10:40 AM: New post – It’s official: It’s Palin!
———-
The news wires are all over the place this morning with stories trying to figure out who McCain’s veep pick is. They’re providing contradictory reports saying Pawlenty will and will not be in Dayton today. Same same for Huckabee. I’m hearing that Romney will and won’t be in Dayton.
The latest speculation is that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin might be McCain’s choice. Who knows? Instead of breathlessly reporting on every news report that comes out, I’m gonna wait until it’s actually confirmed before I blog about it ![]()
Use this thread as an open one to discuss your thoughts on who you think Mc’s veep choice may be. I’ll start a new thread once we know for sure.

I’ve been touting Palin since February. I re-touted her in July. I’m touting her now. But John McCain has yet to ask my opinion.
Why is that?
Bear in mind the old saying that no one casts their vote based on the Veep choice; I think that’s true even in this unusual year. It’s the person at the top of the ticket who makes the difference.
That said, I’d be happy with Palin, though I’d prefer Romney. If it’s Lieberman, I’ll still vote for McCain, but I’ll forever be scratching my head that Maverick should take such an unnecessary risk.
Aw, heck. I can’t keep a secret. It’s me.
Anthony, it might be that no one casts a vote due to the Veep, but with McCain already to willing to reach across the aisle, his Veep pick better be a solid conservative, or you are going to have people not casting votes because of his Veep choice.
And if you were the Veep choice, I would be more than happy to pull that lever for the John and Tony ticket.

Anthony, have you been thoroughly vetted? I smell scandal!
Details to follow …?
One suspects either he’s going to wonderfully surprise the heck out of us all, or we are all going to nod knowingly at the choice and mutter, “Of course. Should’ve known he’d have picked him (or her).” Or some combination.
Regardless, we definitely hope not to find ourselves having to do a “Three cheers for ______!” when we’d rather groan, because we sense the choice indicates looming November disaster.
Drudge has this story up:
Sounds like a good pick to me. I just read what Wiki has about here, I know I know it is Wiki, but She sounds like the perfect person for the job. Good call Benning. I hope she is the choice. – Lorica
Like I just said…
Yes, sounds like both a “should’ve suspected,” and a good choice.
Anthony, have you been thoroughly vetted?
No, but I did have my shots recently.
Anthony: We’ll let McCain know, just in case he has a cabinet spot open!
“President McCain? Anthony has been shot!”
