Too clever by half. No gimmicks needed to win this election.

I’m still amazed at Obama’s pick of Biden. It’s like he’s wrapping up the election with a nice bow for McCain.

Texas is tired of this person and it might help
Hussein and Robinette.

Hutchison burst onto the national scene in 1993

Slight overstatement........

This pick would be tokenism at it's worst. The only reason she's even being considered is that she's a woman. If McCain picks a moderately pro-choice woman, better Sec. Rice than Sen. Hutchison.

If McCain is going to pick a gal then I would vote for this pro-Drill Now in ANWR governor:

[DogBarkTree]

The first woman and first black POTUS will come from the GOP not the party of traitors and communists.

[BibChr]

McCain and a “moderate”/pro-abort?

The ticket to guarantee a loss of Carteresque proportions?

Yep. If he’s that eager to get to his memoirs, that’s the ticket.

(Who ARE these idiots, and what PLANET do they live on?)

[jokyfo]

Maybe. I like the 90 rating from the Conservatives.

Hutchison was indicted in the early ‘90s though. The charges were eventually dropped.

if she’s the best person for the job. I don’t want to pander to voters who vote based on somebodies estrogen levels.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson would be an awesome pick. Forget about the Clinton voters. Forget about gender. She’s a true conservative and her selection would solidify the GOP base that’s currently unsteady under McCain.

I would also love to see her in a debate with the plagiarist. She’ll turn him to toast.

The challenge for McCain is that she could easily overshadow him on the campaign trail. She’s attractive, articulate, persuasive, and a Reaganite. Of course, McCain’s unlikely to worry, given his ego.

Aside from keeping conservatives on the reservation, I think she would attract a lot of Reagan Democrats and soccer Moms. She would add to McCain’s cross over appeal.

McCain Hutchinson is a strong ticket and certainly stronger than Obama bin Biden.

Wouldn’t the Texan factor be a problem in the age of another 4 years of Bush?

[rrrod]

maybe...maybe not. Id rather see a guv as the VP than someone from this existing congress...especially the Senate.

[devane617]

Please take her!!!!!!!! away from Texas!!!

[Calpernia]

Ah, the border fence killer.

[Non-Sequitur]

Dick Morris has made a strong suggestion...

Reason enough to discount it.

[devane617]

she will be the next gov here in Texas. rebuilding the mansion for her now.

[Comanche]

In your dreams. Sen. Hutchison is a total airhead. She is going to run for Gov. of Texas and will be soundly beaten. I think!!!

[steve8714]

No, please.

[Dawgreg]

No, No, No!! :(
