       February 23, 2008

    NY Times smear pieces aside, John McCain has pretty much sewn up the GOP nomination. Now talk's turning to who Maverick should choose as a running mate. Wikipedia lists about 25 candidates. It seems like there's a few ways for McCain to go. He could pick a social conservative to shore up part of the dissatisfied base, pick a woman or minority to try to counter the Dem nominee or choose a rising star to help court the youth vote. Barring the emergence of a young black female social conservative from the south, here are ten potential candidates. Who do you like?

    Who should John McCain choose as his running mate?
    Matt Blunt - Governor of Missouri
    Mike Huckabee -former Governor of Arkansas
    Kay Bailey Hutchinson - Texas Senator
    Joe Lieberman - Senator from Connecticut
    Sarah Palin - Governor of Alaska
    Tim Pawlenty - Governor of Minnesota
    Condi Rice - Secretary of State
    Paul Ryan - U.S. Rep. from Wisconsin
    Mark Sanford - Governor of South Carolina
    John Thune - South Dakota Senator

    It's going to be Tom Ridge, former gov of PA. He is a close friend of McCain and will put Pennsylvania into McCain's column. With that state, the election is over.

    Why not Duncan Hunter. The ticket needs a little balance. Especially border security-wise.

    it's gonna be either fred or huckabee. it'd be foolish of mccain to choose a VP from anywhere other than the south.
