MRS. PALIN

Already nominated for President. Who do you believe she should choose for the VP candidate?

Well, anyone with enough Senate experience to look like a good VP choice is going to be "old" to you, maybe even "used-up".

Personally, I favor a Fred Thompson/Sarah Palin ticket, on the theory that people know they'd get one real President ready to go for now, and another who'll be ready in four years. It'd be a 12-year ticket, IOW. Maybe Sarah can do it by herself at the top of the ticket, she certainly has the moxie, but she'll need help, and Fred could help her a lot on the bottom of the ticket, because as a VP candidate he'd be game-day ready from the git.

VP candidates? Lugar too associated with the Bush crowd, too compromised, ACU ratings slumping. Other GOP senators? Not enough name recognition, except ex-senator Rick Santorum, who brings the hatefest liabilities with him that Sarah also suffers from (gays hate his guts for having morals; after they beat him by throwing San Francisco bathhouse money at his opponent [better use gloves with that, buddy], the scumbags gloated in real time on the Net over his little girl's crying while daddy made his concession speech).

Who else we got? John Kyl's certainly conservative enough, but he's been in McCain's shadow and hasn't enough name recognition. Bill Frist? Compromiser. Rick Perry? God save us from that phony-talkin' light-loafered RiNO goobernor! Richard Shelby? I dunno, does anyone know him outside Alabama? Ditto the Virginia and Carolina Republicans. Mel Martinez is bright green. Mitch McConnell, old, tired, and sold-out, the very emblem of K Street.

Who else?

Tim Pawlenty? Who's he? Michelle? Too much like Sarah, we need balance. J.C. Watts? I dunno, kick his name around a bit. How conservative is he?
