Ronald Reagan.... bring back some past Republican glory, using re-animation.
Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?
Is having a former two-term president serve as vice president constitutional, strictly speaking? I mean, if something happened to McCain, Zombie-Reagan wouldn't be able to serve more than two years of the remaining term.
Which is why I suggest Zombie-Spiro Agnew.

That was the 1940s. Re-animation science has improved much in 60+ years, so there!

This rule only applies to LIVING candidates. It does not apply to the un-dead brought back to life through re-animation techniques. You should know this fact allready!!

Bah... Zombie-Spiro Agnew would not have the same level of idolatry as Zombie-Reagan (beloved by millions). Can you see a mass of American's idolizing a slimy, despised Agnew the same way they did a grandfatherly, charismatic Reagan? I think not.

You may be on to something... why not Zombie-Gerald Ford then? He ran only 1/2 of a term. Poor guy.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?
I'm sorry and perhaps I'm being an insensitive prick (wouldn't be the first time I was accused of that), but the whole POW thing is neat and all, but that seems to be his only qualification. It's the golden oldie trotted out after any attack on McCain. Sure, he went to Annapolis, and graduated near the bottom of his class.
As for running mates, he's gotta pick someone younger (not terribly difficult). Obama did the opposite and it was probably good that he picked an older experienced white male to help pacify 'murciuns who are still not sure about that colored fella runnin' fer President.
It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world.

Michael Moriarty seems the obvious choice. He certainly has the necessary experience.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?
I think McCain really needs a souless, authoritarian oriented, oilman. T. Boone Pickens would have been an ok choice, but I don't think he want's to be limited, theres so much more money to be had yet.

Maybe Larry Hagman? As with Michael Moriarty, relevant experience is the important factor.

The dude has over two decades in both the house and senate. Thats a tad bit more experience than "just a POW"

The dude was still referring to Czechoslovakia as recently as two months ago, confuses Shiites and Sunnis, and hasn't been to many Congressional hearings in the past few years.
And also completely blew his call on what Prime Minister Maliki would do...a month ago McCain "knew" there was no way Maliki would call for unconditional withdrawal of American troops in the next few years. And yet that's just what has happened.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?
W "knew" there were WMDs in Iraq because the weapons inspectors had just spent 10 years proving there weren't. He invaded Iraq on that basis and still managed to get re-elected in 2004. McCain's senior moments seem like an ass full of sunshine by comparison.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?
My parents are convinced its going to be Lieberman, because then the powers that be can remove McCain and the zionist Lieberman can commence his plans for world domination.
Or something like that anyway, I try not to listen when they start talking about it.

Really? Why? It sounds a lot more entertaining than 106% of what's on television.

My parents (moreso my mom) have become convinced that a shadowy cabal made up of zionists/neocons runs the US, Isreal and much of the rest of the world, being responsible for pretty much every bad thing that has happened since (and including) 9/11.

Ask them why we have not killed everyone in Palestine and set up a huge Israeli state yet.
