So what do you think of this rumor that Condi may be McCain's running mate?

[book_worm]

I just heard Larry King mention this in his interview with Mrs. Obama. I say go for it, John. That will tie you even more to the failed Bush policies in Iraq and elsewhere in the world. She was one of the developers of that policy.

[Mojambo]

1. I don't see it. She doesn't shore up any of his perceived weaknesses.

And in fact might enhance them to some degree.

I'd love to see her on the ticket though.

[Skittles]

3. ?

Condi is a repuke whore

[Mojambo]

5. Well, I don't like calling people (no matter their political persuasion) a "whore"

But I think you mistook my meaning. I don't want her on the ticket because I like her, I want her on the ticket because it would hurt their electoral chances.

[Skittles]

26. she whores for the GOP

that is exactly what she is

[Mojambo]

27. You can use whatever language you like. I'll have no part in it thanks n/t

[Skittles]

31. no one says you have to n/t

[Rex]

2. Garbage.

[NC_Nurse]

4. I seriously doubt it's true. What would they point to as her

accomplishments?
-ignored terrorist threat before 9/11
-failed to successfully negotiate with Palestinians, Iraqis, etc.

:shrug:

She is the poster diplomat for a failed administration and it's worthless foreign policy.

[MadMaddie]

6. she would be the albatrose around McCains neck she

would sink McCains chance...bye..bye...she is useless

[Disturbed]

11. More possible is Jeb Bush.

:crazy: ? Maybe but the Bush Crime Family has no bounds on the :crazy: notions.

[Warpy]

23. he's going to need either a fundy nutjob

or some doctrinaire Reaganite to bring in either the fundies or the true believers, possibly both.

Too many people have learned to hate his guts. Even Wall Street doesn't want him.

[dysfunctional press]

32. the bush name has been sullied for at least 2 years by dumbya...

i think that condi is very feasible as mcanger's running mate.
i've been ridiculed for saying it for awhile now.

[Ilsa]

25. The 29%'ers would like it, but she would scare off the independents. nt

[Fleshdancer]

I'm shocked this admin didn't tap her to run from the Presidency...

I thought for sure Cheney would step down last year to put in the one person they thought could give Hillary a run for her money AND ensure that their insane policies continue for another 4 years. I have no idea why Cheney is still the VP. It makes no sense politically.

:shrug:

[tekisui]

7. I love it. I wish it was true. ANY member of the BushInc. Crime Family

will be certain death for the gop ticket.

[DJ13]

8. I would take that to be the neocons keeping an eye on McCain

They probably hope he gets elected, and then dies in office so one of "theirs" retakes control of the WH.

They really (REALLY) dont trust McCain.

[wuushew]

9. How would losing (more) misogynists and racists help McCain win?

:shrug:

[griffi94]

10. we underestimate mccain to our own peril

he's not stupid....he's going to be a formidable opponent...and anybody that thinks otherwise
is deluding themselves....he's seen by many moderates as a maverick and anti-bush....and he has the rw talk jocks against him to prove it.....he'll appeal to conservative democrats...moderate and liberal repubs....and a lot of independents....if i had to guess...i'd say lieberman is on his short list....texas senator kay bailey hutchison would also strengthen his ticket....i'm not sure who else he's considering...but it won't be an outright bushie

[Arctic Dave]

17. agreed

I think you hit just about all the key issues with McCain (a.k.a. Grumpy Dwarf)

[TahitiNut]

12. And they believe this due to her illustrious track record getting elected to office??

Uh-huh. Riiight. :rofl: I think I'll sell a bridge to folks who buy this crap.

[Xipe Totec]

13. It would be seen as a transparent attemp to play the race card

I'm willing to bet McCain will only pick Condi if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, or if Obama decides to run as Hillary's VP.

[Matariki]

14. That would be GREAT! Hopefully it's true

Better for us than if he chooses likable cuckoo-bird Huckabee

[Historic NY]

15. Wonderfull, another incompentent..lets get her under oath..

[Disturbed]

16. McLame as anti-bush. LOL

[griffi94]

21. oh yeah

i'm sure all the media outlets will run that pic....not...lol
but keep posting it here because i'm sure all the mccain supporters here at du will be influenced by it...jeez no wonder we keep blowin it....

[Gman]

18. She's a consensus failure as a Secretary of State

Although they may put her on the ticket as an act of desperation if Obama's the nominee.

[apocalypsehow]

19. Perhaps, but I find that scenario unlikely. McCain is going to want to

shore up his support among the disaffected conservatives, and I do not think "Condi" would help him all that much with that rancid slice of his base. More likely Huckabee, or some other gibbering nut along those lines.

[Greyhound]

34. Yeah, a god guy would be good. n/t

[housewolf]

20. I heard this floated on Charlie Rose last week by a Repug strategist

On the face of it, it's a fairly interesting idea. Just think how the pundit's heads would explode if the scenario was McMcain/Rice vs Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton! They'd have a field day with the racism and sexism of McCain (older white man)/Rice (younger black woman) vs Clinton (older white woman)/Obama (younger black man) or Obama (younger black man)/Clinton (older white woman) ... my head's exploding just imagining how they might play it!

[walldude]

22. I heard talk about this.. Some repub hilariously

trying to say this would draw voters who just want to cast a ballot for a woman or a black man to the GOP. News flash for the GOP.. a purple atheist alien could win against the crap you guys are throwing out there..

[DiamondJay]

24. GO AHEAD JOHNNY McKKKAIN!

I hope he does that. he will be putting the face of 9/11 incompetence on his ticket, AND the face of Iraq War blunders as well. not to mention he will hurt his base worse, as southern CONSERVATIVE racist republicans will run away from him quicker than his plane went down in Vietnam.

[Beetwasher]

28. LOL! He loses if the repub racist scumbags don't vote

n/t

[Kurovski]

29. I want to see a black, female vice-president, so I will of course vote for her.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Don't be so quick to laugh....makes sense....Condi is a 2 Fer...

A woman and a counter to Obama with re to Minorities. She may get the VP Pass.....

[Greyhound]

33. Bingo.

It makes perfect sense from their perspective.

[mcctatas]

35. In repuke calculations they probably think

I'll see your African American and female candidates and raise you an African American female candidate...(even though she is grossly incompetent, possibly criminal and definately lacking in moral conviction!) :puke:
