Unless Huckabee can pull off a miracle (I ain't countin' GOD out, either) it looks like McCain will be the GOP nominee.
His pick for veep might lock him into or out of the Oval Office.
Obviously Huckabee is angling for that spot and at first I thought that was great but now feel that McCain won't stand for the oral violation (think monica) and will choose somebody else. But who?
Some have suggested folks like JC Watts, a former Republican representative, young, charismatic, solid conservative and of course....black. I'd vote that ticket in a heartbeat.
Condi is still making it clear she doesn't want the job and that's good. Her views on abortion and other issues would kill the ticket.
A lot of folks are painting a JFK/LBJ scenario whereby McCain chooses a veep from a state that can deliver major electoral votes. In the case of JFK that was Texas and LBJ, whom the Kennedy's never liked, but accepted as a political reality. That being the case here the logical choice is Florida's Charlie Crist. Living in Florida myself, I can tell you that Crist is cut from EXACTLY the same cloth as McCain. Not RINO something called contra-conservative, which is actually worse since it's more deceptive.
Right now there are about 63% of die hard conservative Republicans who will vote for McCain while holding their noses because they see the reality of the alternative. I swear, the Clintons almost destroyed the nation and Bush hasn't been much improvement, but another Clinton or worse an Obama regime and this country won't exist. It might not exist with McCain but the odds are at least even.
IF McCain picks the right veep and the talk shows turn in favor they can galvanize the base and win the day. BUT WHO TO PICK?
Thoughts?
BTW I'm not even speculating on the RAT veep selection. It will be a nightmare in ever sense of the word, that's a given.
