McCain decides on his running mate
John McCain has made up his mind. The Arizona Republican's campaign confirms that McCain has decided on his running mate and will announce his VP choice at Friday's rally in Dayton, Ohio.
As we reported a few hours ago, one of the likely candidates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, abruptly canceled his interviews with reporters earlier today. Coincidence?

Cookie Monster!! God, please let it be cookie monster!!
Any muppet really would be suitably mediocre. Then we could have four years of war stories and cookies! Just what we need to distract us from... what's that? Oh, four more years the Republican "ECONOMY"!!

I sure hope he surprises everyone and chooses a woman for his VP. Preferably Meg Whitman, to take care of the economy! This would surely win over Hillary's girlfriends with the travelling pantsuits!

LOL @ BJ
Because women are sheep and will vote for a candidate just because they are of the same sex. (sarcasm)
