Democrats: Who would you like to see McCain pick as VP?

[dansolo]

Considering McCain's age and health, his VP will be an extremely important aspect of his campaign (that's why general election polls now are basically worthless). Who do you think he will pick, and who would you like to see him pick?

I have a feeling that he would pick either Joe Lieberman or Mike Huckabee. God I wish he would pick Lieberman. Huckabee actually scares me a little. He will bring in the ambivalent conservatives, and he also has pretty high favorable numbers, which may cause people to overlook his hard core theocratic beliefs.

Let me clarify: I am asking this from a Democratic strategic perspective - i.e. who would be worse for McCain in the general election.

1. Um I don't care who this repug picks.

2. Am I on the wrong website????

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

22. No

The OP means who, as Democrats, do you want McCain to pick as his VP, in order to benefit Democrats? For example, if he picked David Duke, he would lose 48-50 states, and lose the election. So, therefore, I would like him to pick David Duke. Get it? :)

3. I'd like to see him pick his nose, nothing more fitting than that!

[better tomorrow]

4. Lieberman....then they would BOTH be old.....

[ecstatic]

5. Lieberman! He would lose the far right for sure

We would lose a lot of independents and sour dems, but I think most conservatives would stay home.

6. He won't pick either. He'll pick a Governor

[mediaman007]

7. I think that Dick Cheney will tell McCain who the vice-president

will be. He knows that someone has to protect the family secrets.

I think that Cheney will never die. He must be an alien.

8. Whomever finished last in his class at the Naval Academy..

he finished next to last, they would make a good team.

[ingac70]

9. Lindsey Graham would set the far right toatlly off...

they are currently hoping McCain picks their idea of a "real conservative". I hope he gives them their worst fear.

[stevietheman]

10. Hillary Rodham Clinton... I think she's a good fit, after her and her husband's

praise of him.

[mmonk]

11. I would not feel good with either you mention

as the US march into darkness with religious radicalism and bloodlust for international conflict and more war needs to end.

[Barack_America]

12. Roseanne Barr.

She's got to be pretty universally loathed among McCain's base.

I'd say Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, but they're not of age.

[Fovea]

13. David Duke

It just seems like the right team for the wide stance party.

[momster]

14. George Allen

Mr. Maccaca himself. I'm sure the Republicans want to burnish his image to the point where he may actually be a viable candidate for office again.

Failing that, and if B.O. is the Dem nominee, the Republicans will probably choose Michael Steele, failed AA gubernatorial candidate from MD.

15. I don't care who McSame picks.

[undeterred]

16. Dick Cheney

Everyone likes him and he cares so much about what the country thinks. :sarcasm:

[SoCalDem]

17. Watch him pick George Allen

[SKKY]

28. GAWD I hope so!!!

That would just about seal it.

[JoFerret]

18. Obama

Provides a nice balance

[better tomorrow]

19. be carefule what you wish for...it might be Hillary

[O.M.B.inOhio]

21. Don't go giving the 'Pukes any ideas! Seriously.

[Tribetime]

20. larry craig

[ZombieHorde]

23. Awesome.

[tomreedtoon]

24. Has to be one of the radio dittoheads.

It would be paying back for years of service to the Neocons. The question is which one. Limbaugh is too big to fit on the plane and has an acknowledged drug problem. O'Reilly has a Falafal problem. (If you think you Falafal now, just listen to his show.) Maybe the Savage Weiner. He hasn't been caught at anything specifically illegal yet.

[L0oniX]

25. Ron Paul

:sarcasm:

[JI7]

26. Charles Keating

[NoPasaran]

27. Carrot Top

I know some people would vote for McThistopheles, but no one would vote for Carrot Top

[momster]

29. McThuselah

Yours is good...but I like this one too.

[RiverStone]

30. shhhh, lets not help them....n/t

[anonymous171]

31. Someone really old, really white, and really male.
