The media is buzzing with speculation that McCain may try to regain the media spotlight by announcing his VP pick this week:

MSNBC talked about this a lot yesterday. He was planning on waiting for Obama to announce his VP choice first. Apparently Old Man McCain is a little pissy these days with Obama's positive coverage in the middle east so Gramps is trying all he can to take some of Obama's thunder away.
I keep hearing Romney is his choice. Of course, the media is not very good at predicting VP's.

IF HE PICKS ROMNEY, I CAN NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE VOTE FOR HIM (to overthrow Obama so Hillary can come back in 2012 and sweep 'em clean.)
One word: Huckabee.

I think Romney is the only choice that makes any sense for him. Jindal is too young, Pawlenty is safe but adds nothing, same for Crist, and Fiorina brings trouble.
i don't think he'll announce this week. i don't think it'll be romney. i think he hates novak and wants to make him look like an idiot (as if he needs any help).
the mere possibility of it is enough to steal some of bammy's mideast thunder. not much but some. announcing this week wouldn't steal much more because everybody save for ryan lizza is is on bammy one.

bammy bammy bammy.
I guess I should be grateful that papa doesn't call him 'bambo.'
Papa - whom do you think McCain should/will pick?
Emma Zaks. Unless he's anti-Semitic.
"Emma Zaks. Unless he's anti-Semitic."
Well, that would include Bloomberg or Lieberman too.
I despise Novak but when it comes to outing secrets that should be confidential, Crazy Bob is a real pro.
i don't think he's that good, myself, and i don't think he's got many mccain sources because he clearly hates mccain.
but you'd better hope he was wrong about this one, rom.
mishy to hillary: no veep for you!

Romney sure has been acting like a VP candidate.
my ideal choice would have been crist, mb. but he's got the whole "huge potential for someone whose c*ck he sucked to come forward with pics of him being topped by a drag queen dressed like carmen miranda" monkey on his back, so he's out.
my second choice - now my default first choice, thanks charlie -would be bobby jindal.
he's not picking the woman who nearly killed hp. he might pick romney, but i doubt it. i would think probably pawlenty or sanford with the edge going to sanford for the southern ties (even though he choked harder than a neophyte linda lovelace wannabe on johnny wadd this sunday on late edition).
no way to huck and no way to joltin' joe. not gonna happen. both alienate key demographic blocks for him.

But Crist CAN'T be gay. He was photographed kissing a WOMAN for God's sake.
i never said he was gay, joe. potential. potential monkey, joe.
'ambo- What is your take on the Sarah Palin rumors?
I think there is no chance, but she keeps showing up on all the lists I've been reading of late.
i've heard nothing about her at all and i don't think she'd make it through the vetting process. the gop is not going to send up a woman who admitted to smoking dope. but i'd do her. in a heartbeat.
I do like Papa's explanation for why Crist won't do. But if there's a hustler in his outhouse, why hasn't it been exploited? Have I missed it? Everyone whispers about the confirmed bachelor profile, and the Alan-in-BOYS-IN-THE-BAND demeanor ... but where are the photos?
governor is one thing, auggie, but the white house is another. he can probably afford to still keep thenm quiet at this level, but trying to take it up a notch? that's seven figures, baby. maybe eight.

Time Magazine is saying John Edwards or Sam Nunn. I like Edwards, but Hillary is still my first choice,although I know she is a very long shot.
