Dallas Morning News ^

Will U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison join John McCain on the Republican presidential ticket?

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.

That’s the most rational thing she’s said for about... well... a long long time.

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

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.

For Texans, The real bummer is 'they' hate cold weather!

In S.Texas towns you can't even find an English radio station.

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?

"I'd so much more like to keep helping Texas. I hope I'm not in a position where I'm considered."

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

Yep. We are to the RNC like the blacks are to the DNC. They only remember us at election time.

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.
