So it seems everyone is predicting Romney

[D2bets]

to be named as McCain's VP....

Would he more than double the number of houses on that ticket???

 

[tiznow]

makes the most sense

1,2 punch on the two top issues this election

economy and foreign policy

don't know much about the pawlenty guy though

think obama's choice was stupid but we shall see not gonna bring any fiscally conservative democrats over with that ticket

basically have to hope enough people looking for handouts IMO with obama/biden

and obama taking biden i think makes romney's chances even better and intrade agrees up to 63%

 

[tiznow]

bottom line without bush fucking everything up

obama would be totally hopeless

and also bush is the reason obama got the nod over hillary in the first place

the young people's anti bush hatred (and hatred for the establishment) got obama over the hump

even though obama a tool and his "change" is nothing but hot air IMO

 

[Chenmen]

i like jindal big.

 

[D2bets]

I think Romney would not match up well debating against Biden. Biden will tear him apart. Romney comes off as slick and elitist and can seem defensive. Biden would make him sweat.

I don't know why Romney is some expert of economics. Why, because he made a lot of money?

 

[tiznow]

well he's gotta be better than the rest of that crew

plus there's a ton of technical shit to discuss need to have a good economic knowledge with all the craziness going on right now what to do about fannie and freddie for example

from what i know about biden his solution is the normal solution bailout the homeowners more government

i think bayh woulda tore romney a new asshole and had a good governor record WITH tax cuts to back it up

 

[Chenmen]

If you don't think McCain holds grudges, you don't know John McCain.

He smirked as he heard the former Massachusetts governor's assertion that McCain wanted to allow illegal immigrants to remain permanently in the United States.
Asked how he intended to respond, the Arizona Republican said: "Never get into a wrestling match with a pig. You both get dirty -- and the pig likes it."


Mitt Romney is a pig.

[tiznow]

yeah that's the big issue with romney

that past shit between the two

main reason i think he wouldn't be the guy

 

[Chenmen]

Tiz, here is how I see it right now.

John McCain needs a young face with him. John McCain needs someone who is a boy wonder of the South. John McCain needs someone who is a religious bible thumper. John McCain needs a minority with him. John McCain needs Bobby Jindal.



And on the third day of the GOP Convention where the VP is the final speaker, there are two possible VP's selected to speak. Bobby Jindal and Mitt Romney.

 

[tiznow]

although i agree too D2 now that i think about it more

regardless of what i think about biden's solutions to our problems

he seems like a very forceful sharp guy that could really make romney look like a whimp

 

[D2bets]

I think Biden is making McCain rethink the Romney thing. McCain really wants to take Ridge, but he just can't do it.

 

[Chenmen]

And if you think this will disenfranchise the KKK voter, you are correct.

But if you think the KKK voter would rather see a black man in the front leading the country rather than a "Native American" man in the back behind Mr Caucausian himself, you are a fool.

Honestly, how can he pick a Mormon? McCain also INFURIATED many Conservatives when he said he would be alright with picking a pro abortion VP.


Jindal.. he just voted against the Gays and Lesbians in LA by letting the special discrimination against Gays expire.


Jindal is the real Conservative voice.

 

[tiznow]

i think mccain has given up on the bible thumpers

this election will be won with the independents

the run of the mill average joe republican that only votes that way is already gonna vote mccain and many will push the mccain button as they are about to puke just due to how liberal obama is on top of the black hussein obama issue.....

your bible thumper isn't gonna vote for obama at worst they vote 3rd party

the fight this election is for the guys in the middle of the road

 

[Chenmen]

What I truly do not know about is whether or not Jindal would be able to debate Mr loud mouth himself Biden.

Jindal is afterall a Oxford Rhodes scholar who went to Brown.

 

[PatPatriot]

Now that Biden is officially dem VP.

Put a little spare change on Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

 

[D2bets]

McCain can't win without the "base", the hardcore religious right folks. If he alienates them the election is over.

so who brings the most Independents? I agree with this statement 100% btw

 

[tiznow]

also we'll see how big a thorn bob barr is in mccain's side as well

that could win obama the election in the end

lot of variables

 

[tiznow]

what are they gonna do?

other than vote 3rd party?

and in america today its "a wasted vote" to most

obama's extreme liberalism as well as all the racist issues will make most of them hit the mccain button with clothpins over their nose

plus alot of supreme court shit is coming up

and the last thing the bible thumpers want is dems with full control

 

[Chenmen]

hell the reason bush is in office is republicans always show up on voting day. lazy liberals that want to blame everything on anything lose because of their inclination to just sit back and whine while not diong something
