That's right - a hypocrite. Our best hope is that we will get a veep that is outwardly xian (maybe even emphatic) but inwardly a nonbeliever. That’s right – a hypocrite.

“Serving the public”- my A$$.

I don’t care who they pick, I already know who I am voting against.

They can spout religion but they don’t act it.

That's why Edwards got the adultery scandal out in the open- to assess the reaction and whether it would hurt him too much as a running mate.<br /> <br /> Of course they'll pick Christians. And there'll probably be a VEEP debate on which one is more Christinsane. <br /> <br /> And they will probably be both white men. Much as I'd like to see a woman on the ticket, I think we're stretching average Joe America's security blankie already by having a (gasp!) black man headed for the oval office. Wouldn't want to make Mr. and Mrs. Joe America snap by putting a black man AND a woman in there at the same time. (Mr. and Mrs. Joe carry guns, ya know, LOTS of 'em.)

I've always loved him. But he is 70 years old - much too old to be Vice President or President. I tend to believe that Presidential nominees should not only be older than 35, but they should be younger than 65. They need all their brain power on the job. -- Who cares what John McCain picks. It will never be a person who would me a good president. MY choice for Democratic Vice President would be Jerry Brown. I’ve always loved him.
