    In a heartbeat.

    I can hear the Episcopal minister turning in his grave, that he should replace God.

    Nah, he should be the Messiah that the Jews are waiting for.

        Sorry, you Protestants all look alike.

        Meh, could have pronounced worse. Had a kid who said his religious denomination is Joe Piscopo.

            Religion is big on Moloka‘i. That much I figured out. Never seen a place that was that house, house, church, house, house, church in my life. Mahalo to the late Sam Peters, jr. (Governor Linda Lingle’s former boyfriend) for giving me the dime tour.

                Trying to get back on topic...

                Im at a loss as to who McCain would choose for a running mate, but frankly it doesnt matter to me since Im not voting for him. 100 years in Iraq is a definite turn off.

                Now, on to Mr. Obama...I like the idea of Bill Richardson for VP. I liked him as a candidate, and I think he is a decent human being with an earnest desire to help not just the Latino voters but America in general. That being said, I agree with a lot of people here that he wouldnt be able to stand up to a lot of the heat that is going to come out in this election. Cabinet member, most assuredly. I think Wes Clark is still being talked about because of his military experience, which would help to shore up the national security gap in Obamas record. Not the best choice, but a choice. While I like Joe Biden, I think hes too "old politics" for what Obama is running on, but thats just opinion. Michael Bloomberg for VP, anyone? If Hillary get the VP slot, and thats a big IF considering how nasty the primary was, I will have to seriously reconsider voting democrat this year. I really like Obama but that would kill it for me. As non-PC as it is to say, there is a real possibility that some racist whack job will shoot Obama putting her in the drivers seat, which is what she has in the back of her head.

                Of course, Id love to see any kind of Bloomberg, Hagel, Ron Paul ticket out there too, but thats wishful thinking!

                  McCain doesn’t like most if not all of the other major candidates with national name recognition. That’s what makes the decision so painful for him. He stands almost alone with Dubya in his position as a centrist neocon Republican. Most GOP politicians have distanced themselves as far as they can from Bush due to his historic low popularity in national polling.

                  Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired African-American 4-star general who bucked heads with Rumsfeld during his tenure, is likely McCain’s only hope. Powell’s willingness to fight an uphill battle with McCain is another story, not to mention he is a year older then the Arizona senator. Sen. Joe Lieberman is the only “national name” that is unequivocally on the same page as McCain. The problem is if McCain chooses the “independent Democrat,” he alienates every last conservative, including the ones who were planning to pull the lever for him as the lesser of two evils.

                  I just don’t think this is true. Gov. Bill Richardson’s résumé and border-state credentials trump any questions of his occasional foot-in-mouth disease. Like Tim pointed out earlier, Latinos are the fastest growing demographic in the country, and Richardson requires no translation on Telemundo. That’s the whole reason Chris Dodd is on Obama’s short list, too. Richardson would refuse a cabinet position for the same reason Gore would refuse VP: he’s already done that.

                  Gen. Clark’s advantage is he can credibly criticize McCain's record, since he has achieved far more than getting shot down by the Viet Cong. He achieved both military and diplomatic success as the commanding general in Kosovo, having gone back after the war to testify against Serbian dictator Slobodan Milošević at the Hague. While he is a visible MSNBC analyst, his weakness is on the homefront, where he has done little besides serve in token banking and defense-related positions and write a few books.

                    Powell? Not. He's about seven months younger. McCain was born 8/29/36, Powell was born 4/5/37.

                      If Gore was given the opportunity by any party to lose as VP again, he'd jump at it, know it would probably be his last shot at the top spot which he has been in politics virtually his whole life for.

                      McCave/What My Lai massacre? Powell would be quite formidable opposition for BO, for sure, and you can kiss what's left of America good bye if they team up and win.

                        First of all, in all the polls I have been reading, BO has never had a 15 point lead. I think the 15 point lead in June was pure liberal media, make-believe, wishful thinking, horse manure, wanna-be-ism.

                        Most business owners, when interviewing a potential employee, ALWAYS choose the guy with the least experience, and with no experience at all in the most important part of the job (a war). Right?

                        We shall see.

                            By what definition of "good"? He did bring a sense of humor to the role.
