McCain/Steele?


Barry,

"He couldn't hold his own in his own state "

He DID win, as an independent. HE BEAT the Dem. Seems like the party tried to dump him and the PEOPLE decided he should stay.

Maybe it is the Dem. Party that is on the way out...

Lieberman,,,,,,,,,,,,Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha,He,He,He,He couldn't hold his own in his own state & he can't even figure out if he a Dem, Repub or an Indie much less a pro or con hawk or dove. He stands in a puddle of his own piss. NO WAY, he's on the way out, he just can't find the back door yet.

McCain/Lieberman is a non-starter. Lieberman, for all his "backing of the war" is still very liberal. McCain needs someone from the right wing of the party to bring in the conservatives and evangelicals since, for all his "backing of the war", he is seen by them as very center-left.

Obama/Powell is an interesting thought but, I'm sorry to say, probably too "black". How about Obama/(Gen. Wesley)Clark?

Not that far fetched, Amos...

I heard a Powell interview recently where he said he was "undecided"... Given that McWar had allready sewn up the Repb nomination that leads me to bwlieve that Powell is leaning toward either Clinton or Obama...

But Powell also said that he and Obama had had "discussions" on foreiegn policies amd added that he fasvored Obama's pledge to talk with adversaries...

The way I read it is that Powell is a closet Obama-ite,,,

I also have wondered if Powell might serve in an Obama cabinat as Secretary of State... Heck, he allready knows the job, the various player and under a visionary president might do wonders in that position...

I don't think McWar can win regardless of who he picks... He has nothing to offer the country other than policies that clearly aren't working...

McoCaine / Powell   I wonder if Colin is still interested.

Mac Cane / Rice & beans.

Mc Cain / Cheney


Rove will sort it out, don't you worry.
Diebod will do the rest of the heavy lifting as long as they don't release the election results a week early.

Not a chance that McCain could beat Gore. McCain has so many negatives that are not really being put out, that will come out in the campaign. But my old boss, Al Gore, is not interested in running.

A Clinton/Obama ticket could win, but the likelyhood of a reconsiliation between them is remote. Latest story I have heard floated around is that there will be a deadlocked convention, with Al Gore emerging as the Democratic candidate.

Point to discuss- Could a Clinton/Obama ticket win ( anywhere besides here in Mudcat) against a McCain/Lieberman ticket in the general election?


IMO, no- Demonstrating inclusion would seem to wipe out the (small) lead that Obama has over McCain. Clinton would bring out the more conservative voters that might sit out a McCain vs Obama race.

WHat do you want to bet that THIS is what the Dems will decide on, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again?
