Who should be Vice President?

[pmcalk]

We all have ideas of who we want to win--whom would you like to see pair up with your guy or gal?  I think it's going to be hard to beat Huckabee's choice:

quote:Huckabee Chooses Jesus as Running Mate

Move to Shore Up Evangelical Base

In a bold move that could dramatically alter the playing field of the 2008 G.O.P. presidential race, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee today named Jesus Christ as his vice-presidential running mate.

Governor Huckabee has made an increasing number of comments about his relationship with Jesus in recent debates, but few Republican insiders expected him to announce that he was anointing Christ as his vice-presidential pick.

"This could be huge for Huckabee," said Stenson Partridge, a veteran G.O.P. consultant. "Among Republican voters, Jesus Christ is even more popular than Ronald Reagan."

The Reverend Pat Robertson, a supporter of former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, said he was "blindsided" by the news of Huckabee's decision: "I talked to Jesus last night and He didn't mention anything about it."

At a raucous Huckabee rally in Davenport, Iowa today, supporters of the former Arkansas governor could be seen holding signs reading "HUCKABEE/CHRIST '08."

It is "highly unorthodox" for a presidential candidate to select a vice presidential running mate who is a prominent figure in the Holy Bible, says Davis Logsdon, dean of the School of Divinity at the University of Minnesota.

But according to Mr. Logsdon, if the Huckabee-Christ ticket makes it all the way to the White House, it could be historic in more ways than one: "If Huckabee is elected and then something happens to him while in office, we would be looking at our first Jewish president."

Elsewhere, a madman attempted to take hostages at former Sen. Fred Thompson's campaign headquarters in Rochester, New Hampshire, but found that everyone had been given the week off.

Hillary needs to be appointed by Barack to search for the best running mate for him. Then she should say she looked everywhere and found herself best suited for the position.

Too bad the voters failed to see the fallacy in that process in 2000's election.

Obama - Winfrey
Huckabee - Christ
Giuliani - Bloomberg
McCain - Leiberman (mixed ticket)
Kucinich - Kucinich's hot wife, or a space alien (could she be a space alien?  Would explain things.)
Romney - Forbs
Edwards - Grover (from Sesame Street)
Clinton -  Any former college not serving time in federal prison for fraud.  So. . . probably Bill.

Whoever is elected President should IMHO reach across party lines for the running mate..

It has been done before... if I am not mistaken.

I think it would go a long way towards reuniting
our country..

Probably doesn't have an ice cubes chance in H#*l....

What the heck... I like the idea.

Richardson and Thompson are the two best VP candidates at the moment.

Clinton and former Senator Bob Graham of Florida

or possibly

Clinton and Richardson in a play for Latin vote.

or

Clinton and Obama if Obama can bring the Chicago machine into the deal.

Big disappointment.  As a former John Edwards supporter and a latent populist I have to say Edwards has been running for president for 6 years now and he should be doing better considering what he has put into it.  His whole act is wearing thin with me.  It's time for him to pull out and work at becoming a statesman.  I also heard a devastating criticism of how Edwards played his role as vice president candidate in the last election, pointing out that he spent the time laying groundwork for his next run for president instead of supporting Kerry.  Not a team player.
