cryptique Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 That's a good way to get Obama assassinated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 if kerry could have gotten mccain to be his vp, he'd be president now without a doubt. this sort of ticket would only work if both candidates were not very partisan at all. we've had a few mixed ticket presidencies early on in the republic -- it didn't work out so well.

bjorn_skurj Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I don't think Obama will be ready for the O.O. about 2018 or so. By that time, all the racialists will be so upset at the burgeoning Latino population, a black president will actually look good to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Not going to happen, unless John McCain invites a Democrat onto his ticket. LouieBThat's a likely scenario,actually.I must say I wasn't too impressed with Steele OR Cardin in their debates...very negative & almost childish in the way they would interrupt each other.

MrRain422 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I never understood the excitement that some people had for a prospective Kerry/McCain ticket in 2004. Democrats liked McCain because he seemed open minded and willing to go against his party. But they didn't really pay attention to the fact that he is a bona fide conservative. If Kerry/McCain had gotten elected, and for whatever reasong McCain ended up as president, he would persue conservative policies and the Democrats who elected him vice-President would feel betrayed, even though he'd just be enacting the same policies he'd been in favor of for his whole career. Same thing would happen with any other mixed ticket. It sounds nice on it's face, but all that would happen is that all sides would end up unhappy with the results.

WilcoFan Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 It's also possible that Steele may become the next Melman or have a job in the White House. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Supposedly he's already been offered Melman's job. If you believe the rumors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn's dad Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 people seem to cling to the idea that a firmer embrace of the middle ground will provide an answer to our myriad problems.the truth is truly left or right candidates are unelectable as these elections are decided by the undecided middle....dependent upon undecided voters in one or two states. the two party ticket seems to embrace the falacy that core members of the opposite party will vote for a ticket with a member of the opposite party on it, thus ensuring victory.

cryptique Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I don't like the idea of a mixed-party ticket because in this bitter and polarized political climate, it's sure to result in the party of the vice president doing everything it can to force out the president. I'm sure plenty of people would say "no, it would be fine," but trust me, it wouldn't. That's also why my first comment in this thread had to do with assassination.

LouieB Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 McCain/Lieberman Not really. Someone answer my question already.Which question? Actually of all the scenarios, this one is the most possible, but still highly improbable. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
