My potential running mates
May 26, 2008 at 6:13 pm by Ken Edelstein in NewsEnough already! Senators McCain and Obama are playing coy this Memorial Day weekend about their vice presidential selection process.
I’m not going to play that game; I’m going to level with the American people: Yes, I’ve been entertaining political leaders this weekend with the express purpose of vetting them as possible running mates.
We’re checking into geographical, ethnic and regional balance, as well as chemistry, and so far I have two frontrunners. One is an aggressive, white male with a strong instinct to go on the attack, no matter what the situation. The other would be a more revolutionary choice: She comes from a mixed background and likes to chew on leather. Both are southerners with natural charisma.
Please let me know if you’d like to be considered as well.
Below is a photograph of the two. The one on the left is Coconut. The one on the right is Peanut. Please let me know your preference or if you have a pet who’d like to be considered as well.

“Vice President Peanut” sounds good. Hopefully VP Peanut will be more successful than President Peanut.
You never ask a cat to do a dog’s job amd VP is most certainly a dogs job.

I don’t know, Dale. I think Ken may have a tough time separating these two!

They are true running mates. They are running around the house right now!
