REPUBLICANS

THE ONLY GOOD ONE IS A DEAD ONE...WHAT A WASTE OF HUMAN FLESH, THEY ALL ARE....THEY CARE MORE THE LIVES OF THE UNBORN THAN THEY DO OF THE LIVING...

TERM LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha ha

That's funny someone shere uggested Heather Wilson, as she was defeated a couple weeks back in the primary. But even if she wasn't, Wilson is still a bad joke.

Democratic VP - Bob Wexler of Florida

Robert Wexler is a Democratic member of Congress serving his sixth term in the House of Representatives.

Wexler has been named one of the "50 Most Effective Legislators in Congress" by the influential magazine Congressional Quarterly and was named to the Forward 50 list as one of the most influential leaders in the American Jewish community.

Wexler is a senior Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and a member of the Middle East Subcommittee.

He's also a senior member of the Judiciary Committee and the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property.

He is a major player in several health care and prescription drugs initiatives, enhanced benefits for veterans, increased funding for public schools, and both a foreign policy and an energy policy that protects Americans at home while advancing our interests abroad in Israel, the Middle East, and elsewhere.

In other word's he's experienced, smart, close to Obama, from Florida and could help bring the state back into the blue side of the ledger.

On the negative side... he's smarter than most and it shows, and he doesn't smile a lot.

But then, maybe America is tired if smiling, empty heads in the executive branch.

Nah. McCain will tap a female.

I am still looking for McCain to try to create buzz for his otherwise boring candidacy by picking Condi Rice, Meg Whitman, Heather Wilson, Carly Fiorina or some other woman. It will be about trumping the Hillary thing and trying to get some women to vote for the GOP on the single issue of , Hey, she's a she..

If that happens, I do hope Hillary is still available and that Bill's secret business dealings are not deal killers for her going on the ticket. I'm not a big Hillary fan, but the prospect of some female conservative hack stealing the women's issues from the women themselves is intolerable---and Hillary is the cure if the GOP puts up such a ringer------as we can expect them to do..
