I don't see bayh bringing obama indiana.

Indiana is a very purple state, but one of the things that everyone in indiana, well, people who've ever been to chicago, while living in indiana tend to hate, it's chicago politics.

Chosing bayh won't just not do obama any good, but will do bayh a lot of harm.

All three of these would be welcome picks from a GOP standpoint. Sebelius and Biden will send the Hillbots into fits of gnarlacious frothing rage. Bayh is a yawner. He'd be a more attractive candidate if he had been in and left Congress and was today serving as a governor, not the other way 'round.

Biden's a loser from day one, might as well chose schumer, at least schumer can lend some armor when obama starts to turn right, if obama ever learns how to do it without sounding like a retard.

Or rather, like I did when I was in second grade, stuttering like a retard when required to read aloud in class.

Good on you obama, you sound like a drunken lunatic, when he was 8 years old, intimidated by large groups.

"So, Senator, what is your opinion of an individuals right to bear arms?"

"M-O-O-N, That Spells Tom Cullen,and Tom Cullen is for Change!"

"M-O-O-N, That Spells Tom Cullen,and Tom Cullen is for Change!"

And wickedpinto keeps teh funnay even while on his meds! Sweet, I was worried you were gonna go all Robin Williams on us.

Welcome back.

 If Obama picks some lame leftie white guy, and McCain picks Palin, this thing is sewn up.

But if Obama picks Sebelius, and then McCain picks Palin, we are treated to weeks of "the Republicans are just 'me too' on a female VP nominee".  I am so sick of us reacting, or being portrayed to be through the lens of the MSM.

DO IT NOW, MAVERICK.  PICK PALIN.  NOW.

BrokGrowBarRock,

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN!?  Not your post, your name, at least mine, can elicit speculation, That moniker means something, but I cannot fathom what it might be without an explanation.

As for carrying indiana, just cuz gary is SAID! to be the second most populous, and just because Indy, IS the most populous, you forget the way in which they keep track of geographical populations.

Gary, which I live VERY close to, is liberal, only because of the dominance of blacks, but the whites, and mexicans (the mexicans are SKYROCKETING in gary) in gary are fucking sick of the corruption, so while the broad demographic is left, the refined (remember it's statewide) is turning against the left, also remember that in the last . . . . 9 presidential elections have shown that polls have been off by as muchas 5% in their assumptions, (I'm wrong about the 5, but it was more than 5% in ohio last time) so basicaly national, and state polls always lean dem.

Also, our current governor, daniels, managed to not just pay teachers, but increase income, reduce waste at the state universities, and turn an (I'm gonna fuck this up) almost 4 billion dollar deficit, into a damn near balanced, and likely create a surplus.

If indiana is actually up for grabs, then that is an IMPORTANT point, that every indiana rep, and state rep needs to make.

Also, while NW IN politics dominate the majority of the state (they do, cuz we get a LOT of money from people who work in chicago, a LOT!) and even more than money we get media, Indiana which is still a largely rural income (not lifestyle, but income) don't trust those folks from the big city, while watching flatscreen HD TV's in their gigantic farmhouses, realizing that THEY will be treated like big city folk in taxation.

Trust me.

I am broke, and don't have a job.

Indiana is McCain, and if Obama Chose Bayh, Bayh will not have a job, I will lay the wager.

While talking to Sobek, famous of the IB, I mentioned to Sobeks wife, that I heard a recommendation from one of the pundits (I forget now, I mentioned this in february) that McCain was courting Huckabee, Sobek's wife's eyes widened and said "don't tell (sobek)"

Well, I'm me, so I told sobek.

There was as close to a fury that a nice guy (a VERY nice guy btw) like sobek can have, and sobek made it clear he MIGHT vote for McCain, but not if it was McCain/huckabee.

Then I mentioned how thompson openly endorsed McCain, and I saw almost the same response.

I don't know, you would have to ask Sobek, but I don't think his opinion is unique.  It might have to do with "principles" something many politicians, and politophiles are ignorant of.

Pawlenty would be a fine pick for McCain.  He pretty much eviscerated Kaine when they appeared on that Sunday morning taking head show, and he would humiliate any of the folks on Kristol's list in a debate.

I don't know much about Bayh.  I've heard he isn't an absolute dumbass though.  If that's true, he may have just declined Barry's offer.  Hell, even Chuck Hagel caught on to the fact that things aren't too swell in Obamaland.

Bayh isn't retarded, he's a pussy.

I explained this to Mesa, he went off on a tear one time (how do you spell it?  "tear?" "tere" tare?, whatever) about how indiana as a moderately "red state" (btw, you notice that the MSM has assigned us RED? as in commy?  I think it was deliberate, to use the red white and blue concept, to deflect the RED concept attached to communism to the 'Pub's, but since it's supposedly a "red white and blue" theme, why aren't the undefined states, WHITE, rather than purple?   See?  a simple man can see complex motivations.)

Anyways, Mesa was in a . . . okay, fit, but fit isn't accurate, he was perfectly rational, about why indiana keeps electing republicans, but they trusted bayh, and so on.

Well, the reason is, (as I said) we are a truly balanced state, unfortunately, thats not always a good thing, thing is most of our 'pub's are Pussy's, but benefit, is that most of our dem's are rationale.  Unfortunately, most of our dem's are also one issue politicians, I know one of them personaly.

Bayh will NOT, and NEVER WILL sell next to Obama.

Bayh works in Indiana, as a pussy, as a false centrist, but NEVER as the right hand of a leftist.

I can't see any reason why Hillary would accept the VP offer.  If I was her I'd already have my plan to depose Dingy Harry as Senate Majority Leader.  It's no compliment to Hillary that I think she'd do a much better job.  And Senate Majority Leader is a hell of a lot more powerful than VPOTUS.

And if she's VPOTUS and Obama somehow wins the election, he's gonna majorly fuck up...and she goes down with his ship for good.

no way--she didn't put up with BJC for all those years to humiliate herself (accepting VP) for the chance to be destroyed politically by aligning herself with Obama.

MOST STUPID RECOMMENDATION FOR VP.  Bobby Jindal.

He is too young, too inexperienced, Just like Obama.

Unlike Obama, he is strong, and principled.

Bobby has a future, a GREAT one, but it is WAY too soon.

When I was in (I'm referencing my service to prove I'm WP) I was VERY GOOD, but because I was so good, you think the commandant would say "HEY!  Wicked ROCKS! lets make him AComm?

NO!

That is the beauty of obama, an untested participant, not even warrior, just participant, being assigned general.

Obama, based on experience, isn't even a SOLDIER of politics, he's barely a camp follower.

I can't see any reason why Hillary would accept the VP offer.

Nor I.

This is a one term presidency

2. What loss-guranteeing horror of a VP pick will McCain throw into our faces?

Huckabee. Only guy I can think of who'd probably have me openly rooting for McCain to lose.

When was the last 1 term presidency followed with a presidency of an individual of the same party?

Obama is WAY TOO BAD to be trusted at all, I think that nixon, and garfield are the only failed candidates to have achieved the position a second time.

But I don't think there is any history of a 1 term presidency, not being immediately followed by a 2 term presidency of a member of the other party.

Honestly?  I could have stomached a hillary presidency, so that whoever is next on the 'Pub side can hold 2 terms.

But It's a gamble with McCain, and I will take it, ONLY because Obama, will do WAY too much damage.

I can't see any reason why Hillary would accept the VP offer.

Nor I.

This is a one term presidency

Big assumption is that he'll win, isn't it? American's aren't that foolish.

"Big assumption is that he'll win, isn't it? American's aren't that foolish."

Americans elected Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton.

A number of whom were worse than Obama.

You think McCain is gonna win two?

I wasn't talking about one party.  I was talking about one election.

As ridiculous as it sounds,

It will be McCain, (R) and a Democrat to be named later, in 2012.

Obama Can't be trust for the next four, and Over the next four, the Dem's will be proved that they can't either.

BIDEN?!?!?

The Democratic option for the "Straight Talk Express?"

Thats like the "pro-life option of NARAL."

FUCK BIDEN!!!

People think biden is a loud mouth cuz he's tough.

HE's an IDIOT!!!

THANK YOU JIM!!!

he was also treated, by modern "historians" as a gay man, because he was a bachelor.

Wasn't it garfield who broke the Union Rail and broke the strike?

I can't remember shit, I'm WAY behind my research, this is my first day back.

 THAT!!!!!!!!

Was a MAJOR act!!!

I predict Barry picks Tim Kaine, who is the only man who likes Obama nearly as much as Obama likes Obama.  I was leaning toward Sam Nunn based upon the B.'s answer to his "three wise men" question in Saddlebrook... but it's true.  Sam Nunn would accentuate Barack's empty suit status.  So I say, Kaine.

Either that, or he'll decide by an American Idol-style text message voting scheme.

And while we're on the topic, it won't be Sarah Palin who John S. McCain picks as his cholostomy bag-caddy- it'll be Charlie Crist.  I've believed it since January 29th when Crist threw the Florida primary to his pal McCain, and I will continue to believe it until it becomes a matter of fact rather than a matter of belief.

Best regards

All a head fake. It's Hillary.

Great to see you back, WP!

Seems to me that the 1000-lb gorilla in the room is still Hillary. Like it or not, an Obama-Clingon ticket would make a lot of people happy.

I just hope her ego and his ego are too big to be on the same stage, let alone the same ticket.

He's worried about the Midwest- Sebelius makes some sense. That said, that's a whole lot of upheaval on one ticket. That makes Kaine make more sense- he wants Virginia bad, and Kaine will likely yield him Virginia.

We'll see...

And good to have you around, even on a limited basis, Wicked... the world's more interesting with you in it.

Joanie PJM?

I'm lipstick you bastards, not bulldyke.

Hillary?  Michelle would have a screaming fit if he picked Hillary.  There would be dishes flying every which way.  Knives, ashtrays, books...

She would be slicing open sofas and chairs.  It would be World Wars IV, V and VI.

Obama/Sebelius '08

Because We Have Funny Names™

What kind of work do you do? We might be hiring at my job soon.

Can't wait for this conversation. I'll bring the popcorn.
