This might work. What do you think? And who should he select? I don't think choosing a female will work for Senator Obama if it's not Hillary, and why would he pick her with all that baggage (especially Bill!)?? I see Obama selecting Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico to try for the Hispanic votes.

McCain as President is kind of revolting. A McCain put there on the strength of Hillary voters is utterly sickening.
Of course one has to consider the alternative. We're screwed.

If he chooses Hillary as a running mate, he may lose 100% of Republican voters - at leat he'd lose over 90% - or %50 of the country, in order to gain Hillary's 50% of 50% of Democrat votes. Not a net gain, I would say. And then we'd have Bill as co-VP in chief running amok in the federal government again, calling in favors, having backroom meetings with cronies...
This is a shame because though I detest and distrust Hillary (and distrust McCain and am scared of the totalitarian utopia Obama envisions), my own impression is that she's the smartest of the three candidates running.

How McCain Can Beat ObamaEasy - McCainiac can choose the Hillabeast as his VP. Might as well. The GOP seems to embrace liberals into their inner sanctum anyway.

It would be our luck and not surprising if McCain selected someone like Olympia Snowe.

I don’t think this would work at all. The women who want to vote for Hillary because she is a woman would only vote for McCain if he picks a pro-choice woman. These “womyn” hate pro-life women more than they hate most men. I don’t think that McCain would pick a pro-choice woman knowing the response from the pro-life conservatives in the Republican Party.

I'm fine with a strong conservative woman for VP but don't count on it drawing hoards of Clinton women to the GOP. They are liberals first and women second. Remember how little they cared about the White House rapist, or the savaging of the victims; how they were complicit in the racist and sexist trashing of Condi Rice; how they collude with prostitutes by calling them "sex workers."
Nope, some of them will stay home or vote for McCain out of pique but there won't be many Clinton-females voting specifically for a conservative female veep.

Dick Morris answered the same question on John Gibson’s radio show. He told John Gibson that McCain should say, “I hate smoking, too!”

McCain-Hillary ticket for President?
Maybe?
It would be worth it just to burst the bubble of the Obamessiah and his mindless robots.
He wouldn’t stand a chance!
Obama is FAR more dangerous to America than McCain or Hillary.
He — and his nefarious “friends” — must be stopped at ANY cost.

There is always one article or the other with a sure-fired plan for McCain to win. I am not sure how a woman or a minority or both helps him against Obama.
It is the same old posturing and maneuvering we all saw during the primaries. Republicans over-thinking things and ultimately outsmarting themselves. It is my hope that McCain will pick someone who still gives a damn about America and that has the knowledge to know what needs done and the guts to do it.
