<p>Are you sure about that? I read somewhere that he’d had gastric bypass surgery.</p>

22

<p>Huck wont be McCains running mate. Mac will pick a young, staunch, white conservative. See Tim Paulenty…</p>

23

<br>

<br>

<p>He’s an astute businessman. $$ spent divided by delegates won comes out to a pretty high number. At that rate, he’d need Bill Gates’s fortune…</p>

<p>I would be careful picking a young staunch white conservative for VP. George Bush did that and we got Quayle. Why doesn’t he just pick a smart guy?</p>

24

<p>

</p>

<p>So it’s impossible to be white, staunch, conservative AND smart? Don’t use one example and call it the standard.</p>

25

<p>Condie Rice would be a cool running mate or future candidate.</p>

26

<p>“Romney didn’t pull out for the sake of the GOP. Romney pulled out to perserve what was left of the kids’s inheritence”</p>

<p>He pulled out to obtain the GOPs blessing in 2012 should McCain lose.</p>

27

<p>“Are you sure about that? I read somewhere that he’d had gastric bypass surgery.”</p>

<p>He says otherwise and I believe him based on the documentable history. Again, not a Huckabee supporter.</p>

28

<p>“He pulled out to obtain the GOPs blessing in 2012 should McCain lose.”</p>

<p>Or should McCain be unable to run for a second term.</p>

29

<p>^ ^</p>

<p>Good point.</p>

<p>Then McCain’s choice for VP is even more important.</p>

<p>Mitt spent 41 Million! of his own money on his campaign. FOURTY-ONE MILLION! It actually boggles the mind…:eek:</p>

<p>Do Bill and Hill have that much?:rolleyes:</p>

31

<p>I read that the Billary team left the white house in debt. However, they both secured money in advance for their “memoirs”. (Bill probably got a few really good offers for the Hollywood version. :rolleyes:)</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Selffinancing_facts.html[/url]”>http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Selffinancing_facts.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>“First, the Clintons aren’t Bloomberg, or even John Kerry. They also have two expensive households to run and lives to lead. But they may have more money than people think. Money Magazine reported that Bill earned $41 million in speaking fees in the first six years of his post-presidency, and estimated their net worth at $34 million, though other estimates are much lower.”</p>

<p>“At some point, then, Bill Clinton may regret saying this in Iowa:
They say you couldn’t stop me from spending all the money I’ve saved over the last five years on Hillary’s campaign if I wanted to, even though it would clearly violate the spirit of campaign finance reform.”</p>

<p>^ Why do the Clinton obsessed continue to give Hill and Bill free passes for such deception?? Why is it now ok for them to violate the spirit of campaign finance reform???
I don’t get it…</p>

32

<p>“FOURTY-ONE MILLION! It actually boggles the mind”</p>

<p>41mm is probably just interest income. He still has most of his principal intact. Now you can boggle.</p>

33

<p>“I read that the Billary team left the white house in debt”</p>

<p>Yup, legal fees for the little impeachment problem.</p>

34

<p>From Boston Globe:</p>

<p>"In fact, they are spinning it is a good thing for their fundraising operation that their candidate needed to prop up the operation with her personal wealth.</p>

<p>Campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told donors that the sentiment he’s been hearing from supporters is, “Well, I didn’t know you needed money, I thought you had all the money you need. With Hillary putting in money, I am here for you.”</p>

35

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m sure this can only help Clinton’s fundraising efforts. Now her stalwart rank and file supporters will feel duty bound to “show her the love” in the same way Obama’s supporters have in recent weeks.</p>

36

<p>Maybe Clinton can borrow some bucks from Gore - he’s making money hand over fist from his global warming/book hawking speeches.</p>

37

<p>From what I’ve heard about Al Gore’s relationship with the Clintons I don’t think he’ll be forking over any money to Bill and Hill anytime soon. Unless, of course, the Clintons agree to highly usurious interest rates – you know, like credit cards.</p>

38

<p>Romney quit so the GOP could focus on the general election? You need 9 months for that? There are only 2 Democratic possibilities, one of which everyone has been aware for years and years.</p>

<p>There are only a limited number of swing states, and it is almost always the same ones. Does it take 9 months to read a map?</p>

<p>Romney’s presence was one of the contributing factors to other candidates withdrawing from the race, and now when things go against him, he bails. </p>

<p>It’s not even the middle of the primary season and if anyone had the resources to still make a go of things, it was him. Poor little rich boy didn’t like the how the game was going, so he took his ball and went home.</p>

<p>Nothing heroic here.</p>

<p>No, what I meant was that instead of looking for a VP candidate with all the right adjectives, why don’t we just pick a guy who is intelligent without requiring all the other stuff.</p>

<p>nooooo! Mitt, come back!!!</p>
