HILLARY
I like Crist and JC Watts. . . but it’s looking more and more like Romney.
Alan keyes
no-one he thinks that he is the best thing that has ever happened to the earth, and he will live forever. He probably thinks that he doesn’t even have to work for votes anymore. Let alone that he would even need a vp.
Mitt
Duncan Hunter would be the best choice. He’s tough on immigration, yet he wasn’t one of those 3 idiots who raised their hand at the first Republican debate when asked who didn;t believe in evolution.
JC Watts would defuse just about all of Obama’s “message. ”
If he picks Huckabee, I may just vote for Obama. “The Antichrist that you know”. . . . .
It’s gonna be George Bush or Dick Cheney.
Furthering his tranformation. I’m pretty sure they’re gonna turn him into Darth Vader.
Vote Democrat in ’08.
it will be Joe Liberman as he seems to be a traveling buddy of McCain’s
Mitt Romney. He has to name a bright, experienced expert on economics.
Crist or Lieberman.
