Hi everybody. Here's my Top Five list of potential GOP tickets. I am putting McCain at the top for now. Let me know what you think and if you have some others:
1. McCain/Bloomberg-Totally hot right now, and Bloomberg appeals to the middle and New York and in a down economy he's perfect for the job
It’s all about balance... balancing out a presidential ticket, that is, with a VEEP candidate who offsets some of the top candidate’s perceived political weaknesses.
In 2004, for instance, Northerner John Kerry chose Southerner John Edwards (so what if both were white liberal lawyers?). In the 1992 race, the grandfatherly George H. Bush picked the boyishly good-looking Dan Quayle in large part due to his purported "hotness appeal" with female voters -- Murphy Brown being the most notable exception.

Everyone I've heard talk about a “previous life” claims to have been a princess, a pharaoh, an Olympian athlete, or some other A-list player. I've never heard anyone say she was a slave or he was a convicted embezzler.

His laugh was an eruption of approval: a bear-like guffaw, at once surprising and light, a ringing endorsement of his boss, Johnny Carson. Johnny, of course, was the star of "The Tonight Show" and the undisputed king of late night. But even he could use this kind of affirmation. The laugh legitimized Johnny further, made what was happening in that studio more significant, celebrated Johnny's greatness. The laugh was pure support: it asked for nothing, only gave.

Does anyone not love a game of 20 Questions? You start with the entire roster of humans who’ve ever lived (I’m sure Google’s working on it), and you winnow your way, with exacting binary efficiency, toward just one person.
Is he male? Yes.
