Quote of the Day

Larry Kudlow says his sources say the McCain VP shortlist is now Gov. Pawlenty and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (way to call it, br!). I am pretty sick of McCain house jokes from Democrats, but I laughed at this:

Sources also tell me that Karl Rove and other Bush White House operatives continue to push hard for Romney. But one wag told me there’s a housing problem: Governor Romney has five; Sen. McCain and his wife have seven. That’s a lot of houses for one ticket. But putting sarcasm aside, Governor Romney is a fine person. He would make a very strong vice president.

Thanks for the hat tip, jk. The Refugee thinks that she is the perfect choice more than ever . The Dem convention has demonstrated that a lot of moderate, professional women are not sold on the Obama ticket. McCain could perhaps pull a significant number over to his side with KBH.

Speaking of vice presidents, it was fun to watch Biden last night and compare/contrast with Hillary. While The Refugee is no Clinton supporter, he will confess that she hit out of the park on Tuesday night. When you compare Biden to Billy C or even Hillary, he is obviously second-string material. The Refugee thought that he came off like an angry white male. This has got to cause many Dems, especially women, to have buyer's remorse. Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" could not have scripted it any better.

That said, Biden will be the attack dog of the ticket. Republicans must resist attacking the easy-to-attack Biden and focus on Obama.
