Huckabee believes that evolution is a myth. He should help lock up the science-hater vote.

If this turns out to be true McCain will be out of money the day after the convention. No one will contribute to that losing duo!

McCain would be nuts to pick this guy. His poor showing in the primaries is one reason. Another is that, with Obama the nominee (and unless a miracle occurs that’s what’s going to happen) there will be hell to pay if McCain beats him in the general election, which he’s almost sure to do after Obama has managed to irritate the largets block of voters out there - blue collar white people.
If McCain and another white male win there will be cries of racism and accusations that a racist America wouldn’t vote for a black candidate.
McCain NEEDS a minority VP. I still think Condoleeza Rice is the one for the job. All bases are covered there: female, black, educated, brilliant, and experienced.
All the wind would be taken from the sails of those who cry all of the above, sexism, racism, lack of and education experience at every opportunity.

Pilgrim,
I disagree. The cries of “racism” have already started, as we all knew they would. But the only ones who pay any attention to that sort of ignorant yammering are the same ones who see nothing wrong or racist about the fact that over 90% of black vote for Obama in racial lockstep.
In other words, those who indulge in this sort of partisan race-baiting or are in any way influenced by it wouldn’t vote Republican any way. Screw ‘em!

Rice would be an easy target as a continuation of the current presidents’ failed administration. The former USS Condolezza doesn’t help much either.
Flipper John already has enough of a sink hole to run away from.

I’ll infer that you wouldn’t vote for a McCain/Rice ticket but you wouldn’t vote for _____/_____ (R) ticket anyway. Not really helpful as a political barometer as you’d think.
Rice is a poor choice for fleshing out the ticket because she’s more liberal than I like, closer to McCain on a number of issues. But on a sheer, gut wrenching emotional level when she tore Robert KKK Byrd a new one I became an ardent fan. Strength and intelligence.
never mind, if she’s in, I’m in. : )

Bat,
You’re right about a couple of points (especially the screw ‘em part) but I’d still like to see the rug yanked out from under them before they can make any more of an issue than they already do.

Actually, a more intriguing question is who Barack Obama will choose as his running mate.
Of course the answer to that is easy… whoever his wife Michelle tells him to choose!

FOTW, so you were against Rice before you were for Rice?
Help is on the way!
