Well - it will be announced today, so I thought I’d drop my predictions first. On McCain’s Short List, there are a couple options that would be a dangerous for Obama if McCain goes there. Topping my list are Charlie Crist and Tom Ridge. Here’s what the NYTimes has to say about each of them:
TOM RIDGE: In many ways, Mr. Ridge might be an ideal choice for Mr. McCain. He is a former governor of Pennsylvania, a state Mr. McCain would love to put in play. He was the first secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He is also a dynamic presence on a stage, and his moderate politics could help Mr. McCain as he appeals to independent voters. But Mr. Ridge is a supporter of abortion rights, and that would be a very risky choice given Mr. McCain’s already uneasy relations with conservatives.
Charlie Crist: Mr. Crist’s appeal can be summed up in three words: Florida, Florida, Florida. He is governor of the state, and popular there, and could help John McCain carry the battleground that has been at the heart of the past two presidential elections. Not incidentally, Mr. Crist’s early and vigorous support for Mr. McCain helped Mr. McCain win the Florida primary in January, a victory that arguably nailed down his candidacy. Mr. Crist’s long bachelorhood may have been a political liability, but he proposed to Carole Rome in early July, and the wedding is scheduled for Dec. 12, 2008.
Tom Ridge I thought would be a nail in the caufin for McCain. Personally, I don’t like the guy so much, even though he is Pro Choice. Although that fact I think will get him pasted over by McCain…
That leaves good old Charlie. Crist at the helm in Florida is a hit in my book. He had my pick in the election for govenmer. However, he would not get by vote in November. While Crist’s leadership style has done some good things in Florida, it is McCain that we are electing as the Commander and Cheif. Crist would simply be there to offset some of the McCain we know today.
My perdiction: Charlie Crist. Let’s find out if I get this one right!
Well, it has been WAY too long since there has been a post. For some what of a good reason, I suppose. Meggi and I have been on the road for about 5 of the last 6 weeks… and its been hard to find the time to post! Sooo here we are again. Perhaps in the next couple weeks we’ll post a bit about the trip. Stay tuned for that. We’ll also hopefully post some photos to go along with the trip wrap up.
In the mean time, you could check out Sean on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/srsarts/ He has been posting videos for about the past month. So, until we post again…
A little over due, but click the link to some awesome photos from Brett & Andrea’s wedding in KC in May. It was an amazing wedding! These are just some highlights from it. Enjoy!
Your kidding me, right? It was 95 at 10:00 AM when I got to work today. Really!? It is rarely this hot in Florida or Kansas this time of year. It’s suppose to pour rain tonight…. I’ll keep you posted on that…
Many of the primaries of now come and gone. After going through a crazy battle for the nomination, it looks like Obama is going to take it! Finally!! There were many ups and downs for both campaigns, but Obama was able to stay strong and pull it off.
I followed the election and the results closely through February, March and some of April, but I was getting tired of hearing the same thing from the reporters and news commentators. The fight for the nomination, just went on too long. Yeah, Clinton pulled off some upsets down the stretch, but really, she’s been down and out for a good couple months now.
It’s time to move on… or move forward with the election. The conventions are coming up soon, and the Dems need to have a clear vision and objective before that. McCain has been out schmoozing for months now, while Clinton and Obama duked it out.
The bigger question now: Does Obama take Clinton as his running mate? All signs (and our studio pool) say yes. However, while I think he will do this, I would much rather see him take Edwards or Governor Kathleen Sebelius (of Kansas) as his running mate. Edwards brings a dedicated following from the Green movement and would fit well into a VP roll. Sebelius, a democrat in a very red state, would help further unite the Midwestern region and may even help Obama pull in some serious votes from traditionally red Midwest states.
In the coming days, we’ll have our answer.
For now,
