I think they're gonna go for Romney though - Karl Rove has been pushing him relentlessly behind the scenes from the bat lair in his mom's basement, apparently.
What they're failing to grasp is, it's such a suck fest over in Rightwing World, that pretty much
anybody they choose is going to be both awful, and easily beatable.
I hope they pick
Mr. Magic Underpants. Just the sight of Guy Smiley's perfectly quafed hair helmet and perma-tan standing tall next to squaty McCain the Crypt Keeper's blinding whiteness, will be entertainment enough.
Bobby "Exorcise the Demons" Jindal would be even funnier.
Guiliani would be great to attack for his "judgment" to put the Anti-Terrorism Center back into the building that was just attacked in '93 over the objections of security experts. And we could have TONS of fun with the dress thing.
Liebermush would demoralize Republicans, and energize Democrats to kick his traitorous ass.
And then there are a bunch of no-name losers McCain could come up with who are so experience deficient themselves, it would undercut McCain's proven bullshit about Obama's experience.
He could also choose Cheney - he of the worst approval rating in history - who'll probably croak about the same time as McCain himself, putting a Democratic Speaker of the House into office to the horror of many a Republican.
Or McCain could choose Huckabee, thus obliterating the whole "Barack's got a funny name argument".
He could choose Fred Thompson and put the entire country into a coma that would make Terri Schiavo look lively by comparison.
And last but not least, he could choose Condi Rice, at which point we'll simply have Michelle Obama stand next to her, point, and go, "Are you serious?" and win in a walk.
This is fun!
