No one's pitching that idea. Here's the series:

I don't know how that led to the comment to which you responded but you can see it was a hypothetical situation I presented to JP as to how big of an effect Al Gore might have on his voting choice.

Who said McCain would offer him VP in the first place? I laid out this hypothetical in which I clearly stated that I did not think Al Gore would align himself with McCain and you've twice posted as if someone suggested it were plausible. I don't know if you're skimming and not getting the gist of the posts but let me repeat again that no one said it would happen or even that it might happen.

Now if you're just posting any old thing in an attempt to boost your total number of posts that's another thing all together.

It's no big deal. I don't doubt that McCain would try to lure Gore. I about halfway expect it. Remember Gore did select Liberman as his running mate and now Liberman is running all over the country with McCain. I personally can not envision a situation in which McCain and Gore would hook up. My response about hell freezing over was just based on one page worth of posts. I didn't want to go all the way back and read the history, oops.

In response to the initial question, which I acknowledge was not written to me, I would not vote for McCain because he selected Gore. I think it is an interesting question. You know, I can not think of a single scenario that would make me vote for McCain. I don't dislike the man, I just disagree with his every policy position.

I know Lieberman touts himself as an independent. The only reason he is an independent is because he lost the Democratic primary. I guess he's a real loyal guy! McCain talked about switching to the Democratic party cuz he was mad at Bush. I bet Lieberman will be his VP choice.

He seems like an okay man but I don't like his politics. Right now it's hard to tell whether he changed his mind about a lot of things or whether he still thinks the same and is just pandering.

I don't know what got into Huckabee but that wasn't at all funny. At least he apologized and hopefully he won't go that route again.

I have much respect for Chris Matthews for saying that he wouldn't run the clip on his show yesterday. He mentioned the Kennedys and MLK.

In case you haven't seen this Chris Matthews vs. Kevin James in can you answer this question:

    • To me, it helps solidify Ted as a character; Johnson was stiff (except for his excessive swaying) and could not emote one iota in his scenes. It was a recast that was well done. Knowing what Robinson is capable of doing, he's an asset to the cast. If they've just established it as a soap opera that patients have watched prior, I doubt the characters would appear in-universe; that wouldn't make sense at all.
    • Will I be Gio's champion? I am so there LOL  I'm happy to know that so many people agree with me about how good his performance was at the NB.   I don't see GM lasting any longer on GH than Nicholas Alexander Chavez did. Damn, I was struck by Sawandi's "moves."  Rhythm Nation passed him by. At least he got in that head spin when he resorted to break dancing. But P.S. The guy is gorgeous.   -- I understand all the criticism here about the Nurses Ball, and I pretty much agree with all of it. However, I love seeing it, and I miss it when we don't get it.      I love the stuff that's so cheesy and bad that I can't believe I'm watching it, and I love trashing it. It's awesome television to snark at (see: Spinelli in his cowboy boots). Regardless of how slick it is or is supposed to be, it's clear A LOT of work is put into the final product, and I'm grateful when a soap is willing to pull out the stops like this. -- Haven't seen today's show yet, so stay tuned for more performance reviews LOL -- In the meantime, here's a decent look backstage at GH....a video improved greatly by the presence of Giovanni Mazza.

    • And what happens once the secret is out? He still walks around owning them? Nah, that's lame. The recast messes up Ted and Bill presence for me.

      I've always been convinced "Russel Kubeck" is Henry Slesar.   There are 3 different mystery/suspense/crime writers whom I instantly identified as Henry Slesar after reading their works.  Those three are "Sley Harson", "Eli Jerome", and "Russel Kubeck".  Slesar's estate has subsequently verified that "Sley Harson" and "Eli Jerome" were indeed pen names used by Henry Slesar.  No word yet on "Russel Kubeck".   I wish Slesar's kids, his agent, or P&G would ultimately acknowledge whether or not "Kubeck" was one of Slesar's pen names.   Here's what I think happened:  I believe P&G approached Slesar and said, "We're pulling the plug on Somerset in December unless you can get the ratings up to a 6.0 for a 13-week period".  [Or some other target they had in mind.]  Slesar took the job but knew the chances of failure were far greater than the chances of success, so he used a pseudonym for it.   Look at it this way.  A few years later, in 1983, P&G dismissed Henry Slesar from The Edge of Night and went out soliciting a new mystery writer to take his place.  They settled on Lee Sheldon.  If "Russel Kubeck" were a real person (other than a pen name of Slesar's), don't you think P&G would've hired Kubeck instead, since they'd already worked with him on Somerset.   I believe P&G was fully aware that the paychecks written in 1976 to Russel Kubeck had gone directly into Slesar's account, and there was no sense in interviewing Mr. Kubeck to take Slesar's place on EON in 1983.  
    • New Ted ain't it. Loved the reference to Tamara Tunie's time on ATWT. hopefully they can make a Law & Order SVU reference. I wonder if ATWT characters will ever cross over because the homeless lady and Nicole acknowledged Jessica and Duncan as soap characters from "As the World Turns". Then again, Marge was watching a soap with B&B's theme on Y&R and Katherine Chancellor crossed over to Guiding Light despite Reva's clone and Cassie  acknowledging Y&R as a tv show.
    • Damn GIO was excellent. Great cliffhanger 
    • I kind of feel like its still to early to call. Ted should be broken,  confused,  vulnerable at this point if we're to believe he loves his wife and his family at this moment.      Martin certainly hasn't played weak against Bill and neither has Vernon. We haven't really seen him with his son in law so not sure how they'll play that. 
    • Because it gives him power over them. That's why, and plays into the idea Bill Hamilton holds power over them, hence his involvement in the Martin secret.
    • Leslie stealing toiletries and that robe has me screaming. Im gonna really be sad if they ever get rid of her.    
    • I am fine with Bill being an outlier. But why do all the Dupree men have to seem weaker than Bill, though? That's not interesting. Maurice also had a strong presence and would be believable up against Bill.
