Yes, yes, you are so right McWar and if Obama would of had his way 4200 Americans would still be alive. We would have saved 4 trillion dollars and had lower oil prices. keep talking Mcwar you are helping Obama win this thing.

I for one will be very interested to see who McCain ultimately picks for VP. If he picks Romney, will he still be able to pickup Evangelicals? Even if McCain does name is VP this week, I seriously doubt that it will take much attention away from Senator Obama. No matter what McCain does, Obama always seems to trump him. I'll be even more interested to see who Obama names as VP. I see Biden won on Veepstakes. I know it is ultimately up to Obama, but I for one, as do many other apparently, hope that he does pick Biden. I liked Chuck Todd and David Gregory's analysis of the VP situation and agree. THANK YOU!! Obama is laid back, while Biden is the opposite. I very much admire Biden's attack dog style. Also, Biden gives him the foreign policy experience which Obama is lacking, and Hillary could not have helped him there.

Nice to see the media running with the "let's speculate more on who McCain's VP will be angle" at his campaigns request.

It's not gonna work, but ya gotta write something, right?

How about we talk about how John McCain's foreign policy ideas are ALL WRONG?

Has anybody asked him to explain why Social Security is a disgrace yet?

How is he going to pay for Social Security anywho?

Does he still think we should privitize Social
Security and let people invest in the stock market?

Now that more people are unemployed, how will "tax cuts and health care rebates" help them?

How does he propose to pay for the extended Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and possibly Iran?

What is his overriding foreign policy agenda?

Senator Obama has given a DETAILED view of how he would approach foreign policy in his administration (remember when the media was complaining about no details? Now they have details, and not a word - strange)- what is Senator McCain's view?

This is just scratching the surface of course, but it looks like the media is having trouble thinking of something to talk about - so how about the ISSUES?

The problem is...

After the Dem convention, with Obama accepting the nomination on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.s "I have a dream" speech in front of 80,000 people, Obama's going to be a freight train in the news cycle till the Repub convention with nothing McCain can do to stop it.

McCain does have a dilemma. He is in a no win situation. Whomever he picks will gain some votes and lose others. Althought John likes Tom Ridge, I don't think he will pick Tom. He will alienate the evangelical conservatives. The Evangelicals will not be too happy with Romney either. They like Huckabee.
Also, I don't believe Ridge or Romney will put Penn or Michigan in the MaCain Column. The CW is probably correct. Romney, turn on your cell phone. You have a call from McOld.

... and while looking for a subject to which the Republicans can redirect the conversation, guess immigration policy won't work, what with McCain's famous flip flop on that one.

Republicans are in a pickle. They're running a national security "expert" who keeps making mistakes talking about national security and world affairs. And now the Iraqis are telling us they want us out of their country sooner rather than later.

Can't change the subject back to immigration when your candidate is so vulnerable on that one.

Try economy? Well, your candidate already said he doesn't know much about that, and what he does know is purely from the supply siders playbook, which as we've seen leads to serious debt accumulation (and then your candidate's dumb comments about balancing the budget in four years...).

Perhaps the only place left to go is energy policy. Sure, there's your candidate's flip flop on drilling, too, but maybe people are hurting enough at the pumps to look past that one. Then again, those T. Boone Pickens commercials are like broken glass under bare feet, but what else can you do?

My suggestion would be to nominate someone else. Nothing is official until the convention. Tell your candidate he needs to come up with some excuse, like health, and then open the convention to a new candidate search.

We are lucky enough to have a choice between Hilary or Barrack to take the next helm and get us going again.

So yes, do announce your VP Senator McCain, it won't really matter anyway. I am a Hilary supporter. Although devastated with her loss, I will support whoever the dems nominate - and that is Obama. Just so not another Repub take office.

Roofin Reality, Houston, Tx. — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:53:43 GMT

Senator McCain is kind of caught in a bad spot.
If he picks now, it allows Senator Obama to counter his move and checkmate him in a few weeks with his Obama's se;ection.
If he waits until the latter part of August, he gives the spotlight to Obama and the Dems for the next few weeks until the Olympics starts.

Going now - May not get the attention he really wants as Obama is still overseas and continues to do well. And, gets the cache for just a short period of time to boot.
But, it knocks Obama from completely dominating the news cycle. And depending on who McCain picks, could pressure Obama into making a selection he would otherwise not(want to?) make.

Going (much) later - May lose too much traction with the electorate so much that he can't recover. But, going later does allow him to blow all of his General Election money now (before the Rep convention when he gets $84 million in taxpayers money) to close out his campaign.

LESD — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:54:43 GMT

It's an interesting argument in favor of the early pick, but McCain really needs to blunt the momentum Obama is likely to have coming out of the Democratic convention. You can only play the VP card once, and McCain has to know the GOP convention will seem short on excitement following the charged event the Democrats have planned. He could limit that problem by announcing his choice, the day after Obama's acceptance speech.

One other point, the VP choice has the POTENTIAL to help him...but only if he makes a choice that appeals to as broad as possible a coalition of social conservatives and moderate swing voters. That's a tall order.

Picking a VP this week will do little to take the spotlight away from Obama considering the lack of enthusiasm for McCain, much less his VP pick. Most McCain voters are just anti-Dem or anti-Obama voters, not people thrilled with McCain so don't look for intense interest lasting much past the announcement. At least not among the public as opposed to the chattering class.

It will also give Obama the luxury of getting to pick last, knowing exactly what kind of ticket he's going to be up against. Like the home team last change advantage in hockey.

McCain was picked because he was the only candidate that the Republicans could stomach. The Huckster preacher was too much for the non religious conservatives (and there are plenty of them), and Romney is not Christian. He'd never get the vote from the south, nor in many other places. They really do not have a great bunch to select from. If there are some young Republicans who can reform their party, bring it into the mainstream, and actually have some vision that fits the future instead of the past, they might reconstruct the party, otherwise they need to depend on charisma and one shot chances.

Joe Scarborough is an arrogant personality that suffers from a lack of self-identity and self-confidence. Note how he talks over people and if anyone strongly disagrees with him he has been known to get up out of his cahir and walk out. He exhibits a "know it all" attitude on the outside while lacking a sense of true self on the inside. He is like an immature child who seeks to be the center of attention, has difficulty being told he is wrong, and sees the world in black and white with no gray areas. Therefore, you either agree with ihim or you don't.

Hello Mr. Todd,

I am sure you have by now seen the new McCain's web ad mocking the media. Most of the faces on the ad are from MSNBC.
He just realise now that the media is covering Obama more than him when the news seem positive for Obama, where as when most of the news were negative, he did not have anything to say - This is the height of whining and desparation.
May I ask you why the media is not doing enough to generate news for McCain?

You guys should have spent about a week discussing his czechoslovachia gaffe, another two weeks discussing viagra, may be another two weeks discussing his calling social security "disgrace", another two weeks discussing his campagn derailment and possibly the comments by his economic guru that is "Mental Recession" and "Nations of Whinners" should have still been a subject by now. Then, I think he will feel good about the air time he is getting.
