Obama will choose Chet Edwards  of Texas.

McCain will choose Mitt Romney.

McCain will choose Mitt Romney .. Excellent business man..
but he used to be ( probably still is) a little weak in 2nd amendment issues.. but I don't think he will sell us out on that. You can only hope it's the right choice. I would have liked to see Fred Thompson .. but he absolutely didn't want it.. I also would have liked to see Huckabee.. but that won't happen either..


Obama will probably choose Evan Bayh or Wesley Clark.
He should pick Hillary...
And would be a fool not to pick Joe Biden.

I just thought of this while I was in the shower.. I really would LOVE for McCain to pick Newt Gingrich..
THAT would be excellent.

McCain I have not a clue.  Obama, I'm thinking, will pick Biden

[sixdogsmom]

Joe Biden, I hope!

I corrected my earlier post. just went back and read them and I meant to say
And would be a fool not to pick Joe Biden.

God a mighty..I am having more fast typing senior moments than I can count..
I need to start rereading what I type instead of just hammering out something and hit post.

Makes all the difference in the world on how the statement read.. ( duh)

To be honest I think he would have been smarter vote wise to pick Hillery..
Women voters out there that were for Hillery are rather angry..

Biden is what is called a lunch box liberal. He is strong in things that Obama is not..
He knows about foreign policy ...Biden is a strong Catholic...
He does have a "mouth ' on him and tends to be a bit long-winded.
But he will probably be the pick.

Teresa I know what you mean. My question was who will they pick. Not who should they pick. Makes it a tough question. I will be surprised if anyone can choose both VP's before the candidates announce. I think this is a good test though of how well we understand Both candidates not just who we will vote for.

Biden minces no words.. but some things may come back to haunt him..

'Just Words' That Joe Biden Would Like To Forget
The curse of a loose mouth and Nexis.

By Jim Geraghty

The fun thing about an Obama-Biden ticket is that the McCain campaign can point to a new awkward comment by Joe Biden — either on the importance of experience, in praise of McCain, or in support of invading Iraq — that contradicts the stands and qualities of the Democratic nominee for every day from now until Election Day.

On McCain:
Biden, on a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007: "The only guy on the other side who's qualified is John McCain."

Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: "John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who..."

On Meet the Press, November 27, 2005: "I've been calling for more troops for over two years, along with John McCain and others subsequent to my saying that."

On Obama:
Reacting to an Obama speech on counterterrorism, August 1, 2007: "'Look, the truth is the four major things he called for, well, hell that's what I called for,' Biden said today on MSNBC's Hardball, echoing comments he made earlier in the day at an event promoting his book at the National Press Club. Biden added, 'I'm glad he's talking about these things.'"

Also that day, the Biden campaign issued a release that began, "The Biden for President Campaign today congratulated Sen. Barack Obama for arriving at a number of Sen. Biden's long-held views on combating al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan." That release mocked Obama for asking about the "stunning level of mercury in fish" and asked about a proposal for the U.S. adopt a ban on mercury sales abroad at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

Assessing Obama's Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: "My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany" of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. "I've seen zero evidence of that."

Speaking to the New York Observer: Biden was equally skeptical — albeit in a slightly more backhanded way — about Mr. Obama. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," he said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Also from that Observer interview: "But — and the 'but' was clearly inevitable — he doubts whether American voters are going to elect 'a one-term, a guy who has served for four years in the Senate,' and added: 'I don't recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.'"

Around that time, Biden in an interview with the Huffington Post, he assessed Obama and Hillary Clinton: "The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate."

December 11, 2007: "If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America's children, they should support another candidate," said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. "But I'm confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night."

Also that night, Biden said in a campaign ad, "When this campaign is over, political slogans like 'experience' and 'change' will mean absolutely nothing. The next president has to act."

September 26, 2007: Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro said, "Sen. Obama said he would do everything possible to end the war in Iraq and emphasized the need for a political solution yet he failed to show up to vote for Sen. Biden's critical amendment to provide a political solution in Iraq.

December 26, 2006: "Frankly, I think I'm more qualified than other candidates, and the issues facing the American public are all in my wheelbarrow."

On Obama's Iraq plan in August 2007: "I don't want [my son] going [to Iraq]," Delaware Sen. Joe Biden said from the campaign trail Wednesday, according to a report on Radio Iowa. "But I tell you what, I don't want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years and so how we leave makes a big difference." Biden criticized Democratic rivals such as Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama who have voted against Iraq funding bills to try to pressure President Bush to end the war. "There's no political point worth my son's life," Biden said, according to Radio Iowa. "There's no political point worth anybody's life out there. None."

I saw that post on here before. That is why I don't see Biden as the choice. Also I think both Biden and Lieberman have more power where they are now. Doubt they would accept being a VP. VP usually is not a well known person nationally. Like I said this is very hard to call.

I knew Warph posted this.. and frankly even though he has some baggage.. he would be the 2nd smartest choice in my opinion..
I really thought Bayh or Clark would be the ones, but the news has said it has already been determined that they both have been told that they are NOT the choices.
