McCain-Whitmen?

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/8/19/tom-ridge-ruse-ceo-meg-whitman-as-veep.html

Top advisers to McCain are reportedly sounding out activists and party officials about the possibility of either pro-choice Tom Ridge or pro-choice Joe LIeberman on the ticket. Not seeing how this one ever happens in the real world.

That's because TPM staff are on Mitt's payroll

Never fear
Mentum's near

Not that he was talked about much besides myself, by Feingold has also said he ain't it:

I hope he will not be Biden. If he goes with Biden, it would undermine his message of change...Biden has been in Washington for too long...

If he goes for Clinton that would be war, and would end his candidacy...

Warner, Sibellius, Kaine, Hagel would mane me happy. I know it is difficult to please every one.

Oh, Joe! You were doing so well for the last 40 days, then you had to go and open your mouth! You could have been a contender.

If John McCain picks Joe Lieberman,

Chuck Hagel all the way.

If they haven't gotten an imaginative, multi-level nuclear attack prepared, both against McMajorShit and the Thugs, it may likely be already too late. To counter the zeitgeist that has taken place since the first Paris/Britney ad, the dust has got to be stirred up such that the media thugs react in outrage and people on both sides are on the edge of going into the street.

THAT is how you win an election, with an offense, not a defense.

I hope its not biden. I like him, but I think he would be a huge mistake. Sorry biden fans. Biden cuts against alot of obama's message and would highlight the foreign policy and experience alleged "problems."

I agree with you Michael A.

Governor Tim Kaine or Governor Sebelius...

McMajorShit and The Thugs: that's my new band. We eat Repuglicans for breakfast, as RFK once said.

Okay, Nader thinks it will be HRC, and he may be right. I'm certainly no Hillary fan, but I'd prefer her to Bayh. Bayh is HRC without the supporters but with even heavier pro-war baggage.

Still hoping against hope for Wes Clark, though. He's by far the most consistent with Obama's Change theme.

The Hillary women still remember Sen. Biden from the Clarence Thomas hearings.

Biden has repeatedly made remarks of the sort that Obama has labeled racist in other settings.

Biden has other problems as well.

It won't be Sebelius. To pick a woman and it not be Hillary would be an unforgivable insult to the Hillbots.

Maybe I'm indulginmg in wishful thinking, but...

Wes Clark's a good match to Obama in style and temperament.

Wes Clark would completely neutralize McCain's perceived military chops. A career four-star commander of NATO forces vs. a cowboy Flop Gun who's cracked up five planes?

Wes Clark is from the south.

Wes Clark is (sort-of) a nod to Hillary.

By Ruth Graves

WOULD ANGELA WRIGHT'S TESTIMONY HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY?

Angela Wright is another woman who had worked for Thomas at the EEOC who had been subpoenaed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. She told committee staff who inter viewed her that By had pressured for her dates and made inappropriate comments about her appearance, once asking at an EEOC seminar, "What size are your breasts?" Although she was standing by in Washington, she was never called to testify at the hearings.
While Biden says he "insisted" that she testify, Wright and her attorney say that was never communicated to them. Instead, they recall that Biden's counsel Cynthia Hogan suggested that Wright ask the committee to withdraw her subpoena. She refused, saying if the committee wanted to withdraw it, that was their perogative, but she was willing to testify if the committee called her.
In a last-minute, late-night maneuver, Wright and her attorney say Biden offered the concept of a letter releasing her from the subpoena but putting her testimony and that of a corroborator in the official record. Wright acceded to the offer, explaining that her consistent position had been that she was not asking to testify, but she was willing to testify if the senators called her.
BIDEN: "I believe (her testimony) could have (changed the course of history). Now others believed that she would hurt Anita Hill.
OGLETREE: We were concerned about anything that would hurt Anita Hill. But Anita Hill was not going to be hurt by Angela Wright. Congress' job would have been more complicated --they would have to beat up on a second black woman in the course of 48 hours, and that is something they had to weigh.....
I thought her willingness to come forward was commendable, but their treatment of her was despicable and unforgivable. And I think that literally she would have changed the course of history....
BIDEN: I was told (Angela Wright) wanted the subpoena lifted and that people who were strong Anita Hill people wanted the subpoena lifted. They testimony was so strong standing on its own that no matter how good anyone else was, it believed that Anita Hill's would be diluted. It would take away from it.
OGLETREE: If Biden in implying that Hill's team opposed Angela Wright's testimony, that is absolutely, unequivocally, categorically, and positively false. And that is the greatest creative use of fact and fiction that I have heard from these hearings. There is no one associated with the Anita Hill team who will tell you or can tell you that we opposed Angela Wright's testimony....We desperately wanted Angela Wright to testify because she was the one additional witness who was both willing and able to come forward and state that on another occasion Justice Thomas had engaged in conduct that was tantamount to sexual harassment....
And we think that would have taken this thing over the top. It is absolutely absurd for Sen. Biden or anyone else to suggest that anyone associated with Anita Hill prevented Revisting the Thomas-Hill Hearings
Angela Wright from testifying. We wanted her to testify, and we wish she had testified. And we thought the whole deal that both sides of the Congress made to allow her testimony to be submitted in the middle of the night without examination is shameful and reflected poorly on the entire process.

WHY WASN'T A PANEL OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT EXPERTS CALLED?

BIDEN: I wanted a panel on sexual harassment to come and testify, so we could put in context what we were talking about. And it was decided by the Hill people that they didn't want that panel to come on. Again, there was a feeling --communicated to me secondhand -- that Anita Hill had won this thing. She had made her case. And I kept saying, `wrong, this ain't over.' I was very disappointed ....Whether or not it would have helped Anita Hill, it would have enlightened; it would have shed more light on the veracity of the comments that had been made by all parties in my view.

For the umpteenth time, whether a Senator can be recalled is a Constitutional issue not a state issue, and the answer under the Constitution is No.
