McCain's Running Mate

Well, today is the big day. John McCain is supposed to unveil his running mate today at noon eastern. The media has been focusing on Mitt Romney and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. I think both are sad choices. But this morning, a breath of fresh air from Fox News with this tidbit:
FOX News reports Mitt Romney not McCain's VP pick; Minnesota Gov. Pawlenty indicates he's out; speculation centers on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
Of course, that was on the front page; when I clicked on the link to read the article, there is nothing about Palin.

I fully expect McCain to choose McAble. I don't know who that is, but it sounds like the bone-headed kind of thing that I have come to expect. I won't be happy unless it is Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal. Of course, I cannot remember any candidate ever selecting a running mate that I agree with.

Stay tuned.

Okay, well, they've updated the link. Now there's some stuff about Palin.

You're right Palin would be the wise choice but I think it'll be Pawlenty, they had him cancel all appearances yesterday and return to the death star... I mean GOP headquarters. ;)

When in doubt ask Vegas, here's the odds:

Tim Pawlenty 3-1
Mitt Romney 1-1
Rob Portman 8-1
Charlie Crist 7-1

So, I'd put my pennies on Romney.

I couldn't find the odds on Palin, I think it's a long shot. Maybe that's the better bet, it'll paymore if she wins!

Holy Schmolies! Fox News is reporting Picking Palin is a Done Deal. Mike called it!

Haha! That video is funny crap.

In all honesty, I probably would have checked out her butt way more than he did. I guess there's a positive thing of having an old man on the ticket--he doesn't have the ability anymore to pull all that Bill Clinton crap. ;)
