Okay, McCain, You Can Start Worrying Now


I had to read this headline twice-- I wasn't sure I'd actually read it right. Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel has said that he'd consider an offer to be vice-president not for fellow Republican Senator/Vietnam War vet John McCain, but Democrat Barack Obama. Here's the story about it:

I hate to get mean so early, but I'll add that the New York Times is reporting that Obama has a double digit lead in polls over McCain, 51-36 percent.

Please, please-- I blew out all the candles on my birthday cake this year; can I get my wish that McCain picks Lieberman, Romney or Huckabee as his running mate, just to make absolutely certain that he'll lose?

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Let's hope so -- though Chickapee signed on for Fox$$$$$$

    Lieberman can then be the kiss of death twice ;->

    Almost no one likes Romney as a candidate, not even Michiganders.

    p.s. I love Chuck H!

    GObama!

    Hagel's statements don't surprise me at all. He's the genuine Republican maverick nowadays, not McCain.

    That is pretty amazing, when was the last time that a president and vice president were not of the same party...

    Andrew Johnson ;->

    Thomas Jefferson before that?

    He's no Hannibal Hamlin...

    I was hoping for the Kerry-McCain Vietnam National Unity ticket in 2004. Alas . . .

    I think McCain/Huckabee has a great ring to it. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

    Oh, wait, even better maybe--McCain/Giuliani!
