MSNBC: NOT ROMNEY, NOT HUCKABEE, Most Likely Pawlenty!

[berni_mccoy]

Laura O'Donnell just went through saying Huckabee is not travelling to Ohio and neither is Romney.

KO said if it's NOT Pawlenty, there will be serious egg on someone's face!

I'm still hoping it's LIEberman... but most likely it's Pawlenty.

[Webster Green]

1. That's the bridge dude, right?

Perfect! :smoke:

[FVZA_Colonel]

5. And the asshole has been proud of his "fiscal responsibility."

I'll bet he was real proud after the I-35 disaster.

[LynneSin]

2. McCain has his Dan Quayle - Tim Pawlenty

Basically McCain is gonna solo this election

[PBS Poll-435]

3. Faux News said Romney, Huckabee and Pawlenty will all be on the stage in Dayton

(It was the only news they had on at Humperdink's tonight...)

:cry:

[FVZA_Colonel]

7. Huckabee could assuage fears of Evangelicals.

But underneath that "ahh shucks" charm of his is an absolute fucking nut.

[PBS Poll-435]

13. ITA

Although....he was the one that I feared would win the Pube nomination this time.

That "Awe Shucks" thing has some serious mileage.

Plus he is from Hope, AR.

Pray he stays on Faux.

[FVZA_Colonel]

16. But, things are pointing away from him at this moment.

Of course, this could just be a giant fake-out.

[PBS Poll-435]

17. I honestly don't think that it is Romney or Pawlenty

Too predicatable.

The only 'joker' left in McCain's deck is a VP pick that shocks people.

The boring ass Governor from the State where the Convention is not shocking.

[FVZA_Colonel]

19. Given the Huckster's abbility to draw Evangelicals he was always a concern for me.

And he certainly would be a surprise.


I just hope McCain takes a more predictable route.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. I agree

Bring on Paw.

Paw and Gramps on one ticket!!!

Prunes for EVERYONE!

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

4. Paw Len Ty Paw Len Ty

[Arugula Latte]

9. He looks like one of those Young Life dweebs I went to high school with.

[nsd]

6. Oh no! Pawlenty! What ever shall we do?!

:rofl:

[NotThisTime]

8. Watching him debate Biden should be fun!

[Zookeeper]

28. Timmy will be SO outmatched that it might actually be painful...

to watch.

Then again, maybe not *too* painful after watching him try to ruin Minnesota.

[AuntPatsy]

10. Is it possible that he was the only one that would except it?

[TahitiNut]

11. Oh, goody! From "a bridge to nowhere" to "no bridge there"!

Why does the GOP treat failure as some kind of virtue? Why are the biggest failures paid so much?

[PBS Poll-435]

18. O.M.G.

Seriously, GREAT LINE.

[OmahaBlueDog]

12. Someone else here had indicated Rob Portman

Had you heard anything along that line?

[PBS Poll-435]

15. The OH connection?

Nah...

M.C. Cane is not thinking 4 years ago.

Ohio is not a "battleground" state this year.

The real battles will be fought in Georgia, Virginia, Colorado, and Missouri.

(The VP Pick is Jim Tallent. Shhhhhhhhh)

[OmahaBlueDog]

21. That pick would reflect a shrewdness that has been notably absent

[PBS Poll-435]

22. Thank GOD

:evilgrin:

[DefenseLawyer]

14. Looks like Rove saved Romney from signing a political suicide pact with Grampa

Anyone Pub with a political future is suddenly really busy tomorrow and out of cell phone range.

[americanstranger]

23. I can barely contain my exictement.

:sarcasm:

(As if I needed that.)

- as

[Sugarcoated]

24. Picking Pawlenty

to be backup wouldn't that destroy the 'Obama doesn't have the experience' issue?

[TheKentuckian]

29. They might roll the dice with Huckabee

but the fiscals over there despise him with more passion than the theocrat crew have for a pro-choice candidate. He's pretty populist economically and they'd be hard pressed to risk him in there with McCain at 72.

I'd see it as a balls to wall move on the GOP's part. Way more so than a Condi pick, at least they know they can count on her to be an economy destroying war monger.

Huckabee is a formidable piece to put on the board but would show the Republicans have crapped their pants and are very desperate to hang on at all cost.
Pawlenty is nearly a white flag.

[Barack_America]

25. CNN: Huckabee says he was never even vetted.

[skooooo]

26. Ok here's a very shallow comment...

...his name just looks GOOFY. (Pawlenty) Like the name of a cartoon character or something.

[tinrobot]

30. There are some who call him... Tim.

[skooooo]

32. lol funny! nt

[Patsy Stone]

27. Chris Matthews had a great line last night

"McCain and Pawlenty... It's like two small puddles of water coming together. No splash at all."

[aaroh]

31. Whitman or Fiorina

McCain will be pick a woman. He doesn't have anyone in his camp that can win a debate with Joe Biden. Putting a woman up against Biden will score some sympathy points.
