CRAWFORD — Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's long-shot prospect for vice president is getting a push from conservative and other pundits in the lead-up to next week's Republican National Convention.
The latest flurry of speculation online and on cable television constitutes at least a third or fourth wave of chatter about Hutchison, whose name surfaces occasionally as a possible Republican vice-presidential candidate...

Then I think we should chatter “PALIN!” louder.
That pick doesn’t excite me. I hope he chooses more wisely.
Kay Baily Hutchinson leans toward pro choice. This will surely come out during the campaign.
And that matters excalty how?...... Name a few VP that have had influence over the abortion issue either via legislation or executive decree?
That said I hope that she isn’t the selection.

Believe it or not, there are other issues as important as the issue of the unborn child. Among them is the issue of the 38 Million illegals in the United States with more pouring into Texas every day. Kay Bailey has done very little to keep them out and, in fact, has done nothing postive about shutting down any part of the border between Mexico and Texas. She has some dirty laundry in the fundraising area and she is as RINO as they come. You might want to take a closer look at the other areas of her voting record. She and Cornyn vote opposite on many issues thereby canceling out the Texas vote. Texas suffers enough because of her - the other 49 states deserve better.
She has said that she does not want it. But then, so did Biden!
That might be the way to go! If he picks Romney, it could sink the ticket.
Chatter. Just chatter.
Love him or hate him, Mitt Romney is clearly the most competent person in many years to offer his services for the Presidency, even though he was spurned, for facetious reasons that had no basis in fact. It is time to cut the smart-aleck remarks, and get down to the real business of studying the POSITIVE aspects of what Mitt can bring to the table.
Business acumen. Impeccable personal life. Successful management of a most intractable sort of state government, wrangling concessions and creating workable compromises from a hostile legislature. And he has amassed a considerable fortune through his own initiative, a feat once regarded as the best of the American Dream.
Meh.
I like her and Palin well enough - but not for President.
Getting a woman for the sake of getting a woman is something liberals do.
Hutchison scores 75% by the NRLC on abortion issues
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 NRLC scores as follows:
0% - 15%: pro-choice stance (approx. 174 members)
16%- 84%: mixed record on abortion (approx. 101 members)
85%-100%: pro-life stance (approx. 190 members)
If it's anybody else, I will vote for them, but I will continue giving nothing to them or the RNC.
Damn hiccups this morning.......... sheesh
And that matters excalty how?......
s/b
And that matters exactly how?......
I’m not saying it is a smart move, or a winning strategy. I said that McCain sees a potential 18 million votes. He will need to get them somewhere.
Personally, I don’t even like McCain and don’t plan on voting for him. However, I do plan on voting AGAINST Obama.
Black hair doesn't erase the fact that 61 isn't a spring chick.
Lets admit that all John McCain's back stabbing and "reaching across the aisle" and his maverick image is paying off
All this garbage has positioned him perfectly to pick up Hillary voters and other liberal flotsam and jetsam
Palin has less than two years of experience running a state with less than one million population with totally different challenges than the lower 48.
Prior to her election as governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the mayor/manager of Wasilla (As of the 2000 census, the population of the city was 5,470). During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business friendly environment, drawing in new industry.
Would have won? I wasn’t aware that Obama had been elected.
Would work as well as nominating a black Republican for the US Senate in Maryland! Oh, wait...
