I will be SO happy if it’s not Bombney.
This is a complete disaster pick. just think of the headlines and the new direction this could have all gone if he had picked Palin. A strong women conservative. Instead he picks a boring nobody from an upper mid west state.
Hello President Obama.
I have heard the same thing with Palin which would make the Dems heads explode — Governor and a woman! My sources said who it wasn’t going to be and left the rest to guess.
Schtick's old, Fred.
"Pawlenty will not carry MI or probably MN."
Perhaps not.
"Romney can carry MI"
No proof of that whatsoever. No member of his family has won a majority of the vote for an office there in 42 years. His mother lost in the single greatest landslide for a Republican for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan history.
"and he can also handle Biden in the debates."
What fun. They can one up each other in the bullcrap department. They're both masters. The poor audience will be buried alive.
Pawlenty seems too be a decent guy, but not a political heavyweight. I'm concerned about how he will fare against Biden.
McCain should pick someone who is perceived as being capable immediately assuming the role of POTUS in the event he cannot finish his term of office, which at his age is a greater concern than it will be with Obama.
To be honest, Pawlenty doesn't strike me as someone ready to be POTUS. Of course, Obama doesn't seem ready to be POTUS either and there is the problem with picking Pawlenty, or Palin or Cantor for that matter. They may be good up and coming conservatives, but are they ready for the immense responsibilities and challenges of being President at this stage of their careers?
If you are going to declare Obama unfit for office because he lacks the experience to be President you can't pick a young VP who also lacks enough experience for that position.
Romney would be the better choice.
See, now, you just hate LSD members. Yup, yessirrebob.
Oh, wait...
LDS.
Nevermind. Muh bad.
Hmmm... Romney making a little comeback on InTrade.
ABM
Pawlenty dropping like a rock on InTrade. It ain’t gonna be him. Numbers don’t add up - someone else must be getting some action!
I have been told it is not Romney, Ridge, or LIEberman earlier this evening but I also think it is not going to be Pawlenty from info received not too long ago. My guess is Palin or Cantor now. A lot of disinformation being spread but my money is on Palin until the next email.
I’m with you...that’s where my money would be. Honestly, that’s what I hope he does too. It just feels right.
Huckabee not going to Dayton per FOX. Does that point to Romney?? Or not??
“I think that Lieberman is being used as a decoy so that conservatives will swallow someone like Pawlenty.”
I believe you are right.
Of course, point that out to his unhinged supporters that you’re judging him as an individual and nothing more and they’ll still call you anti-Mormon... no diff than “You’re racist if you don’t support Obie.” All a big steaming pile...
Darnit Nana!! You had me googling “Michelle Steele” hoping to see a hottie! ;)
Huck’s attacks on Romney over the last few days leads one to believe that he thinks its going to be Romney.
Paelenty's position is that of a liberal RINO bum.
I take offense at that comment. I married a Mormon and never found her to be bigoted in any way.
