BS: A Little Political Question

As a hypothetical: Obama/Edwards vs McCain/ ?
Your thoughts?

Look in the dictionary for the term "glutton for punishment" and you'll find a link to this thread.

You haven't had enough of this nonsense on all of the other political threads?

If Edwards takes the job, he'd be an excellent point. Maybe a governor from a swing state might be a bit better.

II suspect that an almost unbeatable combination on the Republican side would be McCain/Rice.

Maybe not, though. If the war were still uppermost in voters' minds that would be true, I think. The word, however, is that the economy is currently of the greatest concern. And that should mean that McCain/Rice would be weak.

Incidentally, I think that an almost unbeatable combination would be Obama/Gore.

McCain/Rice v Obama/Ferraro would force them all to talk about the issues.

Edwards didn't even carry North Carolina in '04 so it is very unlikely he'd be chosen as a VP... Better Attorney General...

The short list of VP's for Obama are Bill Richardson (my choice), Mark Warner or Jim Webb...

The short list of VP's if Clinton steals the nomination are Satan, Snively Whiplash and Charles Manson...

Now, Bobert, I have to remind you that Charles can't run 'cause of that felony conviction thing. Plus the campaign would have to spend a fortune getting his cute little prison tattoo photoshopped off all those pictures.

Likewise Snidley Whiplash must be Canadian as his foe is Dudley Do Right.

I guess that leaves Satan.

Okay, Hell with it... It's Clinton/Satan...

Obama/Richardson sounds pretty good. Plus Richardson looked a lot better at the Obama rally with the beard, maybe he should have had that when he was running!

Well, at least they'll be able to finance the campaign

I've been wondering..if Richardson is Judas, what does that make Hillary?

Would Hillary look better with Richardson's beard?
Would James Carville look better with Hillary's hair?
Would Macain look better with Obama's jowls?
Should Senator Clinton stop buying her pant suits at Target?
These are all questions of substantial substance, not just appearent appearence.
I blame the French...again.

Time for another beard in the White House. If Clinton gets in Bill cab grow it.

But I think a beard would suit Obama rather well - he looks a bit too boyish for a man of 46. A beard would add gravitas. Bushy but neatly trimmed.

I love the concept, Skivz...

A Mister Potato Head game for the current campaign... If we had mthought of this before we'd still be runnin'...

Nevermind, juist don't put McCaion's jowels on me... I have enough difficulty getting my sweatshirts over my head as it is, thank you...
