and thats why the Communist Party endorses everything he's done right?![]()
Sometimes suprises happen. In this ATL scenerio Huckabee knew about her from various speaking engagements and thought she would balance out some of Huck's economicly liberal tendancies. I'm suprised that you didn't have anything to say regarding the Progressive ticket of Obama/Rockafelleri think it's funny how many people put Palin on the list for the 2008 campaign. Very few people knew who she was outside of Alaska before McCain picked her. without McCain picking her for the VP selection she still wouldn't be known and any selection for smaller party wouldn't do much for them.

Then who would make a better running mate for Huckabee on a "Christian Conservative" ticket? If not Palin maybe Rick Santorum?my comment was in general, yours wasn't the only one with Palin on it. Obama was already a National figure in '08 as was Rockafeller so it's not overly far fetched.

nah, not Santorum...Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, or Sam Brownback
or a other combos would be
McCain/Thompson, Tancredo/Huckabee or Romeny/Brownback
Thompson and McCain have been good friends and Thompson would have offset McCain's liberal side.
Brownback is far more well known than Palin and could be a big boost for Romney and could "offset" his liberal/Mormonism
Brownback as Huck's running mate might be good. My dad really likes Thompson. Mom liked Hillary. At the time I leaned Huckabee but a friend introduced me to Dr. Ron Paul. Had Mccain picked Romney I would've either voted for my aformentioned Huckabee ticket or Paul/Hostettler. I have never liked Romney and will seek his defeat in the 2012 primary if he runs. I'm open to Brownback and Tancredo. If Daniels runs for president I might be between between Daniels and Paul/or a Ron Paul backed canidate. No Rinos and less neocons for me.
Yes, that's a good point... I'll post a Before-1900 thread for the same topic.![]()
Since I haven't got my thread. I will do my own
1796:
John Adams - Federalist Party
Charles C. Pinckney - High Federalist Party
Thomas Jefferson - Republican Party
Samuel Adams - Liberty Party
Aaron Burr - Freedom Party
Oliver Ellsworth - Constitution Party
All those people ran in 1796 and I made up the party names but they all ran and they all got more than 10 EC votes so entirely plausible. In the ATL this one goes the house and returns President Jefferson and Vice President Adams; Adams declines the position and chooses to retire. Therefore Jefferson-Burr in 1796. Thomas Jefferson would later appoint his old friend to the Supreme Court to replace the retiring John Rutledge.
