Strickland if he can deliver the anti-Obama white vote, would be a good choice for the tax Bambi.
A woman for McCain would be the perfect pander moment to the mindless women out there who feel a vote for their genitalia is a reasoned decision.
Is Libby Dole still available?
Can you emagine this hate filled, commie, lib as FIRST LADY of our Country ???????????????????
Well, first smart thing I’ve heard Michelle say.
From a political point of view, hillary would have needed Obama as her VP if she won the nomination, but Obama certainly doesn’t need her.
What states would she win for him? She doesn’t really even have a home state any more, she has claimed association with so many of them.
Ted Strickland is just the sort of person he needs to choose: to reassure blue collar workers, and to gain electoral votes from a key state.
I would think that Pennsylvania and Ohio may be key states.
Is there any doubt Michelle has Barack firmly under her thumb?
Strickland’s attorney general is currently embroiled in a huge set of scandals and Strickland is doing a dance to try to get him to resign. I’m not sure if the governor’s image will be tarnished, but it certainly isn’t going to help him.
Probably someone McCain is comfortable with — like someone from the “Gang of 14” — Olympia Snowe. Unfortunately no conservative, but would bring both geographic and gender diversity to the ticket.
If Obama's stupid enough to select Hillary as VP, he's not smart enough to be President. On this one, Michelle's right.
A footnote: Support is growing in Democratic ranks for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland as vice president. He would bring to the ticket maturity (66 years old), experience (six terms in Congress) and moderation (rated "A" by the National Rifle Association).
What? The propane guy?
Just imagine having two Clintons--literally behind your back!
Ummmm, the American people are a little tired of the women who’s been running. That would carry over. McCain doesn’t need a “pander” - he needs a conservative.
LOL, I feel kind smart, because I said the same thing here yesterday (although it wouldn’t take a genius to see this :) )
gotta get dandan to give up the goods on strickland!
This is funny if you think about it.
A small part of the reason Ted Strickland won was because of voting-booth racism, i.e., people that wouldn’t vote for the black Ken Blackwell who he was running against.
So a black candidate who is weak in Ohio against McCain, picks the VP who beat the black guy in 2006.
Granted, this is a VERY SMALL part of the reason Blackwell lost, but in Obama’s race-imbalanced candidacy it’s kinda funny.
If you believe it is likely, you should go over to Intrade and make yourself some money. Currently, people are paying about 3 bucks on the proposition that Strickland becomes the veep nominee. If he does, the contract closes at 100 bucks, for a handsome profit of over 30 to 1.
Right now, at least on Intrade, the favorites for v.p. are Hillary, followed by Jim Webb.
I agree with Mrs. Obama on this. I don’t blame her either. AFter all the nasty, low down things hillleree tried...if it were my husband I would be saying the same things too. DO NOT pick hilllereee...
If Ted Strickland is on the Democrat ticket, it could be enough to make Ohio lean to the Democrats.
Choosing Strickland does make sense for Obama from a political point of view.
