<p>God, I love Ann Coulter.</p>
<p>I voted for Romney (permanent absentee).<br>
But, I think McCain has the best chance against the Dems.</p>
<p>Personally, I think a McCain/Huckabee ticket would be plausible…Huckabee would help with conservatives.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hehe…the Dems think Bush is just a puppet to Cheney. ;)</p>
<p>some transcendent force has to animate the emptiness,…</p>
<p>W may be living proof of Intelligent Design</p>

<p>Incorrect. Only two sitting senators have EVER been elected president in the entire history of the US - Harding in 1920 and Kennedy in 1960, and neither was ever VP. There may be an additional one soon though, since three of the four remaining current contenders are senators.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I’m not “eliminating” them. I just classify moving up due to the death or resignation of the incumbent and actually getting <em>elected</em> to higher office as two quite different forms of political advancement with quite different odds of happening.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I agree. As I said in my post, being a sitting VP is fairly good way to get to be president by having the current president die or resign… </p>
<p>…but it’s a lousy platform from which to get <em>elected</em> president. Being a senator isn’t a very promising platform to run from either The best platform in the 20th and 21st century to run for president is to be a governor or former governor.</p>
<p>That’s it! Ann Coulter is simply an attention-seeker… that’s why she makes all the ridiculous comments she does. She likes the attention she gets from the media for being so outlandish.</p>
<p>Mondo, Coulter is a comedian working the political area. Of *course *she loves attention. That’s how she makes a living, just like George Clooney, Jay Leno, or Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Mea culpa. I was only thinking of the post-Roosevelt (post-war) era.</p>
<p>I think we would agree, then, that either taking the veep job or running for governor would be a statistically more sure way of Obama getting to the White House (as a resident) than staying in the Senate if he doesn’t grab the brass ring this time around.</p>

<p>Concur, for another reason: Barack’s main message and differentiator is to change the way things are done and the atmosphere in DC. Joining Billiary’s team as third-in-command would repudiate his message.</p>

<p>Yup. Bill and Hill are entrenched Washington power brokers who play the game better and more brutally than virtually anyone. Becoming a major cog in their machine would take his vision and change credibility down to the negative numbers.</p>
<p>
She’s a comedian??? Wow. Is she really? Seriously? I always thought I had a fairly good sense of humor - it has deserted me when it comes to Coulter.</p>
<p>^^^^ Me, too.</p>
<p>^ Oh come on…Ann is hilarious.</p>
<p>How can you not laugh at this statement?:
