He spoke at my graduation from the U in 2004. He was dryer than Catherine's turkey in the film Christmas Vacation.

He called our house last week.

No way.

Mitt was on Fox last night looking very Vpresidential, and giving all the usual Vpresidential lines.

McCain desperately needs to boost his social/religious conservative credibility, and Lieberman/Ridge are not the way to do it.

Tom Ridge is responsible for moving TSA into the DHS. What an asshole. TSA has ruined air travel.

I vote we change the name of the dept. of homeland security to "fatherland security." Wait, state security might be even better -- SS for short.

Very true. McCain gotta do what McCain gotta do.

Maybe he'd be trying to bring Penn into the Repub column, all the while losing states in the south where the base stays home.

Some guy from Time Magazine was on CNN this morning and his opinion was that it's going to be Romney.

Same with some other conservative guy on the radio this afternoon.

I don't care who he picks, cause he's not winning. Even though some are starting to see through the Obama hyperbole, it's probably too late.

It would seem the public is starting to disagree with you about McCain and his ability to manage the economy:

If McCain wants to confirm to voters that he'd do a better job with the economy, he should choose Romney for his VP.

And that Romney is now pro-life, will be a benefit as well. The evangelists hate that Romney is a Mormon, but because he now is against abortion will give them reason to think he may not be as evil as they once thought he was. That could excite what has now become the unfortunate base of the GOP.
