Thirteen names on McCain's running mate list...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

No Rudy

I am glad to see my darkhorse, Richard Burr, is on it. I knew his wife was acting strange when she talked to my parents.

I saw Barbour on Foxnews last night. He's wonderful! A good ole' boy from the great state of Mississippi! And being a tobacco lobbyist would really help McCain in North Carolina, where many people say will be a swing state with Obama's moderate views and broad appeal.

Those many people already smoke dope.

I was being sarcastic .. I forgot to end it with a lot of exclamation points. People are smoking dope when they claim Obama is in any way moderate.

I wonder who the other seven are on that list.

Two other notes though:

1) The VP selection is portrayed as being much more important than it actually is IMO. I highly doubt whoever is on the ticket is going to swing more than a minimal amount of votes unless they really, really suck

2) I don't think this list is accurate, there's too many oddities. Paul Ryan? Richard Burr? Michael Steele? The FedEx guy? Come on now

Burr doesn't surprise me. As I've said, my stepmother is very close with Burr's wife and she went from denying he's been talking with McCain to being very hush hush about it. In that respect, I have to disagree.
