John McCain is in Orange County, California tonight at a fundraising event. And, will have a few more tomorrow before heading to his Sedona, Arizona home to talk with Crist, Jindal and Romney.
Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, on Friday is scheduled to meet with two Republican governors who have been prominently mentioned as potential running mates, according to Republicans familiar with McCain’s plan.
The two governors, Charlie Crist, of Florida, and Bobby Jindal, of Louisiana, have both accepted invitations to meet with McCain at his home in Arizona, according to Republican familiars with the decision. One Republican said that Mitt Romney, a former rival of McCain for the presidential nomination wasalso expected to visit him this weekend. Romney’s advisers declined to comment.
McCain, after a week of campaigning, is heading home on Friday for three days without a public schedule. His campaign declined to comment on the meetings.
“We don’t talk about the V.P. selection process,” said Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser.
Still, the names of McCain’s visitors and the timing — coming three weeks after the Arizona senator told reporters that he had a list of 20 potential running mates — strongly suggested that he was moving into an intensified phase in his search for a vice presidential candidate.
Let’s see:
Charlie Crist, the unmarried Governor of Florida is “rumored” to be gay.
Bobby Jindal was just elected to be Governor of Louisiana and is young and inexperienced.
Mitt Romney is the former one term Massachusetts Governor with high negatives because he is a flip-flopping opportunist.
McCain is not starting out well in the Vice President selection process. Should he choose any of the above it would be a drag on the ticket.
Should Romney be the Vice President selection, Flap would have to reconsider whether he would vote for McCain for President.
Update:
Team McCain says it is a social get together. But, look who else will be there?
Among other guests expected were Sens. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., close confidantes of McCain.
Right.
And, why is the campaign unhappy the story got out?
Hillary speaks about FL and MI voters and delegates in Boca Raton, Florida
Hillary Clinton may take the Michigan and Florida Democrat delegate fight all the way to the August Denver Democrat Party convention in Denver.
Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far. In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they continue the fight.
The presidential candidate said Wednesday, “Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this.”
Today, Hillary is talking about disqualified delegates in Florida and Michigan. Tomorrow her surrogates, including husband former President Bill Clinton, will resume the anti-Obama sexism mantra.
There is NO incentive for Hillary to get out of the race before June 3rd and she won’t.
She will continue to bash Obama and hope lightening strikes (the Clinton Cabal is working on it).
Rogers sends over word that the points system will be larger than mere competing to see who can post the most pro-McCain comments.
“[It] will help our supporters track and compete against one another for reaching out and making phone calls, sending letters to the editor, signing up friends and other campaign activities,” he says.
Wow, Flap thought it was the earnest fervor of supporters of McCain and the GOP that would drive the campaign.
Wonder who the brain donor was who dreamed up this scheme?
Summaries of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s revised state budget proposal for the 2008-09 fiscal year lay on a table in Sacramento, California, May 14, 2008. Schwarzenegger unveiled on Wednesday a revised $144.35 billion budget plan for the state’s next fiscal year that proposes using state lottery revenues to back bonds whose proceeds would help close a $17.2 billion shortfall and build a rainy-day reserve.
Arnold is desperate to balance a budget he has mismanaged.
Will gay marriage help boost California’s economy? Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger hopes so.
In the wake of the state Supreme Court’s legalization of gay marriage, the Republican governor said Tuesday in San Francisco he hopes gay couples come to California for wedded bliss.
“You know, I’m wishing everyone good luck with their marriages and I hope that California’s economy is booming because everyone is going to come here and get married,” said Schwarzenegger, prompting laughs and applause, according to a recording.
But, is he REALLY serious?
Probably not. But making light of a major societal change and his budgetary problems may leave the Governator as the only one laughing in California.
It was claimed last week that the fruit drinks could be twice as healthy as first thought.
But dentists warn that the beneficial effects of boosting consumption of fruit are likely to be far outweighed by damage the drinks cause to teeth.
They warn that the high levels of sugar in the drinks can promote decay without good dental hygiene.
Flap has been amazed at the lack of educational awareness of deleterious effects of sugar and citric acid on the teeth of children AND adults. Yet, folks continue to distribute these tooth rotting drinks and warrant them as healthy.
Amazing.
Be true to your teeth (watch the sugar, practice good dental hygiene, see the dentist) or they will be FALSE to you.
In today’s Wall Street Journal, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticutt excoriates Senator and presumptive Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama and the Democrat Party over their evolution of foreign policy.
Today, less than a decade later, the parties have completely switched positions. The reversal began, like so much else in our time, on September 11, 2001. The attack on America by Islamist terrorists shook President Bush from the foreign policy course he was on. He saw September 11 for what it was: a direct ideological and military attack on us and our way of life. If the Democratic Party had stayed where it was in 2000, America could have confronted the terrorists with unity and strength in the years after 9/11.
Instead a debate soon began within the Democratic Party about how to respond to Mr. Bush. I felt strongly that Democrats should embrace the basic framework the president had advanced for the war on terror as our own, because it was our own. But that was not the choice most Democratic leaders made. When total victory did not come quickly in Iraq, the old voices of partisanship and peace at any price saw an opportunity to reassert themselves. By considering centrism to be collaboration with the enemy – not bin Laden, but Mr. Bush – activists have successfully pulled the Democratic Party further to the left than it has been at any point in the last 20 years.
Far too many Democratic leaders have kowtowed to these opinions rather than challenging them. That unfortunately includes Barack Obama, who, contrary to his rhetorical invocations of bipartisan change, has not been willing to stand up to his party’s left wing on a single significant national security or international economic issue in this campaign.
In this, Sen. Obama stands in stark contrast to John McCain, who has shown the political courage throughout his career to do what he thinks is right – regardless of its popularity in his party or outside it.
John also understands something else that too many Democrats seem to have become confused about lately – the difference between America’s friends and America’s enemies.
In response, the Left trots out RINO and lame duck GOP Senator Chuck Hagel to make quips about McCain.
Weak sauce indeed compared to Lieberman’s hard hitting piece.
