Title: Grade the following running mates for the two candidates Post by: YRABNNRM on June 21, 2008, 05:36:49 PM I just picked 40 names at random; 20 for McCain, 20 for Obama. Some are plausible, some are not but I just picked whatever popped up in my head at the time, without thinking about whether or not they were realistic or if they made sense. Here we go:
McCain: Mark Sanford Mike Huckabee Tim Pawlenty Carly Fiornia Tom Ridge John Sununu Mitt Romney Joe Lieberman Tommy Franks Jeb Bush Judd Gregg John Ensign Newt Gingrich Bobby Jindal Colin Powell Fred Thompson Kay Bailey Hutchinson James Jones John Thune Mike Rounds Obama: Joe Biden Hillary Clinton Bill Richardson Ray Mabus Kathleen Sebelius Colin Powell Chris Dodd Joe Manchin Sam Nunn Tom Daschle Evan Bayh Tim Kaine Chuck Robb John Kerry Ken Salazar Chuck Hagel Bill Nelson Lee Hamilton Jack Reed John Breaux Title: Re: Grade the following running mates for the two candidates Post by: Iosif on June 21, 2008, 05:54:38 PM McCain:
