Pence is not really a long shot. He was mentioned for the 2008 race but did not run.
Petraeus, maybe. Joe, no.
I’d rather see Petraeus as Cheney’s VP before running for president on his own in 2016.
The first time I noticed Mike Pence was 2006 when he rode in, John McCain-like, with a stealth plan to save amnesty, just as it was practically defeated.
The stealth amnesty of Mike Pence
It'd take a lot for me to ever support that guy. He's always very underwhelming, sort of like his fellow Hoosier Republican in the Senate. No Wows from me.
You've got to be effen kiddin' me.
I like that!
....I don't think so.
I don’t think we need to hold Sarah Palin accountable for any of the choices made by the idiots on McCain’s team. Do you really believe she had the choices of where to go, who to speak to, who to interview with, what TV show to be on...remember when she wanted to go to Michigan and try to save that state but McCain wouldn’t allow her...he, instead, gave in and cried “DEFEAT”. She was the FIRST to cry out SOCIALISM....no other candidate made that statement...and she was right on!!
Scarborough?
Not only “no” but “HELL NO!!!”
This guy is no Republican.
Why not Mika as his vp if we are being truly insane?
Jeff Sessions from Alabama....have you read his statements on various issues? He’s not afraid to speak out nor speak his mind and he is a Conservatist.
LOL...More like Morning Joke.
And Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t?
"Obama" is different, but not necessarily funny in the same way "Corker" is.
The "name" theory is not definitive, of course ... Obama had other factors in his favor, though, which fed the same feelings-based voter response.
Corker is yet another prime example of what's wrong with the national GOP. The RNC keeps on interfering in state party choices to favor spineless unprincipled RINOs (particularly on social issues) on the deleriously insane theory of "electability." Jesse Helms holds a North Carolina Senate seat for four terms (without notable ideological weakness and with a full measure of testosterone). When time has taken too much of a toll on Jesse and he retires, the RNC's Keystone Kops come charging in to see to the nomination of Giddy Dole, She's RICH! She's married to withered Bob! She came to DC as an aide to LBJ! She's safe and will not rock the boat! She'll protect our wealth (and hers) but without all that embarrassing social issue stuff! Etc.
Repeat with that woman senator from Texas (Hutchinson?), Corker, LAMAR!!!, Lindsay Graham, Mel Martinez, LightLoafers Crist, Pro-abort Isakson and numerous others. They have been successfully working to make Muffy and Skipper down at the polo club and Junior League socially comfortable with Senate candidates of the GOP (gentlemen of polo) because mindless materialist upper class white folks need a party of their very own.
The formula is to apply mind-boggling amounts of campaign funds early and pre-emptively to keep the commoners at bay and then have the "Republican" candidate run one degree to the right of the Demonrat candidate and tell conservatives that we have nowhere else to go.
We keep falling for this and the results are obvious.
Ok, sounds like another RHINO senator from Tennessee. At least Corker is not in Centrist Coalition..What’s wrong with senators from TN??
I understand that in NY or MN, it may be necessary to run some Centrist Coalition RHINO but most of the RHINOs in Senate Centrist Coalition seem to be from TN, GA, SC..
I was going to say the same thing.
Wasn’t Scarborough friends with the CA congressman (can’t come up with a name right now) who was involved with Chandra Levy? I seem to remember that Scarborough resigned from the House about then. He and the CA congressman were buddies who partied together perhaps? If he runs for anything all that will be brought up again.
Where’s the BARF alert?
