Caffeinated Thoughts: McCain-Palin Ticket? (Update: Yep!)

  • Kansas Bob · 1 year ago
    NBC reported this evening that Joe Lieberman is at the top of McCain's short list.. they have to be joking.

    I heard that as well, the RNC said that there wouldn't be a pro-choice nominee - http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/19/rnc-mcc...

    Lieberman probably couldn't even get on the ballot in several states due to party affiliation. If he put Lieberman on the ticket - he's sunk. That would be a colossal mistake.

    I think any moderate VP would sink him. Any ground he made up with Conservatives at the recent forum would be wasted instantly.

    Personally, I think Palin would be a great choice. She doesn't have great name recognition, but might that be a plus in this election?

    Nephos, I'm with you. My only concern with Palin is that she hasn't been in office that long.

    Moderate or not, I think Palin wouldn't sink him... he would just remain afloat among all the ballyhoo who Obama chooses this week. She's not a "name" and in this election, God knows that dude needs sex appeal.

    Who do you think he should pick?

    I think she would be an excellent choice. I know there has been buzz about Lieberman, but I'm pretty sure it's just buzz...I cannot imagine that being a reality.

    Does everyone think that Romney is out? Palin pales next to Romney.. or Huckabee for that matter.

    Hey Bob,

    Regarding Romney... I hope not. I would be surprised considering the venom between him and McCain during the primaries.

    He seemed to become conservative when it suited him, so I trust him about as far as I can throw him.

    I would love to see Huckabee be his VP pick, but I don't think it will happen. Huckabee said himself that he hasn't been contacted.
