McCain slogan "Putting politics first"

No guts. No glory.

McCain will pick a VP with honor. That is the taproot of his personal strength and the strength of his campaign. If it means being unpopular with the Republican fringes, then so be it. With the rate at which Obama's campaign is registering voters, a smart radical move is necessary to counter.

Being from Pennsylvania Tom Ridge on the ticket would guarantee that I would vote for McCain against Obama and help deliver Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes ot the Republicans. No one is better suited to be vice president than Tom Ridge. Go moderate Republicans and Independents. It's time our voice is heard! Loud and clear from Pennsylvania baby! Abortion is not the only issue that concern Republicans, so is honor and integrity and Tom Ridge has both.

A Ridge VP is a slap in the face to >50% of America who have a half a brain and half a conscience. Quit pandering. All the Obama hype has only amounted to a tie w/ McCain...who btw, is only there b/c the right has warmed to him. Choose Ridge and I will become disaffected once again.

"Abortion is not the only issue that concern Republicans"

It's not but for the very conservative and Evangelical wing of the party it is one of the top issues.

The media finally admits Obama will not win in a "landslide". Now they are starting to get worried about the possibility the ONE may lose. Thus we get crap like this.

McFliper again?

I pro-choice republican VP will lose Ohio and possibly Indiana and Missouri and solidify Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin so go ahead make my day.

I'm was a Ron Paul supporter. The reason I'm voting Obama and to what makes my decision the correct one is Obama's response on the Georgian and Russia conflict.
My biggest fear and much of the conservative "wing" of our party is McCain's response to a international conflict. I fear a war with Iran under a McCain administration.
McCain forgot we need Russians to get to Iran. Using such harsh rhetoric will only anger the Russian.

Obama's response was perfect to say the least. He condemn the Russian invasion and asked for a cease fire to take place. The last thing we need in another president is someone who rushes to judgement.

A Republican for Obama.

Tom Ridge? The guy who told us to buy duct tape and plastic sheeting? The guy who gave us the technicolor alerts?

His 'innovations' at Homeland Security were widely ridiculed. Why would McCain select such a lightning rod as his running mate?

Mark,
You are an Obama supporter from the start.Russia ignored Obama and continued on. It took strength of sending military personnel to deleiver aid. What would Obama do when Russia ignores his plea to hold hands?

International pressure. That was Obama response. Call on our allies to pressure Russia.
McCain response was to throw accusations to the Russians. That's not the type of leadership I'm looking for in my next president.

I became a Obama supporter when it became clear Ron Paul would not run as an independent.

After his blunders with this Georgia situation, I think the last thing McCain needs to worry about is the effect of picking a pro-choice running mate.

If he has a conscience, he should be worried about whether Georgians are dying because of his assertions. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see analysts start coming to the conclusion that the Russians went further than initially planned in part out of being infuriated by McCain.

And note too how McCain's words are now hurting us in terms of how Georgia sees its relationship to the U.S. Last night on TV, I saw the Georgian president pointedly stating that all Georgians are now waiting to see the deeds that go with John McCain's words.

God thing the majority of Americans vote for someone who will stand up instead of cower in fear like Obama.

quote: "Lieberman would be a ‘transformative’ VP pick who could help open up the Republican Party and deliver moderate voters"

Liberman is no moderate. Never has been, and never will be. He is Reichwing all the way. If you think a moderate would ever vote for a ticket with Lieberman on it, you are out of your mind!

McCain the adulterer will do what his opportunistic philandering past always predicts - he'll jump on a young-looking cutey while the old aging home base is ignored, then pretend that they were always supporting him as they remain silent. It's up to them what will be the outcome of this two-timing bigamy.

Picking Ridge guarantees an Obama winm but not only because Ridge is pro-murder, I mean, pro-abortion. Ridge is a RINO, a Bushie from way back. He was a disaster as DHS Secretary, overseeing the biggest Invasion of the U.S. by Mexico. He couldn't deliver PA to Bush in 2004 and he won't do it this time, either. Passing over Romney for Ridge would be a big mistake for McCain. It would show poor judgment at a time when he needs to show good judgment. Picking Ridge would guarantee than millions of conservative will stay home in November.

McWar is thinking of one thing in his life, and that is war against Iran, Russia, Irak, Afganistan. This man is a real warmonger who believes in Cowboy diplomcay and boots tactics. He never overcame his status of POW in Vietnam, psychologically, therefore he is very dangerous for America and for the world.

To those who denigrate the concept of Honor by connecting it with McWar, the sell-out:

How can you possibly eat up all that empty propaganda from Bush/McCain/Rove, their special interests, the Georgia lobbyists, and the rest of their US Oil-igarchy (and Fox News). McSame is the worst kind of sell out, opportunistically cheating on his crippled wife (who had before her car crash been a supermodel) with a blonde heiress, thereby beginning a political career.

Not the actions of anyone I'd deem honorable, least of all a "hero".

By the way, just how did McCain earn that silver star for heroism? Oh, he did NOT earn one. Stop demeaning the term "hero" by using it on the earlier wife-cheating, and now senile, sell-out McCain. He's nobody's hero. And using that word is an insult to our real heroes.

If you and your scary kind remain mindless sheep and give the Oil-igarchy one more Rebublican victory, we will have proven ourselves to be a country that is DUMB enough to *sell out* all of what this country was supposed to be. Thomas Jeffereson would be disgraced. And our days as a worldpower will be sucked away in a decade. But in that case, you'll be giving yourself exactly what you deserve. God help the rest of us, including your own future generations.

Old Senator McCrab - do you think he will pick staunch conservative Jindal - who incidentally also believes in excorcism? He's been blustering and sputtering sounding more each day like Bush with macho war posturing. The last thing we need is another loose cannon in the WH.
