I read somewhere that by RNC law, McCain can't select Lieberman. The only way to circumvent said law since Lieberman didn't switch party affiliations 60 days prior to the GOP convention would be to have a floor vote (yeah....that'll work out...).

Pawlenty is the only guy on McCain's short list who doesn't offer any huge negatives with his base that I know of, but then again, we don't really know Pawlenty that well.

I don't know. Alan Keyes was really, really close to beating Obama in the race for the Senate seat in Illinois 4 years ago. Obama got lucky once, but I don't know if he can repeat such a victory again.

Well, that would at least get people watching their convention! Fox News could even bring their football sportscasters in for the pre-voting show, would be awesome.

Obama DESTROYED Alan Keys in that election. He got like 70% of the vote.

MLK... "been to the mountaintop, i may not get there with you", etc...

maybe Michael Mcdonald will sing his "Ain't No Mountain" cover.

Denver "Mile High" also. There will be many Mountain allusions I'd wager.

Wouldn't that be hilarious if McCain said it was Lieberman and then the GOP bitchslapped him in the convention. With the GOP taking the reins on dictating the themes and everything for the convention it's beginning to look like there is more of a rift in the GOP than there ever was in the DNC. I hope the MSM screams as loudly about it as they have with the Democrat shit.

I REALLY hope Obama or SOMEONE goes after McCain with a "McCain mocks Christianity" angle. He would DESTROY the "Religious Right" if he did so.

This is what I thought when I read it. I'm sure she is more intelligent and more committed to the Obama campaign than she lets on. I'm sure that trying to get the crazier Hilary supporters to fall in line is a tough tightrope to walk.

This ad isnt gonna steal any headlines lets be real. It might make some people view McCain slightly better but Obama and his speech will be front page of every paper etc

Well, I was referring to the intent, not the likely result.

Although it won't make any headlines in the paper except a small blurb on page 7, you can bet your ass that it'll appear on the morning news shows and such. But I digress. I was just disturbed that people were defending this, it's a pretty slimy move in my opinion. If McCain or Obama wants to congratulate the other, they can do so over the phone, and if McCain or Obama wants to be respectful, they could try running respectful campaigns.

Whereas Colorado has mountains.

Whereas Colorado has elevation.

Whereas Colorado used to be a red state.

Whereas Colorado has many mountains, which many Coloradans wish to climb.

WTF?
