Monday Morning Friends Report: The poll

This was a lot of fun! We've never gotten so many answers, and they were great! There a few people who obviously sympathize with McCain and would like to see his ticket strengthened. Then there are some of you who're just damned snotty about him. Then there are those who had a bit of fun with the question.

All the answers are appreciated. Here they are in the order they arrived.

The Question was:
What person could be added to the Republican ticket (as V.P.) to make it more likely for you to vote for John McCain?

MARSHA - You could add God, Mohammed, Buddha and Brad Pitt to the ticket and I still wouldn't vote Republican.

SCOT - I can think of three Veep candidates who would improve McCain's ticket:
1) Supermodel Carla Brunei
2) Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
3) Al Gore

SPARTY - Abraham Lincoln

IRISH MIKE -  I can not think of one Republican that would make McCain more desirable. I'm sorry, even if a liberal Dem was his running mate, I would have a hard time voting for Sen McCain.

MIKE C -  I would have to pick Jesus Christ. If he can change water into wine, he can change McCain into more of a liberal and make him a lot younger.

ANONYMOUS - Seriously, I would be more likely to vote for him if he had Mitt Romney. 

SANDY - Sorry, there is no one that you could add to his ticket that would make me vote for him!

FLETCH - There is no one that John McCain could choose as a running-mate that would allow me to vote for him.To paraphrase old Ted Hallam of Kentucky, I would rather vote for an old yellow dog than McCain.

BILL FROM WNNCO - Mit Romney! He is well qualified in that he has had executive experience as a govenor and financial experience as a successful businessman. In addition he has a stable family life and no skeletons in his closet. In reality he should be the one that is running for president however that was not to be. His two drawbacks are that he is too good looking and he is too honest.

PAM - Hilllary Clinton

ALICE- Steve Colbert

PAT C - Scott McClellan because we'd eventually get the truth about all the deception that will take place in the administration. Also, we could be subjected to another tell all money making book from Scott.

GIGI - I'd NEVER vote for John McCain even if Jesus were his running mate.

FELIX - Ya know...I know so little about the Republicans (and, Democrats) that it'd be hard to give a fair guess. I will say that McCain has always been my favorite Republican...since Lincoln.

STEVE - There are several:
1.) Obama
2.) Howard Dean
3.) Stephen Colbert
4.) Mickey Mouse

LAURA -Kathy Griffin for VP

CHRIS - The only way I'd vote for McCain is if Ronald Reagan was his running mate.

SKUZZA - I wouldn't vote for McCain if his running mate was the Pope

DASHMANN- No one. Same reason I wouldn't want any part of Hillary.Obama is our only chance to break this Bush - Clinton thing and make a real change.

BINA - Sorry but no one could make me vote for John McCain. I have had more than I can stand of the Republican regime!!!!

TONY - Fidel Castro

IRENE - Nobody. Maybe Bud Woods.

It appears that it’s all down to Alaska Gov Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

The tip-off that Politico is just a “promote Romney” piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! — even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops — I’ll say tops by far — Romney as McCain’s best pick).

Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most — as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most — which says a lot.)

AOL, a main on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.

Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction — hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).

Also, CNN had Romney — kind of out of the blue — attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

All the media frenzy which will surround the remarkable Palin “story” — essentially free to McCain — will be worth millions and millions of dollars of coverage and PR (more money than Romney would provide anyway).
