Give Schwarzenegger credit for honesty. He knows that offshore drilling will not provide immediate relief in oil prices. Would take 10 years to see any result and even McCain called it "mostly psychological". When another Republican, particularly one of his stature, says McCain is "blowing smoke" take heed. The question is what is McCain smoking......did he really think the American people would be so stupid as to accept gimmicks like this or a gas tax holiday. Time for four new tires on the Staight Talk Express.

And with the passage of the GI Bill of Rights, Jim Webb takes a commanding lead over Barack Obama on "Getting Things Done". It's Webb-1, Obama-0, for those of you scoring at home.

Also America, get used to seeing "Massive new program passed by the Democrats" if Obama manages to win this fall. Keep a close eye on your wallets.

This is completely a homer voter, but go Gov. Sebelius. I did some work on here re-election campaign, and she is a fantastic person and has done great things with fixing Kansas' horrible budget left at her doorstep and has large appeal across the board for both Democrats and Republicans.

On Fox News Channel this afternoon, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) is asked if his signing a bill authorizing chemical castration of sex offenders hurts his chances of being tapped as VP. “I really don’t care about the consequences of this politically,” he said.

Arnold should stick to his own backyard. All these green-nicks that say drilling wont lower the cost of gas anytime soon have their heads up a dark hole. Drilling wont lower prices anytime soon but developing alternative fuel cars will? I guess you green-nicks think that the world can mass produce all these green cars overnight? Just in case you didnt know, there is a battery shortage. Try a comprehensive plan that includes drilling, nukes, coal, and green cars and green energy. Gas isnt going to go down anytime soon so be happy its only $4. Its going to get a lot worse because we cant just stop using it overnight. The cost will decrease demand but not enough to make a difference because there are other users who are just getting used to drinking the stuff. Are you greenies going to demand that Chins gets green? Im sure they will do whatever O'bamazoole asks them to do, because he can give really swell speeches.

......................................................
I think sex offenders are the lowest form of life on this planet.Scum. Having said that, I believe in, and have fought for an America governed by the rule of law. Even when I wholly disagreed with the law. It would seem to me, that by any measure, involuntary castration is cruel and unusual punishment. Anyone who advocates this posture should be immediately excluded from VP consideration.

Jef Green, Portland OR — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:39:46 GMT

I wanted to throw out what I think is an interesting VP prospect.

Former Rhode Island Republican U.S. Senator Lincoln Chafee. Sen. Chafee as you know was often described as a "liberal Republican" and is currently an Independent actively supporting Obama's campaign.

Chafee has a great new book out titled "Against the Tide: How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President".

It is a fascinating memoir from someone who shares progressive values but was on the inside of the Republican caucus. The story he tells about the first meeting with Cheney the day after the Supreme Court decided the 2000 election is... well, "telling".

As the only Republican who voted against the Iraq War, Chafee would create a clear anti-war bipartisan ticket and still be pro-choice, pro-basic rights, pro-balanced budgets. Obviously the downside is that Rhode Island is not a big swing state.

Imagine the narrative, every time they talked about Chafee they would point out that like Obama he was against the war from the beginning. Literally a walking talking example of a "true maverick" Republican that got it right on the most important test of political leadership in our time.

One other interesting thing that I did not know was that Sen. Chafee cast the deciding vote in the Senate against passing a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. The guy just seems to possess the certain political and moral courage that has me so excited about Obama.

I agree with Sen. Cody. I think Gen. Wes Clark would be a good VP for President Obama. He speaks well, looks right, and would help President Obama in the general campaign.

In Denver, KS Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D) called VP speculation “flattering and a little surreal,” but wouldn’t say whether she’d accept. “The decision is his choice,” she said. "I'm sure he'll make a great choice for the country."

****************************

Gov. Sebelius' response is refreshingly modest, and unabashedly truthful. She's cool.

Dianne,

Thanks for the mention, and good thoughts. All is well. Family visiting from out of town pulled my focus from poster to hostess, and rightly so.

Obama can choose whoever he wishes for Vice President. It will not change the fact that he simply is not qualified for the presidency of the United States. He has no experience on the international scene. His empty platitudes and call for "change" have become wearisome to many Americans.
His associations with left wing haters of America like Wright, Pfleger, the Chicago Dynamic Wether Underground duo reveal him for the left wing lunatic that he is. Kerry, Dukakis, Carter, Mondale, have all failed due to their liberal agendas. Rest assured that Obama will follow them into the dust bin of history as his efforts will fail.

I'm going with Jim Webb for Obama, he'll add the needed foreign policy credentials. I think that will be a formidable ticket. McCain could have JC himself as his veep and still lose! However, I think he's going with Pawlenty.

In your article I see a mistake that many make.. the difference between it's and its.
it's is a contraction of it is.
its is a possessive adjective (like my,his,their..) Hence (from your article):
WSJ released excerpts from ITS interview
WSJ adds Romney to ITS VP profiles.
Explained to you with pleasure.

I really feel that Obama should not pick Hillary for his VP. I think there are other places in his cabinet that she would be better suited for. I do, however, think that he should let the American people know what position he would like her for if he should be elected President. That's a bit unusual, to make any position in the cabinet public before the election, but in this case I think it might ease some peoples' minds, especially if it is a position that she wants and is enthusiastic about. I think that would help heal the party.

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much. From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

Additionally, for the sixteen months he has been on the campaign trail, he has been in session 26 days while collecting his annual salary of $185,000.00, plus bennys. (Your tax dollars at work).

143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.

God please forgive our sins and ignorance. And God help us if Barack Obama becomes President.
