SNOOZESome guy wrote in to let us know that ObamaBayh08.com redirects to BARACK OBAMA’S VERY OWN WEB SITE so obviously Evan Bayh, the senator from Indiana, has gotten the nod. We thought that Barack Obama, a rumored smart guy or whatever, probably planned ahead and bought up all the domains of Obama(Potential Vice Presidential Stooge The Press Is Speculating About This Week)08.com, but we thought wrong. ObamaClinton08.com turns up nothing, ditto ObamaEdwards08.com, ObamaWebb08.com actually belongs to somebody, and ObamaNapolitano08.com took too long to type, so we gave up. Meet your new vice president, America! He is the most boring man alive.

If this happens it’s no different then Kerry choosing Edwards in 04. We all know indiana is going to the Republicans. The only true choice for Obama and America is Ron Paul and his Revolution! Obama-Paul08 bitches!

Right, so my real choice is actually General Wesley Clark. Come on the guy has a resume the length of Obama’s coal sausuage.

PoliticalGraffiti June 25, 2008 at 4:54 pm

Bayhe (pronounced “bye”) had supported Hillary Clinton, so even more than the Indiana vote, he’s got the crazy white female vote

It’s more likely he’d pick a female VP. So try ObamaJohansson08.com for sure.

This would be fantastic if he did. Bayh is just about the perfect pick for Veep.

Centrist white guy, and the Bayh name is legendary in Indiana – he will push McCain to spend money in a BIG state that should have been safe for him.

As far as I can tell, the only qualification for VP in the Dem Party is good looking hair. Evan, though, looks like a poor man’s version of John Edwards.

Change! it’s not.

Dave J. June 25, 2008 at 5:12 pm

I think Kathleeen Sebelius is his likely pick, but obamasebelius08.com is just parked at GoDaddy.

AxmxZ June 25, 2008 at 5:13 pm

Geez, is this guy old enough to buy booze? He and Barry together are barely as old as McCain is on his lonesome.

You call him ‘Bayh’

You know, out in the bitter midwest, senator-people, or even sometimes governor-people are kinda fun in person at, let’s say, a mixer at somebody’s house.

Evan Bayh, not so much….

Turd Way June 25, 2008 at 5:28 pm

Oh, look, a white Democrat who works as hard at being as non-threatening to wealthy white people as Obama does. Only without his charisma, so he’s non-threatening to Obama as well. Bayh will follow in the footsteps of other lobotomized VPs like Gore and fellow hoosier Quale.

[re=24694]jagorev[/re]: Unless he picks up Jindal. (Then laughs and throws him back.)

Canuckledragger June 25, 2008 at 6:32 pm

Not gonna happen. Obama’s not gonna pick this “Bay” guy, because if you read the proposed slogan – ObamaBayh08 – “Bay” admits to being a “ho.” And not even a good ho, because he’s only ho #8. If Hopey wants a ho, he ain’t gonna/gotta “settle” for anyone but the elitist #1 ho.

But I don’t think Hopey’s gonna swing toward a ho in any case. He remembers too well what happened to Elvis Schvitzer.

Kingbee June 25, 2008 at 6:54 pm

Robert Mugabe for VP! He’ll make Barack look whiter, and he knows how to “persuade” the electorate (previously, the realm of the GOP, here in the U.S.).

Then it’s a perfect fit. They will need a way to cleanse the palate before a big dose of Barry at the campaign rallies.

Rodney Badger June 25, 2008 at 8:35 pm

Hi everybody. Indian’s Governor is Republican. So Evan Bayh, sadly, cannot be chosen by the Chosen. Which is sad because it would have been the hottest ticket ever and would drive myriad sex-starved Adjective Moms to the polls with fantasies of pols poles. If you read me.

[re=24644]gjdodger[/re]:

This is actually a reverse of an old joke about Indiana senators: Bayh and bought — it’s a leftover from Birch Bayh, who was anomalously honest, decent and bright; a mistake Indiana has not made again, though there are rumors Lugar has brains and a conscience. And Lugar is, in fact, likelier than Bayh as the veep. But why should it be either? Reasons for Bayh:

–as a successful governor, he has administrative experience and credibility, just in case Obama wants to have a veep who does stuff.
–as the most wooden public speaker in recent-day national politics (he makes Al Gore look like Pee Wee Herman) he won’t show up the head of the ticket, and he scores with those people who think inept speaking equals sincerity.

Problem is, Richardson has those pluses and also has a cool beard.

DoctorCulturae June 25, 2008 at 9:55 pm

Hopey has simply got to go with someone with military experience: Hilbot and the Army of Bitters.

American Dreamer June 25, 2008 at 10:10 pm

Bayh does have a profile on millionarematchmakers.com. Such a sexy beast.

SayItWithWookies June 25, 2008 at 10:19 pm

[re=24811]Rodney Badger[/re]: Aren’t the Dems calculating on picking up a few Senate seats too? They can afford to take a risk when the odds are in their favor. Though if your weakness is that you’re inexperienced, I don’t know how Bayh really helps with that. Richardson or Sebelius would be good. Too bad Lara Logan’s not a citizen — that would be awesome.

Sara K. Smith June 25, 2008 at 10:33 pm

[re=24840]artbot2000[/re]: If you want to scare the shit out of yourself, watch “The War Room.” There’s this bit toward the end where Gore is giving a speech and it’s actually INTERESTING.

Well, that never would’ve happened, except you know how rare a Tuesday night takedown is. But let’s face it — we come from different worlds. I’m a socialist atheist vegetarian living in the deep south, and you’re a willowy tranny pundit with a passion for rubbing sandpaper on her clit and acting out Dennis Kucinich rape fantasies (for those wondering about giving or getting — both.) I love you Ann, but it’s never going to be more than one crazy night, one cannibal luau, one marathon session of tissue-violating, ‘shroom-fueled unprotected old-fashioned Texas hatefucking and and two mildly beat-up Cuban cigars. Sorry.

[re=24891]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Oh — that was Re: American Dreamer (in case there was some confusion about that).
And it wasn’t *and and* — just one and.
And it was Texas-style hatefucking, not “Texas hatefucking.” The bathroom of the Applebee’s in Akron, Ohio isn’t anywhere near Texas.
And as far as “‘shroom-fueled” goes, I think there was some ayahuasca in there too, but my recollection is a bit fuzzy.
Okay, that concludes the errata for the previous message. We now return you to your previously scheduled program, already in progress.

How about we get Birch Bayh, Evan’s dad. Yeah I know Birch is 10 years older than McSame, but he’s full of piss and vinegar as they say. And he’s probably close to Feingold progrssive.
