Admiral McCombover says he's going to pick his VP tonight!

[ColbertWatcher]

Poll question: Admiral McCombover says he's going to pick his VP tonight!

Obviously it has nothing to do with his intense jealousy or pathological vanity...



My question is: who will he pick? This may be our last chance to guess!

[ck4829]

1. Probably be some guy we never heard of and is not listed

Picking Biden was a strong move against McCain, it definitely shook up his campaign strategy.

[Virginia Dare]

4. I don't give McCain that much credit..

they've basically got no strategy to shake up.

[ColbertWatcher]

5. Could he pick the GOP's Great Aryan Hope: Arnold? n/t

[Virginia Dare]

8. I heard Ahnold wasn't even going to be there?..

I think Ahnold values his political career too much to be seen with that bunch.

[ColbertWatcher]

10. He's more of an attention whore than McCain (if that's even possible).

He'll be there.

He'll break through a wall and rip his shirt off!

[jakem]

9. he can not be vp i thought...

[Caliman73]

28. Correct

Arnold can't be VP.

The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."<3> However, unlike the two-election limit imposed on the Presidency by the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution, there is no restriction of the number of terms a person can serve as Vice President.

Thus, to serve as Vice President, an individual must:

* be a natural born U.S. citizen
* not be younger than 35
* have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years<4>
* not have served two terms as President of the United States, nor have served one term and more than two years of a term to which someone else was originally elected.
* not be "constitutionally ineligible to the office of President"

[LeftishBrit]

20. As he wasn't born in America, he's presumably ineligible

I wish some of the others were ineligible too. Specially as McCain is quite old for a president, and there's always the chance that the VP might replace him. Hope it's not Fuckabee! Well, of course I hope most of all it turns out to be a moot point, as Obama wins by a huge landslide!

[bikebloke]

26. And he's kept his Austrian citizenship all these years.

[jmowreader]

22. Nope. Not according to the Constitution.

Until they pass the 61st Amendment, you have to be born of American parents to be president--and last I checked, Arnold's parents were Austrian citizens.

[Xipe Totec]

2. I guess the Metamucil finally kicked in

let's see what comes out.

[C_U_L8R]

7. eewwwwwww

grandpa stunk up the bathroom again

[jakem]

11. at least he is good at one thing...

POW! it is out!

[Indenturedebtor]

3. Pow McPowellson for Veep.

It's a natural choice. That way McDoodyknickers could say POW at least 2 more times a day! POW POW POW

Did I mention POW?

The answer to your question is POW!

Please pass the POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Virginia Dare]

6. I'm still going with Mitt..

they'll spend the whole convention convincing the fundies it's okay to vote for him.

[Benhurst]

14. I fear you're right. And he has received heavy support from the

Bush Crime Family. If, by hook or crook, McCain/Romney manages to "win," Jeb will be waiting in the wings.

O Happy Day!

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Picked Mitt the Twit; hoping it's Kissyface the (Whatever). nt

[fla nocount]

13. In a bi-partisan move, the Demapendent, Joe Lickerman. n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

15. Does he really think he can compete with the acceptance speech

of Barack Obama? Seriously? Obama? And not only just Obama, the incredible speaker - Obama, the first African American presidential nominee in history?

And McCain's going to go up against that with... what? Romney? Pawlenty? SNORE.

Good. Let the old goat try.

[ColbertWatcher]

16. He's trying to cut off how much attention Obama gets ...

... by announcing a few hours afterward to change the subject.

It's kinda like he's playing that Price Is Right strategy.

[Prefer]

17. BEST NICKNAME YET!

[ColbertWatcher]

19. Aww. Shucks. n/t

[MiniMe]

18. If he is going to try to trump Obama's speech

His supporters will already be in bed by the time he announces. Don't wait too long John.

An obvious attempt to kick Obama off the news.

[B Calm]

21. He'll pick the man that closed down factories, laid off workers, and

sent our jobs overseas because of his business experience. MITT ROMNEY

[jmowreader]

23. There's only one choice: Tom DeLay

Tom DeLay is perfect for McSame because, unlike any of those other guys, we already know how big a crook he is.

[radfringe]

24. candidate McCain will pick Senator McCain... *

*disclaimer: Senator mccain doesn't speak for candidate mccain

[cboy4]

25. I'm afraid it will be mister flip flopper himself, Romney.

:puke:


...Although I read yesterday this woman could be under consideration.

CRAWFORD — Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's long-shot prospect for vice president is getting a push from conservative and other pundits in the lead-up to next week's Republican National Convention.

The latest flurry of speculation online and on cable television constitutes at least a third or fourth wave of chatter about Hutchison, whose name surfaces occasionally as a possible Republican vice-presidential candidate.

Hutchison, a delegate to next week's convention, will address the gathering in Minneapolis-St. Paul on the subject of energy independence on Sept. 3, her office announced Tuesday.

The speaker slot would seem to douse the veep-talk, but no one would say for sure. A spokesman for Hutchison declined to comment, and the McCain campaign did not return a call about McCain's colleague from Texas.

"She is female, which addresses the novelty of the opposition; she is smart and well-respected; she is knowledgeable on key issues, especially domestic policy," said Bruce Buchanan, a University of Texas at Austin government professor. "I still think it's going to be Mitt Romney."
