[quote=70Chip;450114]Webb might me able to swing Virginia in an election that Obama would win anyway, but I doubt it. Edwards had no effect on North Carolina and Obama would be much better advised to batten down his hatches in Pennsylvania and Michigan. I keep hearing how BHO can win in Virginia, but as a lontime resident of the Commonwealth, I think it's more dicey than people like Tim Russert or Chris Matthews seem to understand. He needs to first secure the states that Gore and Kerry won and then go after a swing state like Ohio. Besides, Webb would not be able to hide his wife anymore if he were Veep candidate. He hid her so well in his Senatorial campaign that I had to do internet research to figure out who she was 2 years ago. She's Asian and she's quite a bit younger than he is, which is fine with me, but he was hiding the fact from Virginians for some reason. Some pollster said something to him. He love her not very long time. I'm just saying.[/quote]

Interesting point you bring up about Webb's wife. She probably helped him, being Vietnamese, win the Asian vote in Virginia. But you have to wonder whether or not she becomes a liabilty on a national ticket. I'm thinking purely from a race perspective.

I mean the way the GOP has already begun to go after Michelle Obama, I wonder what craziness they could manufacture on Webb's wife.

I don't think people can digest too much change in one election.

I don't know what help she could have been since no one saw her until he had already won. You know how politicians parade their families in front of the cameras every chance they get, I grew suspicious. Is he single? Is he an homosexual, I wondered? Then after all the votes were counted they appeared together, and my Korean American brother in law gave me a knowing look and said, "She love him long time". That's all I'm saying.

Wasn't she "hiding" because she was pregnant for much of the campaign?

Why would you hide that? What screams "family values" louder than a wife with a baby bump? No, he was poll reading. He fancies himself an expert on the inhabitants of this region and he determined that the good people of Virginia would reaxt negatively to an Asian wife. I would have put her out front, but he endeavored to keep her a secret. Whatever.

So if you don't parade your wife like every politician you're hiding her? What if she didn't want to be part of his campaigning? Are we picking the wife or the guy running for office?

Re: Who Should Be VP?
 

Ok, I thought I recalled her being part of the campaign just not a very active part of it because she was pregnant (and I think there may have been a death in her family as well).

Well this "Connecticut Yankee" was born, raised, and spent 30 years in the DC metro area. And I don't know if I know more (I mean I could be mistaken about the whole thing), but before I came up here I did spend half a decade working in local news covering stories like regional campaigns so I am somewhat aware and try to keep aware of local happenings.

"Connecticut Yankee"...you sure do like labeling people don't you?

Long live the genuine George "Macaca" Allen. May he someday make a return and save the commonwealth from liberal treachery and phoniness.

That's the game. Have you heard about the fact that BHO re-converted to Islam and joined Hamas? And yes George Allen will rise again. He's not ashamed of his wife.

Thanks for the link, good article. I tend to think the Republican party would make a mistake in trying to select the "Republican Obama" But they could certainly do worse.

Anything that refers to Tim Kaine as "highly talented" has no credibility to me. Mark Warner was highly talented. Kaine is a dope riding Warner's past good governance.

I can see it now. Every 6th or 7th guy walks into the voting booth, takes a look at his choices, see Shuler's name and punches the screen. We'd run out of unbroken boothes real quick.

I think John Edwards would fit in nice as VP for the democratic party.

There's a few ways to sign up though I suspect you wouldn't find them too pleasing given your age and strong leanings...me think it's way too late for you to sign up, plus the bus is full :nono:
