Sen McCain is currently holding what I consider a very disingenuous VP vetting process. Its just for the cameras and show the complete racism and pandering the right will gladly undertake, if it helps.The 3 candidates for VP are Mitt (nee Willard Romney), Gov. Charlie Crist and Gov. Bobby Jindal. Of course Willard is going to be the candiadate, as McCain needs to sell his soul to the radical right. Charlie Crist who bills himself as "The People's Governor," as if this was some dust bowl flashback, scares the bejesus out of me, but McCain cant win without Florida. So that's the politics and the pandering.
As for the racism, enter Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal of Louisiana. I mean come on. Willard is so white as to be nearly translucent and McCain hates him. But Reagan didnt like GHW Bush, having called him the kind of guy who would get out of the shower to pee.
Crist, while only 52, has snow white hair and the scariest fake tan I have ever seen east of the Olly Girls. Without seeming too cruel, visually it just doesnt work. They look like the Grumpy Old Men ticket and the tan vs the skin cancer guy, would never work in a million years.
Does he have a chance? Not even. Dan Quayle is an elder statesman comparatively. Sen Obama's VP is sure to be a heavy-hitter who will mop the floor with Gov Jindal. But since Condi cant run without making the election about Iraq, Gen Powell wont run that leaves only Alan Keyes - and he's just too crazy.
Footnote: watch Crist's tan. If he starts to dial down the bronzer, that might be a clue. But its still going to be Romney. Thats who the radical right wanted in the first place and he is the embodiment of their unholy money and religion alliance. If only the religious people would wake up and see how they have been used.
