ieatcrayonz Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Obama has selected his running mate and it is said to be down to 5. Bayh, Biden, Kaine, Clinton and the governor of Kansas who is a woman and has a long name. Anyway, the article said the ladies were longshots. Prediction 1: It will be Tom Tancredo. This will gain some Republican voters and make Obama look tougher. Prediction 2: If prediction 1 is true he gets my vote and I am in a swing state. I would have preferred Edwards/Tancredo or the reverse, but I'll take this. P.S. I don't think McCain will take Edwards with all of this baby stuff going on which is bad timing for the McCain campaign.
John Adams Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think he picks Kaine (Va. is an important swing state) or Beeyotch (also an important swing state). Biden is a solid choice but Delaware is not important and he comes with a little baggage. I don't think he'll pick Clinton.
/dev/null Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think he picks Kaine (Va. is an important swing state) As a resident of Virginia, I hope that he picks Kaine and Kaine resigns immediately
VABills Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 As a resident of Virginia, I hope that he picks Kaine and Kaine resigns immediately I agree, however. he won't pick Kaine. With Warner doing the keynote, they will not have two people from the same state have that much of a role
JK2000 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Mark my words, it will be Clinton. This whole VP process for Obama reminds me of Parcells jerking us around with the first overall pick. Like he was ever really going to pick Vernon Gholston!!!!!
JK2000 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think he picks Kaine (Va. is an important swing state) or Beeyotch (also an important swing state). Biden is a solid choice but Delaware is not important and he comes with a little baggage. I don't think he'll pick Clinton. Biden would be the perfect attack dog but at any moment he could say something completely retarded!
pBills Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I have heard through the grapevine that Al Gore's name is on the same level as Biden, Kaine, etc.
ieatcrayonz Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 I have heard through the grapevine that Al Gore's name is on the same level as Biden, Kaine, etc. Any Tancredo buzz?
finknottle Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think it will be Jesus. It makes a lot of sense. It's an opportunity for Jesus to be part of something really big, the whole inspirational Obama movement. And it provides Obama an opportunity to make inroads into the Republican evangelical base. Unfortunately, I think the move will ultimately disappoint. When push comes to shove, evangelicals aren't actually all that keen on his teachings.
PastaJoe Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Clinton would be a huge win-win for Democrats, but Biden would be a very solid choice. I've always liked him, and he was my 2nd choice for the nomination after Clinton. I think picking Bayh would be a mistake in that his Indiana Senate seat would switch to a Republican appointed by a Republican governor. Leaving Kaine as Virginia governor to go along with their two Senate seats after Warner wins would be a solid group of leadership to help transition that state from Red to Purplish/Blue.
pBills Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Any Tancredo buzz? Not one person has mentioned Tancredo, other than in a nutshell it would be an interesting choice. I happen to like Biden and Richardson as VP choice.
Chilly Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Not one person has mentioned Tancredo, other than in a nutshell it would be an interesting choice. I happen to like Biden and Richardson as VP choice. Hey, we agree on something! I, too, think that they would be good choices.
finknottle Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Not one person has mentioned Tancredo, other than in a nutshell it would be an interesting choice. I happen to like Biden and Richardson as VP choice. How about a Tancredo-Richardson ticket, running as independents? Cover all your bases!
pBills Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Hey, we agree on something! I, too, think that they would be good choices. I was wondering why it was freezing up outside.
JK2000 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 How about a Tancredo-Richardson ticket, running as independents? Cover all your bases! That reminds me of the joke "What is the only bumper sticker that makes 100% of people who see it angry? A bumper sticker that says 'I love n-words'".
KD in CA Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 That reminds me of the joke "What is the only bumper sticker that makes 100% of people who see it angry? A bumper sticker that says 'I love n-words'". What?
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think it's Biden, shores up Obama's Foreign Policy, regardless if you like him or not.
JK2000 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think it's Biden, shores up Obama's Foreign Policy, regardless if you like him or not. You may be right, Biden's intrade has skyrocketed today. https://www.intrade.com/jsp/intrade/common/...z=1219172629609 By the way isn't this (https://www.intrade.com/jsp/intrade/common/c_cd.jsp?conDetailID=607629&z=1219173012531) a free 600$? There's no way Obama could be the Democrat VP right?
