The media was forcing GWB to pick someone with “gravitas”.. Richard Cheney was surprising to me, but much welcomed. Obama’s choice may turn this election, although I can't think of anyone who is a positive for him.

Unfortunately, that is correct Uncle Miltie. Great BIG Cankles, Thighs, and a Huge Left Wing all attached to it.
I can only hope that Shrillary’s ego is too big to play second fiddle to that Indonesian fellow Barry Hussein Soetoro-Obama.
The fact that Obambi isn’t up by double digits now is bad news for him and he knows it. He peaked on Super Tuesday and has gone downhill ever since. He was never properly vetted and was crowned “Messiah” by Super-Delegates and a rigged system in MI and FL.
He has NO CHANCE of winning unless he picks Her Thighness as Veep because her voters are so PO’ed and vindictive as hell...or, her quite frankly.
B.Hussein has already bent toward her will and is enabling the PUMA crowd to turn this into a carnival with the Open Floor Vote. If the faithful walk away in anger with “We are unified...” speeches by Mr. and Mrs. Billary Clinton and she isn’t VP, then “The One” will have lost them and this election.
That is the only thing I fear since his 500 advisors must have come to some concensus and invariably, knowing the Clintons, there have been threats of some sort.
Is this great new “Hope” and “Agent of Change” able to figure this all out or do they hate each other too much to team up?
The added perk of including Senator Cankles is the fact that they won’t use the Barry Soetoro/Faked BC info against him and they will bring their “cleaners” to the party as well to erase any pesky little details from long ago.
Those Commie Jackasses could actually pull it off together but divided they fall....for now.
I can only Hope he doesn’t Change and stays the same old Messianic, arrogant, and conceited cult leader who will save the world all by himself.
Godspeed.

Hillary? Kerry? Bayh? Edwards? Richardson? Rendell? Kaine?

What it shows is that Obama is indecisive. He can’t close deals and he can’t make up his mind.

It’s no wonder that Obama flips and flops on telecom immunity, public campaign financing, the surge, offshore oil drilling, and a host of other key issues...he doesn’t know where he stands from one moment to the next.

He’s an empty suit.

The only reason he’d have to pick her now...is that the statistical guys told him there is no way he can overcome McCain in 100 days. The sad thing is that he’s then stuck with her for the next eight years...and probably going to be the most miserable individual that ever served the office. He’ll constantly see Bill come in and remark about how things used to be...then he’ll have Hillary pushing for various programs.

I suspect that this story is simply a “plant” by Hillary’s folks...to bring him down a notch when he announces someone else. Her strategy is to make him lose so she can arise by 2012 and beat McCain (which I am humble in the assumption that it would be very possible).

Sorry about the other post. Wrong response to the wrong post.

Exactly though...because it shows he is WEAK. I was frankly surprised to hear them say this tonite.

I am really hoping that you are right. It’s just a matter of “who’s got the goods” because Obambi certainly doesn’t or he would have proven that he has something like an actual BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
I just can’t see him being viable if he has to explain the “Barry Soetoro” situation this late in political life.
He will have proven once and for all, beyond the shadow of the media and their ‘Rat minions that he is a fraud and a liar who cannot be trusted.

If by “lose” you mean “they’ll find a way to cheat somehow” then yes. The stump speeches in the cemeteries will be amazing...

The campaigns are poll-driven, and they're getting their data right now.

I heard today that Obama is polling in the mid-thirties here, in each congressional district.

"I can't think of anyone who is a positive for him. "

You can have the best spare tire in the world, and when you put it on a junk car, the car is STILL a junk car.

Birth certificates and nationality aside, Barry can’t make a case why he should be President. As the election gets closer, he will have to start spelling out details of his plans. The MSM/DBM will do all they can to cover for him, but the truth will come out that he is the empty suit everyone knows he is. Besides, if Democrats had popular ideas, Obama would be ahead by 20 points.

Refreshing memory of 1988 Rat convention.. Jesse Jackson got quite a few votes!

Democratic Convention

The Democratic Party Convention was held in Atlanta, Georgia from July 18 - 21. In his first major national speech, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton placed Dukakis’ name in nomination. The speech lasted for so long that some delegates began booing to get him to finish.[16]

The most memorable speech given at the Democratic Convention was by Texas State Treasurer Ann Richards, who two years later was elected the state governor. Richards uttered the famous line: “Poor George [Bush], he can’t help it, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.” Six years later, Bush’s son and future President George W. Bush would defeat Richards in her re-election campaign for Texas Governor.

With only Jackson remaining as an active candidate to oppose Dukakis, the tally for president was:

* Michael Dukakis 2687
* Jesse Jackson 1218
* Joseph Biden 2
* Richard Gephardt 2
* Gary Hart 1
* Lloyd Bentsen 1

If she’s whose VP?

Not as big as Obama would. He'd be like a bomber lemming walking around with a countdown clock over his head.
