“Black, well-spoken conservative from an eastern state - a blue one that will probably be in play with McCain. Gold.”

Nope. Lead.

Steele? You’re kidding? Or do you just want him because he’s black?

Steele lost in his OWN state, which has a large black population. If he couldn’t win THEM, how in heck do you expect him to win _other_ blacks, or other whites?

Obama would clean his clock but good.

Blacks vote for blacks, so long as they are democrats.
Whites vote for black Republicans (the “token factor”), but black Republican candidates almost never garner a decent share of the black vote.

Putting a black up as a “token candidate” is as useful as putting up a woman to be one, as well.

Haley Barbour or Rudy Giuliani.

Either one would be in the catbird seat for 2012 if McCain only serves one term, which at his age might be about right.

Apparently you missed his CPAC speech relating his record.

I recommend hunting it up on CSPAN

While skirting Atlanta last Sunday, I passed an exit to Cynthia McKinney Blvd.

I grabbed for a barf bag but the nausea passed

Somebody young from outside the gates of Washington DC.

A dynamic speaker with investment in all three legs of the conservative stool.

Somebody up thread said Michael Steele. He sounds about right.

Michael Steele isn't a token anything. He's a strong conservative with strong views and the ability to communicate same.

He's also young, dynamic and a self made man with a lot of help from a strong and loving Mother.

Don't call him a token anything.

That would be a complete disaster. Huckabee should not be a part of any administration in any way. Southerners are going to turn out to vote for McCain as it is, especially if his opponent is Barack Hussein Obama.

Tim Russert said he’s already offered it to the Huck.

Huck would jump at it if offered. He has that lean and hungry look. But what a nauseating ticket. My f*ing word.

Huckabee. It would end the primary process immediately.

It would end the general election process immediately as well.

I'm surprised at how many folks here are suggesting Huckabee in spite of the whole Wayne DuMond thing. Huck is the single worst possible pick I can think of.
