When McCain Drops Out
« on: June 19, 2008, 05:11:28 PM »
I find this INTRIGUING.............

http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20080616/cm_huffpost/107236%3B_ylt%3DAm9CznRX4faDGxJ6tAydi6ce6sgF

a new take on bait and switch?

As it stands right now I am having a difficult time voting for either Rep or Dem!

IF..........

this were to happen is there one that you would choose from those listed?

Is there one you would choose that isn't listed?

I want Powell to run with Condi as vice-president.

Tell me, just tell me that wouldn't win over any other candidates.

I was begging for Hucakbee from the go so I'd love to see him actually get the nod.

The only one on that list I see having even a remote chance is Powel.
Possibly with Huckabee as VP

Rice I think rubs too many people the wrong way to be a viable VP.
Plus she's black.
I think the people would accept a black Pres. or VP.
but not both

Id love to see Condi be McCains VP....

the problem for mccain is one of perception.  it's the same thing as kennedy v. nixon.  it isn't going to play well for mccain on television.

for this reason, vice presidents can help...for instance, i think that condi could hold her own against mccain...but she is going to be seen as a "staffer" not as a power player.

i don't think that condi would beat obama on the mat.

the only person out of that list that really has even the slightest possibility for being either vp or pres against obama, is powell.

i can't see any other person on that list that EVERYBODY can get around. 

i'd love to see him do it.  love it.

Powell is the only one of them worth anything that could possibly pull any swing voters. That's the key, the only way a Republican or a Democrat will win is by pulling the most swing voters. Powell is the only one that I'd even consider voting for and before the Iraq fiasco I would have defiantly voted for him. Himself and George Telnet were the only one's with the President's ear that stood up and said Iraq should not be the target. Then at the last min Powell caved in and made his speech at the UN. That made me lose a lot of respect for him because he damn sure knew he was supporting a BS war.

Rice not a chance in hell, she should be rounded up with the rest of the Wolfowitz/Chenny/Rumpsfield gang and hanged for treason to the nation.

Romney & Huckabee.. well there is a reason they are no longer in the race..

Bloomberg.. yea right..

Crist.. he's my Governor yet I wouldn't know it.. WTF has he done.. nothing.

The rest I have no clue who they are..

I wish they put in Mitt Romney, he woulda been better for the economy.

all things considered...that we've heard very little about him is probably a good thing.

i think that he's doing just fine here in florida.

no scandals to speak of...no turmoil.  all is well in tallahassee.
