I know Sarah and Mitt and all I have to say is: God alone can save us if either is picked.

You can take Wesley CLark out of the poll; did he stick his foot in it! He really must not have wanted the job.

Romac, why don’t you let us in on the information that made you write that? It’s the least you can do after posting.

That was Mike Huckabee checking in with the first post.

No, you don’t understand Mike. Wesley Clark said what he said precisely because he believes that statements like that will get him the VP job.

Of course, since the statement was planned from Team Obama from the beginning, Wesley didn’t stick his foot in anything anyway.

It appears that it’s all down to Alaska Gov Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

The tip-off that Politico is just a “promote Romney” piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! — even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops — I’ll say tops by far — Romney as McCain’s best pick).

Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most — as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most — which says a lot.)

AOL, a main on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.

Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction — hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).

Also, CNN had Romney — kind of out of the blue — attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

All the media frenzy which will surround the remarkable Palin “story” — essentially free to McCain — will be worth millions and millions of dollars of coverage and PR (more money than Romney would provide anyway).

I think Obambi will pick Jim Webb,(gun toting anti-war dude)simply because it will give him a front man to take the blame on his withdrawal from Iraq in 16 months flip-flop.
McCain presently surrounded by old geezers will pick Sarah Palin who will promote a drill here drill now energy policy.
Thats what I think…today anyhows..tomorrow I may do an Obambi(flip-a-flop or two and throw Webb & Palin under the bus);)

What can I say, Palin is the best option for McCain!

I like the idea that two women, Hillary and Palin will fight their guts in 2012.

Vote McCain/Palin this election.

But I will throw by support to Hillary by 2012.
