Thread: VP Picks

OK, now is the time. You can show your political acumen by choosing one VP pick for one or both candidates.

Why will your VP pick be picked. You can also post who will not be picked now.

Obama will not pick Tim Kaine from Virginia. He's too inexperienced in politics and international affairs.


Over to you....

and add to that, he's a full-on, reglious lunatic.

here's an excerpt from an article jindal wrote about an exorcism he witnessed...

Strangely, I found myself repeating the Hail Mary until it became a chant. Being a recent convert to Catholicism, I had yet to accept the Catholic doc­trines concerning Mary and considered any form of Marian devotion to be idolatry. Though I had never before prayed a Hail Mary in my life, I suddenly found myself incapable of any other form of prayer. Somehow, Mary's intercessions allowed me to find peace during that long night; I knew that I had sur­vived the worst and that I would exit with my faith intact. It terrified me to recall how close I came to turning away from Christ out of fear.

The crucifix had a calming effect on Susan, and her sister was soon brave enough to bring a Bible to her face. At first, Susan responded to biblical pas­sages with curses and profanities. Mixed in with her vile attacks were short and desperate pleas for help. In the same breath that she attacked Christ, the Bible's authenticity, and everyone assembled in prayer, Susan would suddenly urge us to rescue her. It appeared as if we were observing a tremendous battle between the Susan we knew and loved and some strange evil force. But the momentum had shifted and we now sensed that victory was at hand.
While Alice and Louise held Susan, her sister continued holding the Bible to her face. Almost taunting the evil spirit that had almost beaten us minutes before, the students dared Susan to read biblical passages. She choked on certain passages and could not finish the sentence "Jesus is Lord." Over and over, she repeated "Jesus is L..L..LL," often ending in profanities. In between her futile attempts, Susan pleaded with us to continue trying and often smiled between the grimaces that accompanied her readings of Scripture. Just as suddenly as she went into the trance, Susan suddenly reappeared and claimed "Jesus is Lord."
With an almost comical smile, Susan then looked up as if awakening from a deep sleep and asked, "Has something happened?" She did not re­member any of the past few hours and was startled to find her friends breaking out in cheers and laugh­ter, overwhelmed by sudden joy and relief.

Jindal's Exorcism - Swampland - TIME
btw, you do realize that jindal doesn't believe in evolution, right?


crist won't be picked because like many republicans, he's a closeted homosexual.

I think we will all be very surprised at the VP picks of both. Often times in the past VPs have not even been mentioned by the pundits prior to selection.

I mentioned in another thread Colin Powell may be coming out to publicly support Obama. If he was "whiter" he would make a great VP.

Here's a real long shot. Madelein Albright!

It seems to me that O'Bama currently has a lot of support from various groups, all of whom would,be offended if he didn't choose one of them as VP.

He has to choose the VP who will cause the least of his supporters to vote Republican by way of a protest vote. He has already driven some women in this direction by defeating Hillary. The damage is already done insofar as women are concerned, so he will probably choose a male VP, but who?

The choice needs to be white as any non-whites will already have made up their minds whether they like Obama or not. He may also have difficulty choosing a VP who is older than himself as it will make him appear less experienced than the VP.

This leaves him with a young inexperienced male VP and he will be screwed into the ground by the Republicans on the exerience issue, which is preceisely where McCain has been hitting him.

Personally I think the choice now is worse than 2004. A naive smiling Christian bible-thumper who wants to make American workers pay for free healthcare for the unemployed whilst eradicating world poverty, or a greater war monger than Bush.

oh yeah. i forgot about that gem....with the first black candidate running for national office as a major party candidate...you 'called' that race would be an issue. keep up the good work!

and btw, that's not how everyone knows you're a racist.

now then, if jet is finished trying to make this thread about her, let's get back on topic....


i think mccain is such a shell of his former self that he may very well choose romney...even though he hates his guts. lieberman wouldn't be much of a surprise either.

of course race was going to be an issue---particuarly because racists like you are insistent on making it an issue. the fact that you think you "called it" is laughable. literally.
