    The morning news' idle speculation is pointing toward Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, based on her travel arrangements to Dayton last night (which workers at the airport called the most secretive flight they've ever dealt with).

    From what I read she's slightly to the right of McCain, which isn't my cup of tea, but her career start as an ethics whistleblower against her own party and record of reform are a plus for independents. Oh yeah, and she has a vagina, so Obama might have to worry about some Hillary voters defecting. Even if that only ends up being 5% or less of his party, that could still tip the scales in such a close race.
    Unbelievable!

      That truly is idle speculation.

        I thought the implication was clear. Biden isn't going to help him overcome McCain's 5 point lead going into the convention, ergo, there is no need for McCain to reach.
        Once more, McCain clearly never had a 5 point lead. While a solitary outlying poll from a bad pollster two weeks ago gave him a 5 point lead (Zogby), Obama has been consistently ahead on average for months now.

        Right, just like earlier you suggested Lieberman. I honestly don't think you have the best interests of the GOP.
        I never said that Lieberman was the smartest pick. I said that I was personally hoping for him. Do you understand the difference?

        If he picks a woman it would be Palin, not KBH.
        Palin basically refutes McCain's experience argument, plus got a cop fired because he had issues with his ex-wife/Palin's sister. That'd be an awesome choice.

          So far none of the possible choices mentioned here looks like a winner. So they don't get my vote. Take that, McCain!

            Just saw a news report that Pawlenty has denied he'll be in Dayton today.

              Looks like Romney and Palin's not coming either. Ridge apparently hasn't been vetted.

              Could it really, truly be Holy Joe?

                Tim Pawlenty.


                If so, then McCain has shown a lack of balls.

                  OMG. You may be correct. I may vote Ron Paul, after all.

                    It's probably not Palin (she's apparently in Alaska still), but out of curiosity, why would you vote Ron Paul based on that?

                      McCain should pick Ted Stevens. It's a fitting ticket.

                        The Trib claims an unnamed Republican source confirms Palin is the VP pick ... I'm not sure I believe it, but who knows. It's the first remotely reputable source I've seen that uses 'confirm'...

                          Why wouldn't you believe it?

                          It's perhaps the smartest pick he could make. Court the Hilary feminist supporters whilst semi-countering Obama's advantage as a younger man.

                            It really doesn't matter who McCain picks. After Obama's speech last night, it is clear that McCain, although a cool guy to hang out with, is only interested in impoverishing the country and killing brown people. Now that the truth is out, McCain stands no chance whoever he picks.

                              I think Obama's speech more made the case that McCain might be a good guy, and is a patriot, he's just clueless. Which as far as I can tell, is the same for almost all Republicans.

                              The whole modern party is founded on the trickle-down theory of economics, which I'm pretty sure has been established is false...

                                Here's the real issue:

                                Go to Google Images, google Sarah Palin, and look particularly at the pictures that are clearly official head shots. In every single one of them, she looks like the "before" image of a star of a MILF-themed porn video.

                                The question is, does that work for her or against her?
