He was the only part of the Gore ticket I was in favor of. Sadly, I too doubt that he will be the pick.

I didn't see it printed anywhere else. It makes sense Iraqis would prefer McCain when you think of all the things Obama has been saying, but you just don't think of it. At least I didn't.hydraliskhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06064530930208976622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-4340210340993899942008-06-17T20:14:00.000-05:002008-06-17T20:14:00.000-05:00While I figure it will be social conservative, which saddens me to consider. Like you, Lieberman would be my first pick and any number of foreign policy wonks roaming around Washington that will push for the cause of democracy. I hear Jindal’s name thrown around a lot these days, and that may be the campaign testing the waters. I personally feel he is too young and inexperienced (younger and less experienced than Obama even!) so I wouldn’t put him on my list. <BR/><BR/>McCain’s campaign has been pretty weak so far, and that worries me. I have not seen the clarity I was hoping to hear from McCain. I hope he picks a VP soon, and hopefully that person can help make McCain’s case. But from where I stand now, its going to be a tough few months.Roland Doddshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17819155097718124744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-54459865107464069022008-06-17T18:23:00.000-05:002008-06-17T18:23:00.000-05:00Who do you think McCain will choose as VP? My bet is on a social (Christian, evangelical) conservative. I know it's prob. not going to happen but it would be awesome if he chose Lieberman. <BR/><BR/>My wife asked, "what has he to gain by that?" My answer, Florida. Jews and Latinos united, we would not be defeated.<BR/><BR/>Second choice (again, ain't gonna happen) is Bobby Jindal. He's the only candidate who could potentially convince my in-laws to vote for McCain.<BR/><BR/>As far as cabinet positions, I would like to see John Bolton back in the mix. He kept the fellow travelers and useful idiots in check.TNCnoreply@blogger.com
