Makes me wonder if Bobama will have a couple RINOs on his short list. Could you imagine the media orgasm? Yuck.
I could see Barry picking Chuck Hagel. However, saying that, the rodent base would be as happy to have any Republican, leftist or no, as we would be if McCain picked Lieberman.
The rodents don’t usually like converts (except for the first 5 minutes following their switch so they can bash the GOP with them). I was recalling one of their few convert success stories, the ultraliberal RINO apostate from Flint, Michigan, Don Riegle. He first rode the anti-LBJ wave to Congress in ‘66 as a Republican and he later switched to the Dems in ‘73 because his voting record was indistinguishable from them and won the open Senate race in 1976. Even after 18 years in the Senate, some hardcore MI Dems always viewed him with suspicion despite his pristine Socialist record... all because he hadn’t ALWAYS been a Democrat.
