Now you are just trying to be funny here, Thomas. If Paul took the slot the Paulites would rally behind it. All 5 of them. They hate McCain with a capital 'h'.
He'll just follow this thing to its hellish conclusion and Lieberman will be his VP nominee. Here's there slogan:
Crazy Uncle John & Mr.Toad, '08
"Change you effin' deserve!"

Another well thought out and fair blog from the guy who laments the tone of the comments section...sheesh.

Obama would be stupid to take Hillery as his VP.Who in their right mind would want an ex president and first lady around. Bad choice.

Chapter 7 from “You Are the Wind In My Willows” by Graham Greene.
Originally appeared in ’Punch’, May 1916 as “Crazy Uncle Johns Picnic and the Problem of the Bodies”

It was a beautiful crystal blue morning and Toad Manor was full of excitement. Badger was busy gathering this and that and muttering excitedly, "Oh, a picnic, how grand! I do Hope Uncle John is on his best behavior today..." for there was to be a picnic and Uncle John was their guest of honor. "Here Mole, old boy, is there a drop of alcohol left in Toad Manor? It must all be hidden away!" And the two of them, Mole in his waistcoat and Badger in his morning frock, arms full of shiny bottles of various coloured liquid, scurried about. "Is Toad properly medicated?", Mole inquired of Badger. "Oh yes, my dear friend Mole. He has had his Xanax and his anti depressants and looks calm, somehow. Wistful, even." "Oh I do hope so, Badger. If we can just keep Uncle John away from John Barleycorn it will surely be a splendid soiree!” Mole began to mutter dejectedly under his breath. “What’s this?” Badger exclaimed. “Out with it, Mole! What has you going on so?” “Oh Badger”, Mole replied, “I can’t help but remember Uncle Johns last visit. Do you remember the big dinner party? Once our dear Uncle had a couple of sherries under his belt it was ‘fucking gooks this, fucking Jews that’, Toad peed himself, if you recall!”. Badger smiled sympathetically at his worried friend. “Oh Badger, Toads always pee themselves. It’s simply what toads do! And besides, there won’t be a drop of the demon rum in Toad Manor and certainly not a drop in the Grand Meadow, where we shall picnic, so stop your clucking and help me with these bottles.” They carried their awkward armfuls out past the woodpile and into the woods where they deposited them and carefully covered them with leaves and other detritus from the forest floor. “That will keep them Mole, old friend. That will keep them quite well and it is not for you to worry a bit!”

In the dark of the woods flashed a pair of beady little eyes. “Oh yes. Don’t you worry a little bit, friend Mole. Not one little bitty bit!” With that, the sleek shiny weasel was off to report to his sneaky henchmen waiting in the Swamp of Uncertainty.

That was supposed to be “Oh MOLE, Toads always pee themselves." They knew little in 1916 about editing for continuity. Soon after that as you recall, the sun began to set on the English Empire.

MCCAIN DOES NOT NEED TO COUNTER OBAMA... MILLIONS OF DEMS are doing that for him.

Without Clinton's 20-MILLION voters, Obama's quest for America's White House is T-O-A-S-T. That's a F-A-C-T

And a large number of those Dem voters have indicated they will put MCCAIN in the White House no matter what Clinton or Obama say or do. OUCH!

America Needs Leadership, Not Another Do-Nothing Obama Sermon

Obama is counting his chickens before they hatch... THERE IS NO WINNER OF THE DEMOCRAT TICKET UNTIL AFTER THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION.. THAT IS SOME DISTANCE AWAY AND IN THIS ELECTION THINGS CHANGE ON A DAILY BASES.. THE RIGHT DIRT COMES OUT ABOUT OBAMA.. HIS CAMPAIGN WILL BE THE CHICKEN THAT IS ROASTED IN THE END..

Nancy3:08PMJun 4th 2008

I don't trust McCain as far as I can throw him. He is a chamelion, always changing his politics to suck up to voters. John McCain scares the *&^%$# out of me.

OBAMAS GOOD FRIEND!!!!

This is a great idea. Ron Paul would moderate McInsane's bad temper, especially if there a 3am call about crisis. I don't want somebody with quick bad temper answering a crisis call at 3am. I don't want somebody who would be almost 80 years old while still in office to be answering crisis 3am phone call. How about if can't find his hearing aid or is on heavy medication. It's scary.

The parody to this would be the Pope trying to get God and Satin together.

What should be important to everyone is whoever gets picked should fulfill their job according the country's rule book, the Constitution.

When you are watching professional sports everyone expects the judges to not take sides or have their own agenda. They are expected to make sure that both sides stick to the rules. I don't see why a President or any other person "SWORN" to uphold and defend it should have a "platform" The platform has been laid out since 1776 and if the rules are to change, there are appropriate ways to do it and that doesn't mean voting for the next Dictator because you like the platform of that Dictator.

For those of you that think America is a Democracy or that the Federal Reserve is Federal, please do your country and the rest of us a favor by staying home on election day. You are far too uninformed to be choosing our next leader. America is a Republic and the Federal Reserve is privately owned with 12 member banks.

For those of you who just can't figure out what it is going through the minds of the Paul supporters I would suggest for starters watching the online videos Overview of America and America Freedom to Fascism.

I think I can speak for most Paul supporters when I say that living in this country is like being on an ice burgh where the majority of the people want to ride it out while the Paul people are screaming from the roof tops to get off the burgh and into the boat but Americans think the boat is too nutty of an idea. We have been playing this game of arguing over Democrat versus Republican with each having their left or right platform and we then tend to vote based on that and forget all about the Constitution as do our leaders.

Daniel3:41PMJun 4th 2008

Sadly, despite my total disagreement with McCain, if Ron Paul was his VP, I would vote for him... However, I don't have to worry about that, because McCain will NEVER make the offer, and more importantly Ron Paul will NEVER accept it...

We Ron Paul supporters and conservatives will simply be there when the last of the Republican ship sinks, afloat in our lifeboat of principle, ready to start over and win another day.

Shannon3:53PMJun 4th 2008

I can't believe that anyone would want to support Obama or Clinton. I have watched the debates (of what I could possibly stand) and neither of them had any platform with a plan. Both of them have stood up and said they will make a change....It's nice to hear they want to make changes, but they don't have a plan. You can't make changes in health care, economy or even the war in Iraq without a plan! People, Wake Up!

Michele3:53PMJun 4th 2008

I am baffled by the historic momentum comment...out of the last primaries of the season...Obama has won two. Are you kidding me?

Michele3:59PMJun 4th 2008

Okay he has won only six out of the last fourteen primaries since March...boy look at that historic momentum.

Robert OKane4:15PMJun 4th 2008

McCain and Hillary,. Hillary flips sides and goes for VP on McCain ticket

jj4:15PMJun 4th 2008

See a Doctor! One that deals with twisted minds.. McCain might recommend one of those.

Then again, maybe, if you just pull your head out your butt...
