who the heck is Palin? Im a woman and I have no idea! There is no time to introduce someone very few people know. Most of us are concerned about the economy,Mitt is, as we all know the expert for economical issues.Why in the world would we shun an economical expert for this ticket,when having an economy pro is something the Democrats do not have????This is probably the only plus,that would make us one up, and the democrats weak!Harvard financial dgree verses what….

Romney would be an awful choice. There would be no creativity and no momentum and that’s what McCain needs.

Where did that come from?
If there is something I understood from Romney’s achievements and election campaign it is that this guy is highly creative and able to think new and reorganise. He is intelligent and curious about organisations and society, how they work and how to improve areas with openminded solutions, all this is at the essence of creative thinking.

HRC won’t invoke the same kind of “miscegenation” in the minds of white men as Sebelius does b/c
1 - HRC is already perceived as more strong-willed, “rigid.” Thus, she’s probably looked upon as the dominant one in that pairing. HRC also dresses in pantsuits and her campaign is savvy enough to not evoke any kind of sexiness when out on the trail. Whereas with Sebelius, well, I’ve seen her wear skirts..let’s just say that.
2 - HRC is already spent like 16 or so months campaigning around Obama; people are used to seeing them together. Most white men don’t know who Sebelius is, and so there minds are impressionable with Obama’s relationship with her.

Huckabee would do more for McCain then any other vp choice, Yet the lobbyist on McCains team and the left media dont want to admit Huckabee is the best. All the polls show Huckabee is the best pick for McCain even swinging most of the southern states in McCains favor.
On another note I believe what Clark said had nothing to do with attacking McCain, He was just stating the truth. McCain is a war hero, however being a war hero alone does not mean that you will be a good president. Shame on Obama for throwing Clark under the bus. Obama is getting to PC for his own good. We have to be able to have commentary of views and opinions without it being called an attack. Truth, is not always an attack. That said, I keep hearing rumors that Obama will be annoucing his veep this week, the only place I have been able to find any evidence supporting this is at a site called veep peek, was wondering if anyone has heard anything about these rumors or where I can read more about them.,? I thought someone here might know if there seems to be any truth behind the rumors. the only place i have been able to find anything about these rumors on the web is at the veep the site is http://www.theveep.com

It appears that it’s all down to Alaska Gov Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

The tip-off that Politico is just a “promote Romney” piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! — even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops — I’ll say tops by far — Romney as McCain’s best pick).

Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most — as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most — which says a lot.)

AOL, prime on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.

Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction — hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).

Also, CNN had Romney — kind of out of the blue — attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

All the media frenzy which will surround Palin “story” — essentially free to McCain — will be worth millions and millions of dollars of PR (more money than Romney would provide anyway).
