Hutchison is also older, and she seems a little dull. However, she has so much experience. She’s not perfect, but she’s earned my respect over the years. I would have felt very comfortable with her as VP, and I would have felt like she could be President if need be.
I forgot to add a few more:
Haley Barbour (sp??) (I thought he handled Katrina very well, especially compared to Blanco.)
and my all time favorite pick:
General Patreous (sp?) (but he probably should stay where he’s at right now.)
Yep, I’d go with the general too, but the election will hinge on the economy no matter how important the war is. Barbour is good but male and McCain needed a hail mary pick.
That would not have been something you would have to worry about...with her on the ticket, Obama might as well be sworn in now and we could all forget the misery of a General. ... because as you said, Hutchison is also older, and she seems a little dull. and would have inspired and energized no one!
