Possible GOP vice presidents

If the Democrats lose, what's the early line on excuses? Racism? Sexism? Ongoing electoral incompetence?

 

The base doesn't really matter, unless they supremely piss it off and it goes for some third-party yahoo. What matters is the ones in the middle, same as always. And I really don't think you appeal to those guys by sending out Mr. 9/11. You'd basically have two candidates who feel that Bush was right on, and that ain't the message to be sending. And as others have said, Mayor Mc-9/11 won't take it anyway.

I've mentioned before that I think McCain takes Florida easy because of the senior connection. If he still feels it's in doubt, though, Crist or Martinez would sew it up.

Is there anyone in Ohio on either side who could cinch that state and have nationwide appeal?

 

It was common knowledge (or at least CW) after Perot in 1992. Didn't stop the Nader folks in 2000.

And the GOP has created a lot of single-issue voters on immigration and abortion. They nominate McCain, who doesn't hate brown people enough, and Giuliani, who doesn't think life begins at conception, and then get a pro-life, anti-immigration third party candidate?

Like I said, he'd get 20 percent.
Maybe 10. But hell, his 5 is enough to cost them the election.

He goes out on his own, which he's got the coin to do, they are screwed. Whoever the GOP nominee is better get ready to kiss some serious ass.

 

Cheating.

 

I thought that fell under ongoing electoral incompetence. No?

 

I'm not sure the majority around here is indicative of what the "middle" thinks.

 

Amen to that.

 

Who says Bush/Cheney will even allow us to hold an election come November? I wish some sports book would let me put $20 on that prop bet.

 

And the SportsJournalists.com middle speaks [/ducking].

 

I'll take that bet: 20 bucks says there will be an election. Deal?

 

Prop bets usually carry odds, pally. You gonna give him odds?

 

I'll give him 5 trillion to one.
