIM up and spit him out too! And bring on 9/11 Giuliani, the self-appointed phony expert on terror, whose only expertise is fearmongering. Biden already HAS chewed HIM up and spit him out! No matter WHO McSame picks, it won't matter, because his continued reliance on failed old Bush policies means he'll be going DOWN!
OBAMA BIDEN '08 AND '12! !!

No one cares who's going to be McCain's VP. They are a lost cause.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama has the experience to end all wars and bring peace and prosperity to the world

Obama will help the UN govern the world.

Obama will make sure all people around the world are fed.

Obama will make sure everyone has a good paying job

Obama will give free health care to everyone

Obama will finally give reperations to minorities for whites mans racisim and slavary

Obama 08

who cares?can as well pick his mum.

Who cares? These two will be the laughing stock of this political season! You might even catch these two republican good ol' boys
doing some old fashioned republican buggerin' in the boys room. The GOP now stands for gray old perverts, we've had plenty of them the last few years and if the voters want to put the country in the hands of a bush boot licker like mcain, then they deserve what they get. Folks if you want this anachronism to be your president you deserve him.

The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally …in Phase 3 wing of the Neverland Nursing Home.

And your point is??? No matter who he picks, the results will be the same, "NO WAY" "NO HOW" "NO MCCAIN"…

I honestly think the media is manipulating the polls to make McCain seem more competitive. As evidence, I point to the last line of this article: McCain is "hoping to have 15,000 people… at the rally… five times his larges crowd to date".

The best crowd McCain has thus far attracted was 3,000 people?! How could he possibly compete against a leader who routinely fills football stadiums?

I have a feeling McCain went into the presidential campaign convinced he'd be sparring off with Hillary in November. Now that he's up against Obama, I think he probably wishes he hadn't run. I know the republican party chose him because they thought he'd be "the best person to beat Hillary".

The republicans have no good leaders right now. I very curious to see who McCain's running mate will be. It's a sorry lot and everyone carries heavy baggage. The best he could do is Huckabee, but he'll move McCain's social message to the right.

Lets hope it Romney. The Dems have NOTHING as usual.I call it SOS: Symbolism Over Substance

Liberman fits McCain best.

I'd like to know why McCain's military records are sealed.
Why doesn't he release that information!

I'm pretty sure it'll be Romney, and McCain will win pretty handily in November.

Probably another MULE like himself

Just don't pick a robot such as Tom Ridge.

Who cares- he is old news……….

who cares!!!!!!!!

How about CNN does something meaningful for a change and talk more about the Historic moment Barack Obama had.

Hum so he selected the next looser….probably Rich Mormond Romney .. Anyway NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN

The only way John McCain will draw 15,000 people in Dayton is if they pay half of them to show up.

I guess he picked George Bush. But then again does anyone really cares who John McCain picked? You don't abuse a country over and over for 8 years and then ask for another 4 years? 4 months that's all John McCain will get. 4 months, 4months, 4months.

PUMA!!!!!!!!!

Hillary supporter for McCain!!!!!!!

McCain 2008! Hillary 2012!

Every single day of the Democratic Convention, the McCain folks have "leaked" or thrown out a distractor or two. This afternoon it may be teasing on who the VP choice is. He's continuing to goad his campaign on to do just that—try to distract the public from what we should really be paying attention to. Maybe in the case of the Republicans, this is the only safe route at this time, and certainly their most-used tactic against the American people.

Good luck to all.

I was a big fan of John Mcain till he started running all kind of negative campaign. The man will do or say anything to get elected, reminds me of the biblical cain.

Wow - 15,000 roughly five times larger than any other crowd he has had. And about 60,000 less than what Senator Obama is able to pull off. McCain offers nothing inspiring - wait he inspires me to get a rectal exam. McCain's VP candidate will do nothing to separate him from the continued policies of George W Bush. Democrats unite and tell John McCain - no way, no how, no McCain.

Obama will speak in front of 75,000 people; McCain will be lucky to draw 15,000 given the way the GOP has wrecked Ohio.

Who ever John McCain picks will be a loser on a losing ticket. Unless McCain is coached, he does not have sound enough judgement to pick a winner. McCain has always been a "Follower"…Not a leader.

YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is NBC is refusing to run an ad by T Boone Pickens?

The 15-second ad talks about how the government of Iran is making a MAJOR effort to use natural gas in their vehicles so they can free up $120 a barrel oil to sell to us while we are doing nothing. Guess we can't let that info out.

Mitt Romney would be a good choice. He has extensive experience in economic matters, which would compliment McCain's experience in world matters. He is also very capable of being our Commander in Chief. Pawlenty is a good choice as well however he lacks the recognition factor. I see a bright future for him as well as Bobby Jindal. I also like Joe Lieberman however if the point is to win the Whitehouse, better put him in as Secretary of State where his talents would be better served for our country.

ZZZZzzzz

McCain's VP choice will be a member of the neocon club. Thank God I never got a small pox shot as one in 500 Americans were at risk of reaction and death from the shots … to protect us against a bogus threat by a political party of liars who kept us in fear and horror, now ending with the biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression. Fundamentalist "Christian" Republicans prayed for rain on Obama's speech and now Gustav threatens their convention. I'm sorry that McCain was tortured after dropping American bombs on Vietnam but Americans have been tortured for the last 8 years and McCain never met a war he didn't love!

Of course, after a historic night, you put a PRO MCCAIN PIECE AT THE TOP OF THE TICKER AGAIN!!!!!

I hope its Sarah Palin. McCain08

Obama blew it last night when he stole Biden's thunder at the end of Biden's speech. It was suppose to have been Biden's night to shine but Obama messed that up real good. Its clear that Biden will play a big role in foreign policy decisions just as Dick Cheney did with all his foreign policy talk. It seems Obama is following in George W. footsteps. We need a real man and that man is John McCain 2008! He's paid his dues and now is the time.

So the announcement is that McCain "will officially reveal" his choice, even though the VP pick hasn't formally accepted, or even knows they're the nominee? It's an announcement about an announcement. Doesn't CNN feel a bit manipulated?

Who friggin cares?

It's gotta be Lieberman. That's a no-brainer. Go for it, Sen. McCain!

McCain is trying to step on Obama's toes and if the media start talking about him instead of the convention it will pull away the attention Obama is getting.
Isn't it funny that the man prayed for it to rain in Denver when Obama gives his speech but now Gustav is coming up the coast on the republicans' convention next week. Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it back at you!

I'll bet CNN is thrilled. I'll bet they're tired of nitpicking and critcizing the democrats all week. Maybe now they can start gushing all over McSame and his anointed one.

I hear O'Reilly's coming to Atlanta for an interview!

Who cares……. Voting for Obama and Biden

I know Colin Powell has pretty much taken himself out of the running, but that choice would sow up this election.

Sarah Palin would shake up the election too.

Don't need Romney as the conservative right wouldn't vote for Obama in a million years.

Huckabee would lock in the evangelical vote, it could be him.

Rice would be great except for the parralell to the Bush administration…it would be harder to fend off all the 'McSame' comments, but certainly doable.

All the rest just bring individual state bonuses.

We'll wait and see!

Strange that he would choose the anniversary of Katrina to announce, especially since he & Bush were cutting birthday cake & celebrating at the time!! Of course he may not remember "who" Katrina was and Bush probably didn't know anything about it yet!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Probably won't get posted-neg. mccain usually doesn't.

GO Romney!!

Who Cares!

I live a short drive away from the Nutter Center and I am not going to waste my time listening to more of the same.
NO WAY , NO HOW, NO MCCAIN!

Who cares….

It doesn't matter. McCain doesn't stand a chance. When you remove the corporate polls, McCain barely registers as a candidate.

I think Romney is a great potential. He is presidential - far more than Obama or Biden, anyway. He is intelkligent, understands the economic, has executive experience as a governor and a trackrecord of good management skills.

McCain-Romney the next POresident-VP team.

I have listened to Pawlenty also, and I think he can be a good pick too. I really Lieberman, even when he was not an independent. There is a genuineness about him.

Romney is still my man though.

Please let it be Leiberman….oh please….he can whisper in McWars

ear the whole convention and after.

Mccain was ready to announce when he had the spotlight all to himself……………………..It was a ploy to just get some attention. So it will not come as a suprise to once again want the hype………I'm gonna this time really?

On hype I'd rather see our future president draw huge crowds and loved by all Americans then have a difficult time appealing to and sticking to issues as McCain has constantly drifted off to story land??

He can go with a Congressional page, and the page would have more experience than Obama.

YAWN… the losing VP is a footnote to history…. at best.

who cares?

Perfect. Probably the weakest news day of the year following Obama's historic nomination. He's a fool or the pick is weak, Please, give us Lieberman.

Obama/Biden '08

15,000 people? Must be including the entire county!

Obama-Biden '08!

Who cares?? It's all about the Dems now.

Obama/Biden 2008-2016

God Bless the United States of The Democrats!!!

Peace

Let's hope he remembers the weight carried by Mike Huckabee. Huck also bridges areas John is weakest in. Mike solidifies the morals that set the party above the compitition. Go Mike Huckabee, the best and strongest running mate John McCain could pick.

How many stories do we need on this? THIS IS OLD NEWS. We knew BEFORE yesterday that McCain would reveal his choice on Friday.

I wonder if they're paying people to attend???

Either Mitt, Joe or Tim would be excellent choices. I would have liked to see Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell's name in the running.

Whoever McCain picks I am sure it will be a well thought out decision based on what is best for this great country. McCain is a good person with strong moral values. He has a deep love for this country and the American people.

Obama speaks of change,, but who did he pick for VP, an old fashion Democrat one of the tax and spend crowd, Its funny how BIden change his tune, when he was running for President he claimed Obama was not ready to lead. Now becasue he was picked for VP he claims Obama is ready to lead, Same old talk from a Washington Crat, changes his tune with the winds. Do we really want 4 years of the tax and spend Democrats.

who ever it will be. It doesn't matter…
Repugs Convention - doesn't matter…

you've seen Kerry, both Clintons, Kennedy and Biden?
are you going to watch Obama's acceptance speech?
Well, THIS is what matters.
After the DNC, who cares for these stupid Repugs?

Obama/Biden 08

(and if you really vote McCain for POTUS… well USA is going to mean Unlimited stupidity of America)
So think about it, vote blue this time.

"The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally — roughly five times the size of his largest crowd to date." HAHAHAHAHA

I can hardly wait! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And the winner is MITT RO…!!!

Who cares…

We know what next week is going to look like.

Every single speaker at the Republican Convention will continue the lies and attacks on Obama like they've been doing on Larry King over the last few nights, I guarantee you that they dont get as much coverage because of their negativity and not drawing out a plan that distinguishes McCain from Bush, I still don't know what McCain really stands for.
