Vomit is exactly what McCain does when he does not take his medication for his many medical issues....is he even going to last until November?

No, no, no. Hillary is what is wrong with that picture. She doesn't belong and Obama will NOT make the mistake of picking her for VP. She doesn't even have the class to concede the race when it is obviously over for her. She's pure trash. Absolutely not!

She's trash, but trash attracts flies...not a good analogy, I know.

Fact is, with Hillary, Obama CAN'T LOOSE...without her, he most likely will win, but it will be tougher.

He'll win but if Hillary is brought along, she'll bring too much drama to the campaign. These people bring too much luggage along anyway!

Hillary could not be VP and Senate Majority leader at the same time. It is one of the other.

It sounds like all you seem to care about is gender and race.

Sad to see that no one seems to care about the future of the US... they just want to feel good to see minorities and women in positions of power, regardless of how damaging that will be to the United States.

As long as some people continue to vote for people based on their need to "feel good" about having minorities and women in power, based on race/gender, rather than merit and qualifications, this country will continue its path to doom and decadence.


I should have my poison-suicide pill ready if your politically correct "Dream" ever comes to pass. If an idiot like Obama is president, a radical like Pelosi is Speaker, and a power-hungry freak like Hillary leads the Senate and are running this country, it will be the end of it anyway.

Obama can't lose anyway. He doesn't need that pathetic woman dragging down his ticket. Face reality.

The OP said President of the Senate. This was correct.

The Vice President has no constitutional responsibilities other than serving as president of the Senate, presiding over that body (except in Presidential impeachment trials, when the chief justice of the United States presides), and voting only to break ties. The Vice President may address the Senate only with the Senate's permission. He may also interpret the Senate rules, but his decisions may be—and have been—overruled by a majority vote of the Senate.

Actually JFK represented his MA district in the House between 1947 and 1953 and then served in the Senate between 1953 and 1961 before becoming president. And before that he served as a naval officer in the Pacific during WWII. Compared to that experience Obama is a pure novice. Someone figured out that when he annouced his candidacy he had served 143 days in the Senate (the number of days the Senate was in session since Obama was sworn in).

As far as McCain being an old man people who know him well attest to his stamina. He puts most people much younger than him to shame. I understand you don't agree with his views. But don't disparage the man just because of his age. That's called bigotry.

You're right, because he already has one pathetic woman named Michelle Obama. She is pathetic with a big nasty chip on here shoulder. She can certainly drag down his entire ticket (and probably will before it is all over).
