What a coincidence. I don’t want Kay Bailey as a Veep either.

Not something we want, either.
At least give us a VP candidate who can carry the conservative cause down the road.

KBH is just as bad, if not worse, than McManic on immigration. She has huge cujones just for saying this.

You got to admit that Hutchison would really round out the moderate, geriatric ticket though!

I am very disappointed in KBH and Rick Perry and their crawfishing on our border fence.
I'm afraid they have both turned out to be John MeCain Republicans.

And the conservative grass roots breathes a collective sigh of relief.

While I don’t mind Hutchinson in the Senate, no way do I want her on the national ticket.

No way ~ woman thinks more highly of thirsty cows in Texas than she does her fellow human citizens in the rest of the country.

I was in Dallas three weeks ago, and I could not BELIEVE how many people in the service industry could barely speak English. I feel for Texans after that experience.

I’m hearing on the local news that FL Gov Charlie Crist is on the short list for VP.

In S.Texas towns you can't even find an English radio station.
To: driftdiver
I think Crist or Pawlenty is more likely thans someone with Southern appeal. I figure McCain is going to think, where else are the southern, evangelicals going to go?

Not too familiar with Texas politics. What has she done to help Texas?

To: mnehrling
Here we go again. With every nominee for president we get these long laundry lists of potential VP running mates. I thought McCain needed a conservative and not a moderate like Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. She has no shot at the VP slot.
