The Scenario

If McCain picks Ron Paul for V.P...

1. Would that shock you?

2. Would those who would have voted for Ron Paul as president, that are now going to vote for Obama, then vote for McCain/Ron Paul? Or are minds made up at this point?

McCain doesnt stand a chance if he picks whoever the news media says would make a great pick for him.

McCain/Paul ticket is a great idea...for Fantasy Island. Seriously, that would never happen. Never ever ever!

I'd lose all respect for Paul if that were to happen. All of it.

Hi Mabus

1. Would that shock you?
YES....well maybe not ..I do not put it past the Republicans to do something like that just to get the votes ....(and I am a Republican myself) ..

2. Would those who would have voted for Ron Paul as president, that are now going to vote for Obama, then vote for McCain/Ron Paul? Or are minds made up at this point?
NO

Although I do not vote anymore ..But I would vote this year if Ron Paul had any chance at all of being president but no way on McCain even if RP was his VP ....


My 2 cents anyway

"McCain doesnt stand a chance if he picks whoever the news media says would make a great pick for him."

That's your opinion. Right now, and just by himself, he's making very good ground against Obama/Biden. I suspect the main factor driving it is people are starting to understand Obama's policies and are realizing that he stands for an America that leans heavily towards socialism. They may also be realizing that his views are Marxist.

To answer your question about Ron Paul - I think it would shock the hell out of the entire nation if McCain picked Ron Paul, and would be even more shocking if Ron Paul agreed to be HIS vice president. They are so different on the issues - the democrats would have a field day pointing out the differences.

If that were to happen, however, there's no question the Dems would be [SNIP] bricks about those independent voters who had planned on writing in a candidate or not voting. I think there are enough of them to make a significant difference.

Um, not being rude but have you ever listened to EITHER of them speak?!?
It may work for a sitcom like Felix & Oscar but not in this race.

Paul would say "NO" before McCain could even ask.

I have an even better duo ...Obama and Ron Paul ....Would yall vote for them ?

Seriously wouldnt that be interesting ...would also be interesting on if the public would or not ..
