That lady’s as dull as dishwater.
Huchison?I don’t know if I like that....
Thumbs down
I doubt it.
JC Watts makes more sense, especially if Obama is the opposition.
Just can't see this as any sort of ideological balance unless McCain's got some handlers who think tossing a mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk female Liberal will help make him look Conservative.
McCain picks a liberal like Hutchinson and it would be suicide. Plus, she is an intellectual lightweight and I don’t think her love of earmarks fits with McCain’s strengths.
if mccain doesn’t choose a proven conservative as his running mate he is TOAST!!!
Kay Bailey Hutchison: Running with McCain ‘not something I want’

Pick someone who doesn’t want it?
I still think Texas is RED regardless. We need Charlie Crist as VP because we can't take a chance on Florida. Florida is an absolute must.
No. She doesn’t want it...and that is a very good thing.
I don’t see the sense in putting two senators from a Congress with an approval rating in the teens on the same ticket. A conservative southern governor with executive experience could balance the ticket.
IMO, Romney would be the best balance for the ticket, but I don’t know if he’d do it. McCain is very weak on the economy and Romney would help that tremendously.
Remember; nobody thought Reagan would pick Bush 41 either.
Team RINO would be complete.
She has said publicly many times that she’d not interested.
McCain needs to pick a southern conservative to carry that demographic. Jim DeMint is strong candidate. McCain is also going to be 72 years old when inaugurated. Can he do a second term at age 76? He’ll have to think about that.
I’d like to see Indiana Congressman Mike Pence.
She will be great for supporting the second amendment.

Conservative blogs and pundits have attacked Hutchison ever since Reps. Peter King of New York and Duncan Hunter of California accused the Texas Republican of essentially repealing Congress’ mandate to build 700 miles of fencing. “This was a midnight massacre,” King said of an amendment Hutchison shepherded into law last month. “It was absolutely disgraceful.”

My recommendation...John Boehner, House Minority Leader, and (as far as I can tell) thoroughly conservative.
Boehner is also a better speaker than is Sen Obama, and head-and-shoulders above Hillary.
