Upcoming US Election: Vice Presidential Candidates?

[LadyWrestler]

Unlike many prior US elections for President, I think the Vice-Presidential picks this time around will be extremely important! I am interested to see if any Luvin' Poker people have any picks or predictions. I have included a link to a site that lists possible short lists. (Near the bottom of the page are pictures of 7 possibles for each side.)

McCain is going to steal this election by picking the hot Alaska chick, isn't he?

And who can the Democrats fire back with?

Mary Landrieu?


Holy shit, we are so screwed.

actually Palin does a lot for McCain and brings so much to a Republican ticket.

[LadyWrestler]

I agree with you guys! I believe that, if McCain has the balls to pick Palin, he will defeat O'bama in the General Election. It is not only good for the ticket, it is good for the country...and...it will make some people take a second look at McCain...IMO.

Still think McCain will pick Pawlenty...we'll know early next week

[spaceboy761]

I think we may be underestimating the creepiness of McCain choosing someone young enough to be his daughter.

[spaceboy761]

And yes, I think that Pawlenty will eventually get chosen. The chance to swipe those votes in Minnesota and potentially some surrounding blue states is just too tempting.
