Who do you think Obama and McCain will choose as their running mates?

I'll resurrect this thread later on after the choices are made and the person who was correct gets bragging rights.

mccain is going to choose thomas jefferson. he needs someone younger than himself. barack obama is going to pick miley cyrus. he needs someone with experience with actually working to make money.

Not that it's going to happen... but Obama/Richardson and McCain/Romney would be nice. If that happens, I'll be saving up to buy a hitman come January.

that's not gonna happen. one ticket is too brown, and one ticket is too white.

Agreed. There is no way in hell Obama wins states that he now has a reasonable chance at winning such as Virginia, Indiana, and possibly even Michigan (where anti-hispanic sentiment is high), if he puts Richardson on the ticket.

I know, I just wish we could go back to the days were a presidential ballot could be all white.

the only reason there is some anti-hispanic sentiment in VA is because of the illegals. I grew up in NOVA and latinos were always part of the community and everyone got along. it was the recent influx of illegals that changed the attitude.

it's just the way it is. people want a diverse ticket, but not too diverse.

Obama, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Colin Powell, or Wright

McCain, Romney, Jindal, or Palin.

Let's hope Obama doesn't pick Ray Mabus as his vp. We don't want the Nostradamus prediction to come true--do we? In fact, I hope Obama doesn't get picked fpr pres--or McCain either.
