McCain to announce his VP choice today

[warpedskydiver 0]

Well, apparently McCain does not need all the pageantry and ancient greek motif in order to tell us who his running mate is.

Sometimes less is more.

It will be either Sarah Palin, or Joe Lieberman.

I predict it is Lieberman.

Shit. I was hoping for Sarah Silverman!


I'd've settled for Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Imagine if a strong Texan woman had been on the ticket. Everything Hillary should have been, and better. Get the women vote. Get the conservative vote... Woulda been sweet. What a dunce for McCain to not go that route.

I predict Palin.

I predict Palin.

I think it would be a very wise tactical move to go with a woman. Obama gave up that chance. McCain still has it.

(I have never heard of this Palin before, though.)

I agree it is a wiser choice, but something keeps telling me he will pick Lieberman.

I have read a little about her when I was looking at travel sites for Alaska when I was looking into a hunting trip up there. From what I have read she seems like she might be a good choice. But what do I know?

Then Sarah Silverman will still be available to be nominated to sit on my face!

Ask her, she just might do it!

Palin would be a better choice.

With a McCain/Lieberman ticket, you've got NEO-CONS in huge flashing neon lights.

also blatantly tactical - you know they said that Obama picking
another woman than Hillary for VP would have been a much
worse affront than picking e.g. Biden.

McCain just did that (if the rumors true) -- Palin as "consolation
price" for Hillary supporters does not seem like a very convincing
sell in the long run.

For their supporters Hillary stod a movement for many and it was
for the number one slot (The VP talk later was more like asking
for final respects after the lost bid for the #1 slot)

Palin doesn't match that even remotely -- this is more like the
Ferraro Pick of Mondale in 1984 -- laced with very transparent
political motives. Easy to pick apart ...

Cheers, T
