“California State Sen. Tim McClintock thinks Sen. John McCain should choose his former primary opponent, Fred Thompson for his running mate.”
No thanks, Fred was a major disappointment during the primaries, plus the MSM would trash a McCain/Thompson ticket as too old and tired.
I agree.
Thompson had his chance and as in the hare (and the turtle) fable waited..and waited..and waited...and then finally bombed.
The geriatric ticket?
Have you seen what McCain looks like on the stump? All that white hair, pale skin, and big dark wrap around sunglasses that look like what old geezers in the home wear when they go outside after cataract surgery. Good grief, it looks like the Republican party nominee was picked out of the Alzheimer’s wing. And the issue of his age is coming up again and again in the media and among voters. Add old, sick Thompson with his terminal cancer to the ticket and we’ve lost for certain.
The obvious choice is, as it’s always been, Mitt Romney. He should have been the nominee, but, unfortunately, aged Florida voters had the final say and they picked one of their own. And now he’s proving to be as disorganized and lackluster as he was in the primaries. We’re cooked.
