"Veepstakes"

[33girl]

Joe Lieberman was freaking me out on Fox News yesterday because he looked like John Adams or one of the Founding Fathers. You really shouldn't look like you're wearing a powdered wig when you're not.

Oh, and that article is wrong - I don't think Tom Ridge can carry PA. The only reason he ran for Gov was to try to get into national affairs, he never gave a crap about this state.

Nittanyalum, I agree that the commentary is a riot. I think my favorite was the "me personally" under people who Huckabee alienates.

A lot of people on that list are Do Not Want for me. And I'm likely to vote Republican. Is there anyone who doesn't fall under the description for people for Jeb Bush alienates?

(Not that there's too much wrong with Jeb really by Republican standards, except for that.)

I agree with you there, I was never a Ridge fan.

That and the "one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest stands a better chance" for Haley Barbour.

Also hilarious, thanks for the link. Although I physically cringed when I read he thinks Biden is the "odds-on favorite." Oh dear god, please, no.

I am loving the commentary on those. It's almost Onion-level good.

They forgot to note that Huckabee (and his fatty-size family) potentially alienates health nuts.

Well, except that he personally IS kind of a health nut, right?

The whole Arkansas weight loss thing? From Wikipedia, "On April 11, 2003 Huckabee signed a law which mandates annual body mass index (BMI) measurements for all public school children. The results are reported to parents with information about how to combat obesity. The law also sets up advisory committees to promote exercise and good nutrition for schools.[92][93][94][95]"

I remembered there being some statewide anti-obesity campaign, pretty much like every state in the south has had at one time or another, too, but I can't find a particularly good link or quote.

As a Floridian, I am sad for the two men in that article that represent my state. One has shown that he is throughly incompetent and not kept most of his campaign promises, and seems eager to screw the State of Florida and move on the national politics.

The other was an amazing Governor, who actually followed through with his promises even when they weren't popular, and made the people of Florida realize that "Bush" could mean someone different than the idiot in the White House! I am sadden to think that W's ridiculous presidency will ruin Jeb's chances!
