I would love for McCain to surprise everyone and it be Condi. It would be a landslide victory then. It would also send Obama camp into a tail spin

I would love for it to be condi I think it is a good choice.

My hopes:

1. Mitt Romney
2. Mitt Romney


Now, some buzz about Kay Bailey Hutchison. Not bad, but not what he needs IMO. Condi is a no-go. Colin Powell, either. On some other galaxy of reality, Newt would be my favorite, but both of them have 1st wife issues. So, that'd be a little hard to push to the largely female pro-Hillary on-the-fence voters.

I see no other really good choice besides Romney. Hutchison wouldn't hurt him, I don't think, but she doesn't help him much. Her age is an issue, too (66). If she is his pick, he better wait until after Obama's speech. I can see the jokes now: Obama Acceptance Speech Ancient Greek Temple Set Based On McCain/Hutchinson Birthplaces.

Here is a little info about T. P. If McCain can't get Condi Rice, Pawlenty could be the next best thing..........

TIM PAWLENTY is regarded as one of the nation's most innovative, energetic, reform-minded and accomplished governors. Now serving his second term as the 39th governor of Minnesota, Governor Pawlenty has brought increased accountability to state government, held the line on taxes, improved K-12 education standards and made Minnesota a leader in energy reform.

Governor Pawlenty grew up in South St. Paul, Minnesota. The only child in his family to graduate from college, he attended the University of Minnesota (B.A., J.D.) and practiced law in the private sector. His public service career includes serving as a city councilmember and ten-year member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, including four years as House Majority Leader.

As Governor, he has balanced Minnesota's budget three times without raising taxes, despite facing record budget deficits. Governor Pawlenty's most notable accomplishments include proposing and signing into law significant new benefits for veterans and members of the military; enacting a property tax cap, eliminating the marriage penalty and cutting taxes; toughening the state's education standards; reforming the way teachers are paid through a nation-leading performance pay plan; instituting free-market health care reforms that increase accountability and provide tax credits to encourage the use of health savings accounts; and implementing a plan to Americanize our energy sources by generating 25% of the state's electricity from renewable sources by 2025.

Under Governor Pawlenty's leadership, Minnesota leads the nation in a variety of measures. Minnesota ranks first among states in Fortune 500 companies per capita, first in overall quality of life, first in homeownership, first in percentage of residents with a high school diploma, and first in residents over 25 with a bachelors degree. Minnesota has the highest average ACT scores in the nation and was recently named the "Healthiest State in America."

Pawlenty is the immediate past Chair of the National Governors Association and serves on the NGA Executive Committee. He is a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, the Achieve Inc. Board of Directors, and the James B. Hunt Jr. Institute Board of Directors. He is a former chair of the Midwestern Governors Association and the Governors Ethanol Coalition.

Governor Pawlenty still finds time for an occasional pick-up hockey game and enjoys running and reading. He and his wife, Mary, a former district court judge, have two daughters.

How can you tell if Bill Clinton is lying? You're right......his mouth is moving!!

Last night was a total and absolute lie fest!!! I cannot believe that men will do what Biden and Clinton did.

Bill, of course, told them obama was ready.....he did not say he was qualified. He is "ready" of course....he wants to be and can't wait to be president. But qualified he is not.....neither Clinton or Biden said it.

God help us if by some quirk, the idiot gets elected. With him and Nancy Pelossi, we would be sunk before the boat hits the water,......

Does that many people have brain damage?

I watched some of these speeches last night at the gym and wrote a blog about it this morning. I kinda feel sorry for those getting their hopes up so much. No matter if he wins or loses, they are for a huge letdown.

Boy, Dewayne you are so right. This hype will work in the convention, but the showboat can't take the rough waters. I honestly think that Mc will eat his lunch in the debates to the point that he will be an embarrassment to all who voted for him. He is a joke and will prove to be a huge let down to the party.

His theatrics tonight will alienate him from those who he is trying to reach with his message of ordinary guy. I agree with one love on this.....I don't want an ordinary guy. I want someone who has made the grade and dealt with issues and has paid the price.
