What are the odds on Lieberman?

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

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

You can see it here.

I think it's a great ad. Good for him.

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

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

It is now 100% official. Governor MIke Huckabee let his supporters know he will not be McCain's running mate. Not only was ne not on his short list he was not vetted or considered. I'm am so pissed off right now.

So yes I WILL NOT even think of voting for John McCain on November 4th.

Boy that McCain is a real asshole stealing your moment in the sun. Will this change your vote?

I find it disappointing that a good percentage of Hillary supporters may be voting for McCain. I understand the desire by some Clinton supporters to see a woman in the White House. I get it. But putting McCain in office in the hopes to see Palin someday become president seems counter-productive to me in terms of women's issues. Palin is pro-life. She would be okay with the government telling her what she can or can not do with her own body. How is this liberating for women? I'd be interested to see where she's at with contraception, but I'm thinking that she doesn't know what that is with all them kids she has. (That part is me joking.)

Also, I find it hypocritical for someone to be pro-life and pro-death via capital punishment. "Life is sacred... sorta."

I also find it hypocritical for someone to say they have gay friends and love their gay friends but would stop them from getting married to someone they love. That's wishy-washy to me.

This is just me venting.

This brings up an interesting point. I would imagine that Hillary is pretty furious at this choice, and there is no way that she is going to simply sit back and let this woman potentially steal her future chances at being the first woman President.

And while I think Biden will be very hard on her in the debates, he still has to take great caution to not appear sexist. Hillary is under no such pressure. And by the time she gets done with this woman, I think it is going to be very hard for her supporters to vote for McCain in good faith.

Hillary might have considered staying out of the spotlight, had McCain chosen anyone else. Not now. Hell hath no fury, and all that.
