Drudge reporting that McCain has selected on VP

[TeamJordan23]

No name mentioned. However, on Intrade.com, Mitt is sinking while Kay Bailey Hutchison is rising fast.

1. If it's Kay Bailey, bring it the hell on

We can hit her for her lack of support for our troops, her approval of waterboarding, her rubberstamping of the occupation of Iraq, etc.

[Virginia Dare]

20. She's been a Bushbot extraordinaire..

all sorts of tape of her apologizing for Bush's stupidity.

26. ohhhh....the Breck Girl. nt

2. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is so tied to BIG oil

she bleeds crude.

7. When has that ever hurt a Republican ticket? n/t

[WeDidIt]

12. It might have an effect with the price of gas these days.

10. From Wiki:

In 2006, Hutchison received more campaign contributions from large oil and gas corporations than any other member of Congress

3. The RNC will never allow McCain to pick...

...Romney, Colin Powell.

They realize that both of them have too many issues that the Obama camp can nail them on.

I could see them going with Hutchinson in an attempt to lure some of the female vote, but it won't work. She is not a female's female.

I still think Charlie Crist is high in the running.

4. Just trying to get his name in the media n/t

[GarbagemanLB]

5. A pro-choice VP? Can't wait to see the religious right revolt!

[NEM]

8. They will never allow it

It wont even be a part of the Repulican Platform.

[WeDidIt]

19. NEver happen

It would drive the religious whackos to Barr.

[margotb822]

6. But, is she ready to be POTUS?

I just can't see it. That's a helluva case to make, and one they're going to need to...I just don't buy it.

[NEM]

11. Isn't she, already.....

/// a POS?

[maseman]

13. Who gives a shit?

I haven't heard anyone wondering who his pick will be...I think he's nuts for announcing anything this week as it will be completely overshadowed by the convention.

[tekisui]

9. I think mccain is being forced to announce or leak this week.

Because Gustav is threatening to make landfall Sunday/Monday. The pukes Convention may be overshadowed. Could it even be delayed?

[NEM]

15. My wife just

came in to tell me the same thing. It wont effect the convention though, being in Minnesota...but it could draw some network time, but probably not too much.

[tekisui]

22. It has the potential to be

a Katrina size and hit. They would be stupid to take chances with it.

25. I doubt it could be delayed at this point.

Too many people would have to readjust their plans at an extremely late date and preparation on that scale would be difficult to maintain.

[tekisui]

28. Then, he should take the risk of announcing during

the DNC rather than the risk of announcing during a major hurricane.

Better to look desperate that callous.

[jenmito]

14. Today the tv people were saying those two HATE each other. n/t

[Metric System]

16. If it's Kay, I will throw things in her "honor."

[mzmolly]

18. Scuttlebut for Hillary's former supporters? Another attempt to steal the spotlight?

Color me a skeptic.

[Lisa0825]

21. I really don't want it to be KBH...

because I am in Texas, and that would hurt our down-ticket races, if undecideds/independents break towards a rethug ticket... it would erase part of the potential Obama coattails.

[countingbluecars]

23. Be the first to know!

Just send him a stamped self-addressed envelope.

[liberaldem4ever]

24. I would be just like them to announce it

Right during Obama's acceptance speech. Oh yeah, I can't stand Kay Bailey. Bleeech. But I still want him to pick Lieberman. What a pair they make. :thumbsdown:

[Trajan]

27. FUCK DRUDGE ....

Jeezus ... I dont even want to see his fucking name in our hallowed forums ...
