Nikki Haley Vice Presidential Speculation: Democrat Launches Parody Website

Democratic consultant Tyler Jones with S.C. Forward Progress had a little fun at the Governor's expense Monday, launching IWantToBeVP.com. The parody website frames the governor's upcoming book release and the media appearances as proof of her efforts to get on the 2012 ticket.

"Haley knows she's not going to be VP," Jones said. "But she loves when the media ask her about it."

The governor's book tour, combined with the giddy media speculation over her possible veep nod, plays into a Democratic narrative of a governor not only out of touch with South Carolinians, but also spending too much time out of the state.

"It means she cares about her national ambitions more than about governing South Carolina," Jones said.

To all the conservatives that pointed to President Obama's 'funny and foreign sounding' name and who made a point of calling him Barack HUSSEIN Obama, may I introduce you to Nimrata Randhawa. You know her as Nikki Haley.

Palin is egotistical in a violent sort of way and Haley is egotistical in her mirror.

A few years ago when I was still in CA, there was a big stink going around because robo calls were made in Spanish to households with Latino-looking names. These robo calls were reminding everyone to be sure to go vote ... on WEDNESDAY.

I don't want her to spread herself too thin. She's already doing a poor job in South Carolina, and to take on the additional responsibility of doing a poor job for the country... well, that's just too much for one underachiever to handle. Maybe she could hire some subcontractors to help be terrible. There's a former half term governor from Alaska who is available, and maybe Sharon Angle could jump into the mix, to give the cabinet the kind of low-brow visceral hate powered voice that it needs for motivation. If Michelle Bachmann is available (she's still paying off her campaign debt), you might be able to have her "consult" on political matters relevant to the 1950's. I wonder if Christine O'Donnell could spare some spiritual assistance?

With all these female headliners in the GOP, it's no wonder that Republicans are declaring war on women.

Oh Nikki, look what you did to SC.

South Carolina kind of did it to themselves. She's still a pretty popular governor which tells me that there are some silly people in South Carolina. My best friend is a reporter in the upstate and he says they love her. Even he loves her and he doesn't agree with anything she says-lol

"I made a promise to the people of this state." And as soon as I royally scroo them over and make a mockery of their state, then I'll be ready to do the same on a national level. But if you really want me now, I'm available.

Hey, Sarah hugged me in SC for a reason.

i don't know. i'd have to see her on a runway first before making up my mind as to her VP credentials

[sfbbmom]

Did you promise them you would take time away from your job to write a book??

[Buttercup690]

02:25 PM on 04/03/2012

I cannot believe she didn't deny the multiple affairs allegations, with her bald hubby mugging for the camera in the front row. The View wanted a spectacle, and they sure got one.

Gawd I hope the democrats pick a female VP, one with some brain matter that works. If not, I'd take Madeline Albright. The "candidates" the Republican party puts forth makes me vomit in my mouth. I will never vote republican again until they stop these anti-women policy and harrassment activities.

Last election we proved that racism is alive and well, this election we're proving chauvinism is too.

[Buttercup690]

02:39 PM on 04/03/2012

The last smart one was Madeline, huh? Smarts ones are truly few and far between.

[TEDDY LJ]

05:35 PM on 04/03/2012

How about E. Warren, she'd make a good one, unbeatable on the VP ticket.

[Israelibabs]

01:52 PM on 04/03/2012

Has she paid her debt back to the taxpayers yet?

[Buttercup690]

02:12 PM on 04/03/2012

Nope, not by a long shot

[TEDDY LJ]

05:36 PM on 04/03/2012

Those people in SC could care less, they love her pretty face, they will vote her in for a second term..betcha

A view from across the pond : Nikki well goodness gracious me, if you were nit such a figure of fun like Sarah and Michelle, you could get a book title out of this Mitt and the three sisters.

[Buttercup690]

02:13 PM on 04/03/2012

Whew, you funny. Mitt has been way more intimate with Nikki than just sister.

Maybe Bishop Willard Romney can do a live babtism*l and forget to take her he*d out of the w*ter.-----------------It would be the best thing he could do for SC.
