John McCain’s Memorial Day Picnic Veep— Er, “Guest” List
Pass the veggie tray, and I’ll have my steak rare, thank you … Oh, and gently toss me a bottle of Budweiser, please.
CLEVELAND - The Memorial Day guest list at Sen. John McCain’s Arizona home runs to at least three Republicans mentioned as vice presidential running mates, but a top aide said Wednesday that vetting possible veeps is not on the agenda.
“It’s purely social,” said Mark Salter, a senior adviser to McCain.
He said Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and their wives were all invited to a Memorial Day gathering at the senator’s home in Sedona, Ariz. Romney ran for the Republican presidential nomination in last winter’s primaries, but dropped out months ago and has endorsed McCain.
Salter said 10 couples in all were invited, adding that McCain often hosts friends and political acquaintances at his compound.
McCain said more than a month ago that he was in the “embryonic stages” of selecting a running mate for the fall campaign, but neither he nor aides have disclosed additional information in the weeks since.

Uh oh. he is starting the “dating” process. I am very convinced that it will be one of those on that list, the same names just keep popping up. its not a coincidence

May 21st, 2008 at 2:37 pmIf McCain were to choose Jindal, I wonder if/how that would affect Obmalamadingdong’s playing of the race card.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:18 pmRon Paul probably yelling “shenanigans!” right about now.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:32 pmOh man, pick Christ, then we can get some good from all this, Florida will get to pick a new governor. Anything would be better than that flower ass Christ.
Christ is the reason I say forget McCain, let the donk win and throw rocks at the real deal. Trying to defend your liberal idiot is a loser. After voting for Christ, all we can do is watch as the media fawns all over the abject lunacy of Christ, windmills, one square and all. At least the legislature put a halt to the global warming taxes Christ wanted.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:37 pmit’s awesome that Bobby is being considered, i def see future presidential involvement for him, but John G is right.. we need him here in Louisiana for awhile
