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.

that's not the reason everyone here knows you're a racist.

now then can you please try to stay on topic jet? no matter how much you want it to be about you, this thread is about VP picks.

Historically VPs don't matter much to the minds of voters. Whomever has the image of a good diplomat with plenty of flier miles will probably get the nod.

raycarey

true.

but obama does need to consider what is percieved by some to be a lack of foreign policy experience though.

i think biden would be a good choice.

how's it going CT...haven't seen you around here much. heard anything from cabo/NJ al?

All you left out was the "Fok you..."eh?
Real nice...where's moderation aboard here?

Bad day with the kiddies there, Jason?

Oh, Dear, he did make a choice. Here is rc in post #23 of this thread yesterday:
Oooooh, and here's Jettie's pick in post #2 of this thread on August 14:
Following me again, rc?
Man, you sure don't know when you been owned, do you, rc? You wouldn't know a joke if it came up and kicked you in your backside.

Milkman

OK, I'm piggy-backing off of the MSM. I think Biden will be the pick. He travelled to Tblisi, Georgia a couple of days ago. He'll bring the "international and foreign policy experience" card to the table. I don't really care. In 4 days, we'll likely know Obama's choice as the Demo Convention (of silliness) nears.

Oops. Tried to put the Vegas odds in but it didn't work so well. Nobody will take bets on Biden.
Any thoughts for McCain's VP? Crist? (without a phony tan would be good) Pawlenty?

sabang

I'll take a guess on Joe Biden.

raycarey

too late...jet 'called it'.

GooMaiRoo

I think McCain's going to take Midwesterner and (faux?) populist Tim Pawlenty from Minnesota. If McCain can win Minnesota, he can even lose Ohio and take the election. It makes Obama even more vulnerable in the other Midwest swing states like Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. Gotta agree on the Biden call. He's a moderate, high-profile Washington insider who can allay voters' fears about the inexperienced Obama. Personally, I think Obama should pick Chuck Hagel, because Hagel's a pissed-off Republican and Obama needs pissed-off Republicans to make up for the redneck Democrats who can't get themselves to vote for a person of African ancestry. Hegal would also bring in much of the anti-war, fiscally conservative, civil libertarian Ron Paul vote, a small but very active political constituency. It would also make a strong statement that Obama is truly interested in reversing the nasty polarization that's infected the American political scene for decades.

Milkman

I agree with you FP, on Biden. I too, like Chuck Hagel, but I now doubt he'll be chosen.

McCain to win Minnesota? Good scenario, but I don't think McCain will get MN, no matter who he gets.

I do predict (sadly) that McCain will win Ohio.

raycarey

hagel would be an interesting choice, but i find it hard to believe that obama would choose someone who thinks the govt. should determine what types of medical procedures women are allowed to have.

oh btw, you can't say biden would be a good choice because jet already 'called it' a couple of days ago.

Jet Gorgon

^ *giggle* way before you, too, rc. Poor dear.
Still. our picks won't be theirs.

raycarey

you just don't get it jet, do you?

you haven't "called" anything...you're simply parroting what you read somewhere else (biden) or the blatantly obvious (that race would be an issue once obama got the nomination).

but, whatever gets you through the night.

Jet Gorgon

^ I really pity you, rc. Many great posters here have opinions and views that differ but make sense.
If you quit lambasting people in emotional, personal attacks instead of differing in terms of their arguments, I would have some respect for you. You don't, so I have no respect for you.
Don't forget, I said BO would likely be killed before the prez vote.
Nice that you picked Biden several days after I did.

Milkman

OK,

I'm sticking my neck out. There are rumors that Evan Bayh of Indiana will be the VP. You heard it here first.

raycarey

MM "called it"!

chinthee

We'll see my friend if you are the true clairvoyant.

Obama and veep choice to campaign on Saturday - Yahoo! News

Milkman

Wish me luck, CT. If wrong I may hear about it for a while.

BTW, Biden told reporters today that he is "not the man," and doesn't "know who will be the VP." I believe him in that he wouldn't outright lie, if he was indeed going to be the VP.

raycarey

i don't have a link handy, but there was something on politico yesterday about bayh not being selected because of his wife's business dealings. i'll take a look for it later. but who knows, maybe it was just a smoke screen from the obama campaign....or a reporter who has no idea what's on about.
