McCain bashing from the far left, sorry progressives, which I'm sure many will agree with.

Did hell just freeze over? No? Then I’m quite sure it’s not yet time for Republicans to start taking advice from a malicious hard-core socialist like Nichols....

This is an interesting idea, and one that never occured to me. If the drive-by media isn’t able to do the Dan Quayle treatment on him, he could be a good choice.

Good point, but Paul Ryan as VP is an interesting idea. Nicholas may be plugging his home state more than anything else.

Why does Bush/Quayle spring immediately to mind, here? I don’t know much about Ryan, but he’d better be an exemplary speller and public speaker, if he’s to be on the ticket.

Who the hell is “Phil Ensign” ?

I don’t know Ryan, but Nichols and the Capital Times are as far left as you can get so I don’t think McCain will be taking their advice. Interesting to see what the Congressman is about from those who do know him, and I’m sure will show up.

The left picked our Presidential nominee and now they are trying to pick our VP?

That's exactly what I thought too. When I saw how young he was, Dan Quayle immediately came to mind.
I think that someone THAT young is a terrible idea--as it only serves to HIGHLIGHT and put even more focus on how old McCain really is!

We need Ryan here to defeat Doyle in 2010.
Besides, McCain is going to have to choose a Governor. I would prefer if McCain chooses Mike Rounds of SD. He's only 53, young and is conservative enough but appeals to the mainstream. If he chooses Rounds, or Sanford, then yeah, I'd vote for McCain, although I'll still need several shots of Jack's.

I cannot disagree with the title of this piece, but The VP to McCain means nothing.
Getting rid of RINOs is all I care about.
I won’t vote for Mccain no matter who he puts on the ticket. If it is a true conservative, I might vote if McCain switches places on the ticket.

I have no idea. Could be Phil English of Pennsylvania.

Mike Rounds is an interesting idea, but South Dakota is not a swing state or one with a lot of electoral votes. Also, some conservatives are irked at him for not running against Tim Johnson.

“Frank Lautenberg’s age doesn’t seem to bother the left...”
Not until it suits them to bring it up.
BTW, I read that Nelson Mandela took up the Presidency of South Africa when he was 76 and ruled for 5 years. Is anyone on the left saying he wasn’t fit for office at his age? Thought not.
To: LucyT
That's a scary picture!
Still, he sounds really good. McCain would do well to pick an energetic conservative. I like this Ryan fellow.
