The D's need to keep yelling this, all it will mean is a win for McCain.

I heard Charles Krauthammer the other day saying that he hoped McCain would go "safe" on the VP pick because he was polling so much better than anybody expected him to at this point. | |

I'm not crazy about McCain, but it's the truth. | I've criticized Obama quite a bit on this board. I am not a big fan of McCain to begin with but I like his energy plan, I told TT before, if he would put it in writing I would vote for him. | |

Hell, I would be on here with you guys if it was one of those picks or even Hutchinson (who doesn't have executive experience)... et all. | |

| My brother-in-law is not a fan of Mccain either. He is hoping something will happen to him(after two years) and Sarah take over and be our president for 10 years.
I didn't ask him about other candidates he could have chosen. He was listening to a talk show on the way home from work yesterday, and was disgusted by people calling in about Sarah's parenting, and flipped the radio station off. | |

But he is right the parenting thing is annoying. | |
