I think Cindy is 54 or so. John's first wife is probably 71. Remember he dumped Carol McCain, the woman who stood by him and raised their children while he was in the Hanoi Hilton when he realized Cindy was a really rich woman and dumb enough to fall for a married man in a uniform. A real man of honor that John McCain.

Question, when is Joe's interview?

It's obvious: McCain/C(h)rist

As subliminal messages go you can't beat that one. You think they wouldn't play that up? Google for "Charlie Christ" (in quotes). The first hit is www.charliecrist.com.

Romney = rich.

Jindal = young and smart.

Crist = gay.

Romney's also dumb as a post. I think he's out.

If, indeed, Crist is gay (and I'm wholly depending on a previous poster), he's totally not viable.

Jindal would be a great choice if the Repug base would buy a guy on Indian descent. I'm not sure they wold.

Meanwhile, the whore said, I've blogged my first at http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/05/its-time-1.php if you want to read it.

You forgot to mention that Romney would make sure that every college kid going to school in MA would go home and vote against him due to a hatred of Romney gained through sheer osmosis.

Yeah, I hope he picks Charlie Crist. For fun, go to Wonkette and search for "Charlie Crist" and "gay". Lots of fun. I don't know how to hyperlink on this site, but there's a lot of material there for your perusal.

McCain picks will either be Joe Lieberman or Mike Huckabee.

Some good VP choices for Senator Obama:
Jim Webb
Chuck Hagel (especially if McCain picks Lieberman)
Kathleen Sebelius

I want JINDAL. A repug will have to explain how those millions of tax dollars for katrina reconstruction were spent.

McCain "taking a rather hands on approach" conjurs images . . .

I believe the unspoken elephant in the room is that John McCain is an age vampire. He sucks lifeforce from those arround him. He steals a year or two from each person he meets. When no one else is around he pucks a day or two from his wife . . . That's why he had to trade the first one in for a younger, richer model. Of course, he metabolizes the stolen time at a fantastic rate . . . So he is always seeking flesh to drag a year or a decade from.

We all thought that Bush43 was extracting a moment public erotic man-love to mark McCain as his property through their lip locked, backside grab . . . But no McCain needed a lifeforce boost right there in public.

McCain has turned Lieberman into a thrall . . . Now he seeks younger flesh to feed his continuing existence. Romney brings cash to the table also.

Jokes aside, I dream of a McCain-Tancredo ticket. It could be billed as "Insane and Insaner".

I see McCain meeting with Jindal as being sort of a political Rooney Rule (the NFL rule that stipulates you need to interview at least one minority for a coaching vacancy). I really don't think he'd pick him but he gets credit just for interviewing him. Jindal's like 36 and he'd not only make McCain older (if that's even possible) and he'd make Obama look older...neither of which is something they want.

McCain adviser's work as lobbyist comes to light

By Matt Kelley, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — John McCain's top foreign policy adviser lobbied the Arizona senator's staff on behalf of the republic of Georgia while he was working for the campaign, public records show.

Randy Scheunemann, founder of Orion Strategies, represented the governments of Macedonia, Georgia and Taiwan between 2003 and March 1, according to the firm's filings with the Justice Department. In its latest semiannual report, the firm disclosed that Scheunemann had a phone conversation in November about Georgia with Richard Fontaine, an aide in McCain's Senate office.

Orion Strategies earned $540,000 from its foreign clients over the year ending on Dec. 1, reports show. Scheunemann also received $56,250 last year from March to July from McCain, according to campaign finance records.

The campaign consulting fees ended at a time when McCain was under financial pressure to cut costs, but Scheunemann remained the campaign's top foreign policy adviser. He represented McCain throughout last fall — including an appearance at a Republican Jewish Coalition event during the same week he lobbied McCain's Senate office.
