No thanks.

[Maceman]

Uh, no.

.They'd love King, a 64-year-old...

The combined age of our ticket is older than an Honus Wager rookie card?

[penelopesire]

I suppose King is better than the last name NRO tossed out last week:.....’a democrat’!!

(eye roll)

[kjo]

He can’t carry New York, so what’s the point?

[moose2004]

I like King, he’s smart, quick witted, tough and a deficit hawk. I’d support him enthusiasticly, though if I were McCain I would announce my intentions to run for only one term before tapping someone 64 years old to be my running mate.

I think Peter King rejects amnesty for illegals. If so, McCain would not pick him.

[tubebender]

Only slightly better than THE ARNOLD from Collyfawnia...

"Only five Democrats voted to impeach: Gene Taylor of Mississippi, Charles W. Stenholm and Ralph M. Hall of Texas, Virgil H. Goode Jr. of Virginia and Paul McHale of Pennsylvania. The Democratic defectors were offset by five Republicans who voted against impeachment: Constance A. Morella of Montgomery County, Christopher Shays of Connecticut, Amo Houghton and Peter T. King of New York, and Mark E. Souder of Indiana."

That would be the final straw for me on McCain.

This is an interesting idea, one that I never thought of. I'm not thrilled with Peter King, but he does bring some assets to the table. Personally, I'm ambivalent about this idea. I don't know what others will think.

Your thoughts?

Huh?

I know this is a pipe dream, but I surely wish he would convince Fred Thompson to run. I heard Thompson on Mark Levin's show a few days ago. Most people don't vote for Vice President anyway, but Thompson still explains issue after issue better than any candidate I have heard in my life. He's a guy who could help when he can get the press focused on him.

[supremedoctrine]

Excellent! I wouldn’t have thought of him, and the only apparent reason he didn’t come to mind is because the Press has been selling us Pawlenty, Romney, Huckabee, Crist.....Yet King is one of the few politicians I look forward to listening to when the camera and microphone swing to his way.His exposure over the last several years, especially since 9-11 has been steady and gradual in such a way to suggest he’s not some media creation (like Obama) who we’re meant to think is going somewhere.
He is PERFECT. He is a highly skilled politician with REAL principled stands, and best of all, he’s extremely articulate and may in fact be better than anyone in communicating with the press and knowing what to say in an interview. It’s the IDEAL choice, if McCain makes it!

[ditto h]

I like Peter King.

I am not voting for McCain, but think King is ok.

[firebrand]

King is excellent on national security. Remember, he has to get reelected in his district, so he can’t vote 100% ACU. He is one of the two Republican New York congressmen south of Syracuse, so is trying to stay in office (the other is Fossella). I would suggest sending him $$ for his congressional run this year. (I was sick over the impreachment vote too.)
