Newt Gingrich outlined a scenario yesterday with Bob Barr getting 15% of the national vote, and the current Zogby poll showing a majority of likely voters want Barr to be included in the Presidential debates. The former Speaker is perhaps overly optimistic about how well Barr will perform...In terms of the debates, McCain and Obama have agreed to three of them (one in September, the other two in October). Unless Barr is tracking at 15% nationally, he will not be invited...Senator Lieberman will not be McCain's running mate. Lieberman is slotted to speak on Monday or Tuesday of the RNC which rules him out as McCain's VP....There is, however, a role for Lieberman in a McCain administration as Secretary of State or Defense...Secretary of State Rice states that the US and Iraqi government are close to an agreement regarding the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Accordingly, all US troops will be outo f Baghdad by June 2010 and all combat troops out of Iraq entirely by 2011. This bodes well for McCain that the surge did indeed work...Obama's VP choice is down to Tim Kaine of Virginia or Joe Biden of Delaware. While Kaine is an executive he is quite inexperienced. Biden, on the other hand, has a wealth of experience but no executive experience. This begs the question: is either man qualified to be President?
There are 75 days until the presidential election. And, it's been 2,736 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
