Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney are possibilities.  There's also a small chance that Huckabee will be selected.  He hasn't yet been designated a speaking spot at the Republican convention.  He's a great speaker and McCain would probably give him a spot.  Since he hasn't yet, there's probably a chance that he's being considered for the VP nominee.  However, I think Pawlenty or Romney are more likely to be selected.

I have to wonder if the Mormon thing is going to be a real problem for Romney. Most Christians don't consider Mormons to be part of their religion. Furthermore the whole weird thing with Mormons believing American Indians are Israelites or whatever weird stuff they believe could come back to bite Willard.




So some of them despise Mormons so much that they would rather vote for Obama who supports partial-birth abortion as well and also has odd views of babies who survive an abortion?

Changing my vote to Romney

The selection of Biden makes the probability of a Pawlenty choice zero.

Pawlenty is too much of a newbie and would be wayyy too green in a debate with Biden.

All pro-abortion candidates are off the table.
It would cause a mutiny and I bet Schmidt and Davis
made sure Mccain knows that.

Well let me put it this way. We have a lot of wishy washy, minimal Christians in the USA. If this is going to be a tight election then some of those votes could matter. They might feel more comfortable with Biden who is a Catholic than with Romney who is a Mormon. People in America generally understand Catholics as being normal even if they don't follow Catholicism. We don't generally understand how Mormon men can look so much like humanoid robots or how the women can want to have such large families and not feel worn out after the third one. (by the way I personally think their large families are nice, they're adding to the white population in America).

Americans don't understand how Mormons can believe some of the wild and wacky things they espouse. We tell their annoying missionaries to go away and leave us alone, we make jokes about how best to prevent them getting to the door, etc. some of which are quite funny but would be criminal if carried out in real life.

So basically Catholics are considered fairly normal even if different from most Christians in America on a few points, and by comparison Mormons are considered wacky by the general population.

Nevertheless I think any problems that Romney might have in this regard could potentially be solved by juxtaposing very nice, conservative looking Mormons with Obama's pastor. lol

Support Huckabee for VP!! I think he is dumb enough to choose Lieberman, but keep an eye on Romney.

He may chose him because of color and he was secretary of state!That could offset Biden experience,leadership and diplomacy.

And he's also as liberal and white/Jew-hating as Obama. I don't think McCain is that stupid but I could be wrong.

Well we Serbs lose anyway!Who ever wins we lose.On one hand we have McCain who criticize Clinton for not sending American troops in Serbia,on other side we have Biden who was war monger against Serbs.That is why i will not vote.It would be voting against my own people and i think it's same case with Jews and Israel.

Obama is more likely to attack the Serbs again than McCain. You can't not vote for the sake of us all.

I think Lieberman is no threat to be picked.
(And choosing Powell would be a sign of schizophrenia)

My assumption is that since Lieberman has been thrown a bone
(a convention speech),  he wont be picked for VP

So there is some relief there.

Mccain has a history of going off the reservation but I think
this time Schmidt and Davis have a leash on him.

Also I'm not happy with the way Huckabee has publicly trashed Romney recently and has also issued a warning to Republicans to not criticize Obama.

in defense of those republicans who say not to bash Obama too much is that Obama will only end up bashing himself...that or another democrat such as Hillary supporters...It is better for your enemy to make your other enemy look bad...that is, in an interesting parallel...let the Shiites kill the SUnnis and vice versa rather than Israelis deal with the dirty work.

I hope it's Romney, for sure. I don't think his Mormonism will hurt him as much as the fact that the other choices are total losers will hurt them.

Hello again C F ...I hope he picks Mitt too for two reasons, first Mitt backed out early in the race so there would be no division in the Republican party, and Mitt is more conservative than McCain so it would be a good balance.

Romney would be best. Cantor would be good also, but he is too little-known.
