McCain and Patraeus. wow that would change the game up. it would rally the base for sure but it looks like we need more than just the base and an Obama presidency is unacceptable. i would love to see that though could you imagine that ticket?

How exciting. And then, Petraus could run in 2012. Wow, what a fantasy. He is the definition of a visionary leader. Shoot, they would win in a landslide. How exciting.

Trust in the American people to make the right choice. I would certainly hate that they go with some liberal leaning VP just to try and get the vote. Remember, Reagan was about as hardline a conservative as you can get....he didn't win over moderates by leaning left. He won over the middle ground, by sticking to his guns, and and standing for what he beleived....he didn't choose Bush to be VP to "win" over democrats.

A VP nod doesn't make sense though. He'd have to retire real quick to make November...and that speculation just doesn't add up.

Well, we're dreaming here aren't we? Mac will play it safe because Rs never have a lead in MSM polls, even a small one, this far from election day. I'm expecting a landslide that will shock everyone else if Mac just manages to avoid any huge screwup like picking a pro-infanticide veep. Then, out of the darkness, steps Fred Thompson………

I feel safer with him in charge of all that. :shock: That would be cool! I love it. I don’t think it is going to happen though.
