August 27, 200818 yr http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/5967502.html There are some people who are claiming that John McCain may consider Kay Bailey Hutchinson for vice president, in an attempt to grab disenfranchised Hillary supporters. Others think she's more interested in quitting her Senator seat in 2010 to run for Texas Governor.
August 27, 200818 yr It is a decent pick. I am not a fan of anyone that he had on his short list, mainly because I am a huckabee supporter, but I think it can work. I think it might show more "change" and still conservatism than people would think out of the GOP

August 27, 200818 yr Colin Powell will not be picked as the GOP VP. In fact, he's considering endorsing Obama. Also, Kay Bailey Hutchinson and McCain hate each other. I don't see it happening.
August 27, 200818 yr Have they even met up at any point recently? I still think he goes Romney, but I cross my fingers, as a democrat, that he goes Lieberman or Ridge. :shifty
August 27, 200818 yr Romney as McCain's VP would only enhance House-Gate. I say go for it. What is House-Gate?
August 27, 200818 yr Romney as McCain's VP would only enhance House-Gate. I say go for it. What is House-Gate? It is the out of touch argument about McCain because his wife owns a lot of property and he doesn't know about all of her business dealings. Of course the prenup pretty much guarantees that he has no reason to pay attention to her finances, but who really cares about that?
August 27, 200818 yr Romney as McCain's VP would only enhance House-Gate. I say go for it. I liked Romney's response when asked how many houses he owned: One less than John Kerry! The dems don't seem to care when a guy is a gazillionaire as long as it their guy. This is such a ridiculous, non issue. The only people who seem to care are the goggle wearing democrats who will paint anything.
August 27, 200818 yr This is such a ridiculous, non issue. The only people who seem to care are the goggle wearing democrats who will paint anything. I wish that was the case. However, the GOP has been the ones targeting Dems by saying that they were either elitist, out of touch, or something similar. Remember the Kerry windsurfing thing? This is the big problem with Rovian politics: nothing's ever off-limits.

August 28, 200818 yr come on, we all know McCain's going to pick Mitt Romney. They are close friends. I think that would be dumb though because he is losing all the anti-monogomist votes

That's called being out of touch.

That's called being out of touch. While they make it look that way, the fact is that HE does not own that many houses. They threw in the houses his siblings inherited from his father.
August 28, 200818 yr He wasn't asked how many homes he owns by himself. He was asked how many homes he and his wife own. He should know that. Give me a damn break.
August 28, 200818 yr Supposedly McCain's going to announce his VP pick tonight shortly after Obama's convention speech. Steal a little of the thunder.

That's called being out of touch. His wife invests in real estate, she has many condos spread out all over the place. That was where the confusion was on his part. Do you think he cares or closely follows her investments that way?
August 28, 200818 yr I don't care how many properties he owns and I don't care how involved he is or is not in the management of his or his wife's investment portfolio and I don't know why anyone would care. If you care about either of these things, why?

If you care about either of these things, why? Why? That's an easy answer. The only people who care about such things are die hard democrats who need something/anything to harp on.
August 28, 200818 yr My parents, if they had as much money as the McCains, would still at least be able to tell you without needing a staffer's help how many houses they own. He's clearly out of touch, and his statements that the economy is doing well reflect that.

We have X number of properties that we use as a family. I'm not sure how many investment properties we've got.

Right, because candidates all say the perfect things for the thousands of questions they are asked on a weekly basis. How is this any different from Obama saying we have 57 states?
