My Picks for V.P.

Can I just say I will be so glad when all of this election stuff is over. Don't get me wrong; I understand the importance of the campaign season and won't ever forget that having the right to vote is a blessing. It's just that I get so tired of the bickering, the speculation, the criticism. Enough already; let's just all roll up our sleeves and get to work.

The latest news is all about V.P. picks. Who will it be? Everyone has their own opinion and their own strategy. Well, this got me thinking about my own strategy. So here are my picks for V.P. if I were running for president. They are, in no particular order:

Jeni

My friend and kindred spirit. This girl is smart and clever. She's got an impeccable eye for fashion and style; first-class in everything she does. She's creative and unbelievably talented. If I ever needed a business partner, she would be THE person I HAD to have. One of her most enduring qualities is that she is angelically good and celebrates the goodness in life every day.

Bret

My Uncle Bret is an excellent choice simply because he's the guy that can make a friend with anyone.

I can just imagine him walking into a room at the United Nations, and walking up to Ahmadinejed (President of Iran), shaking his hand and saying, "Hey, you wanna check out the lint in my belly button?" Seriously! He would do this and everyone would love the U.S. and want to be our friend because of his jolly outlook on life.

If there was anyone who could get the leaders of Russia and Georgia or Syria and Israel on a cruise ship together, he would be the one to do it. One of his first items of business would be to do something like organize a Harley bike ride for all of the heads of state, and everyone in the U.S. would probably get a fiberglass flagpole for their front yard.

Miss America

Who wouldn't want someone who is beautiful, talented and intelligent to be their second in command?

I've always been a huge fan of of Miss America, so it's only natural to have her be one of my VP picks. And don't worry, I'd be sure to screen her closely...only the intelligent ones would be considered; and not a disaster like the girl from South Carolina. Who can forget her famous, convoluted answer:

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children."


Michael Scott

Just look at this guy; how could he not be a serious contender for VP? He's fiercely loyal and at the end of the day he will always do his best and leave everyone satisfied.....at least that's what she said.


And the last pick on my list....

Dr. Tom

Is this allowed? At first I wasn't sure but then I got thinking about the fact that Hillary pretty much ran the White House when she lived there, so why not let my hubby do his part?

He's smart, he can golf, he's hot, he can do laundry, he can wash the dishes, he knows military strategy AND he's Canadian. (but not for long! :) A BORE/BORE ticket might really rock.

So, there you have it; my short list of top picks for my vice presidential running mate. I spent maybe 15 minutes thinking about it. It's really just this simple. No polling, no media commentary, no extensive interviews.

Just wise thinking.

Now, if only the "real" guys could make the selection process that easy.
