There's been a lot of talk on the news about Huckabee insisting that he be the one to fill out McCain's now near-inevitable ticket. There's really no mathematical way for Huckabee to win the nomination (yeah, yeah -- I know, Huckabee didn't study math in school, he studied miracles. Hee-yuck!), so everyone is assuming he's in the race for the VP job. And given his roughly 60-40 showing in Kansas today (and he got all of the delegates), he might end up amassing enough power to throw his much-reduced weight around.
There's one fundamental problem with a McCain/Huckabee ticket: McCain is really old, and Huckabee is really crazy. So, there's a better than normal chance that this ticket could bring us that much-feared theocracy the right wing radicals have been wanting for decades.
Any sane people out there will see that (especially if we give them some help in the runup to the election!), and Huckabee will end up being a drag on what could be a very formidable McCain ticket.
So, enough talk about VP Huckabee. Any other ideas for a running mate? (Besides Lieberman -- Oy.)

Ron Paul..he's really old too, but much cooler than Huckabee. A lot saner too.
How about Condi?

Well, if McCain really doesn't pick Lieberman (and if he doesn't pick Huckabee), then I could certainly see him picking Rick Perry. I had figured for a while that the GOP would end up being Romney/Perry, so the Perry half is still game.
Frankly, while I dislike quite a few of his policies, I could live with a Perry administration better than McCain or Huckabee (I think I'd cry if Huckabee was on part of a winning ticket). But then I lived with a Perry governorship for six years (and sort of still do, since I've got land in Texas), so I guess I'm used to him.
Gah!!!!!
Scroll down one entry!
;-D
Well, McCain is also quite crazy and Huckabee is kinda old. So there you go - perfect fit.
