Is the question mark by Liebermann's name because FR forgot where he's from?

I think it more appropriate to place a question mark where his party affiliation is indicated.

I don't want to lose a Senator to the vice presidency. If we had to,...it should come from a Blue Governor state. I really like Joe Biden and Jim Webb. The GI Bill is important and I would encourage every patriot who supports our troops to get on the horn, send an e-mail or otherwise contact Bush and let your voice be heard. Otherwise the legacy he leaves us with is despair.

I can't believe that idiot Rush, and the rest of the neocon repubs think that Bobby Jindal is their answer to our 'Golden Warrior', as they call Senator Obama in the UK.

The man has'nt courage enough to honor his first name given him by his parents. Jindal is the fraternity brother of that SC self hater Clarence Thomas.

Jindal could'nt measure up to Obama, anymore than one of those spare ribs McCain shoves down his throat on the weekends.

Isn't Jindal - besides being too young and "inexperienced" - off limits now because of chemical castration and his rabid support for intelligent design? Hard to win moderates with those stances.

THE SHORT LIST. New York Times gets to the bottom of John McCain’s standard answer on potential veeps. Insert-name-here is part of the “the next generation of leadership” for the party.

You would think John McCain would steer clear of messages that reinforce the multi-generational gap between himself and anyone he would choose as his VP (as well as the generational gap between himself and Obama). When he says that "insert name here" is part of the "next generation of leadership for the party" doesn't that automatically make him part of the last (over-the-hill and out-of-touch) generation?

Another terrific VP candidate for Obama is MA Rep Bill Delahunt. The pompus way he questioned current VP Chief of Staff David Addington, exposing Addington to al Qaeda idenification was perfect. Tit for tat Republicans on the Plame deal, and no Vanity Fair spread for Addington. It's about time the Democrats expose the Republicans to terror threats. Rep. Delahunt is a hero and a true patriot for exposure of Addinton to al Qaeda. Good job Rep Delahunt. Democrats need many more like you! If you're not VP timber, then certainly you deserve a high ranking position in the state department. You've made us proud and we salute you!

it will take awhile for different types of fuel,but why not look at Brazile and the way they found an alternative not to depend on oil and it's safe for out ozone.and then maybe there will be a future for our children.Also,why not speak with our enemies first at least we can say we gave it a try.Instead of starting a senseless war for example Iraq.our commander in chief who by the way has old oil money did not waste anytime in starting one with Iraq and did not wait on the U.N can you imagine if he would have waited a few more months,I believe the outcome would have been different.

'Tis a shame that this country still is full of racists. That "tan" comment by Grover Norquist is pathetic and screams racism. Everyone should be outraged. John McCain is too old, cheated on his first wife Carol Shepp with his current wife, Cindy, and has reinvented the term "flip flop." Doesn't anyone care about what is right anymore? GO OBAMA...we need the republicans out of power. They have had their chance for almost eight years. When Bush was first elected gasoline was $1.47 a gallon. We need leadership for the people, not the leadership for profit!! GO OBAMA!!!

McCain would be better off
with John Kasich as his Running mate.
He must WIN Ohio,Pennsylvania,New Jersey,Michigan
if he expects to win the way the "Polls" are trending now.
Obama would be better off with Dick Gephardt
as his Running mate.He would help a great
deal bringing the Anti-Nafta Labor crowd along,
also he looks "Presidential" himself.
Missouri is a Vital and Important state
for Democrats.
