Thanks. It is very frustrating. However we have only just begun our fight to reform the Republican Party. The GOP establishment wants to kick us off the island. Our will is stronger than theirs is I can tell you that right now.

We may not agree on the issues very much, 3894, but I have a great respect for you because you are doing what you feel is right and are involved in the political process. Too many Americans just sit on the sidelines and just watch it all happen and don't care.

Any ideas on who McCain will pick to be his VP?

BDBopper 08-27-2008 03:14 PM

I am thinking it will be Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. It is a very "safe choice" but he is practically unknown. The media is really trying to grasp at straws during this process. A source on the conservative website, Townhall is sharing a claim that someone saw a McCain sign on the convention site that has room for 8 letters. Pawlenty would be the most likely to fit that bill but Giuliani, Huckabee,and even Gingrich have 8 letters in their last name.

Intrade.com has Romney at 2-1; Pawlenty is 4-1; Hutchinson is 7-1; Huckabee is 20-1; Giuliani is 20-1; and way down the list the darkhorse......Hillary Clinton is at 34-1:)

Reuters is saying that Pawlenty canceled several obligations in Denver which makes them think he's McCain's choice for VP...
Hmmm.

What are the odds on Lieberman?

Tom 08-28-2008 04:39 PM

McCain is running an ad during tonight's speech congratulating Obama on his achievement. Good for him.

You can see it here.

Reportedly, Republican members of Congress were told today to expect a traditional selection, so that would presumably not be Lieberman.

Yep, "Tomorrow we'll be back at it, indeed." If his campaign hadn't sunk so low from the one he promised, this would have been less of a meaningless Thanks, But NoThanks abberation.

This is the first mention of Governor Pawlenty on the LOT boards: Posted by myself(toot toot) back in mid-May of this year:) Excuse my lack of modesty but just give me this moment in the sun:blush:

I still think McCain should go for Pawlenty(+10) and see if he can be the first Republican in like forever to take Minnesota
