VP speculation

I don't agree with a lot of Jim Webb's votes since he's been in the Senate, but everyone should read his book, Born Fighting especially those of you who "ain't from around here." It explains the origins the Scots-Irish culture that is dominant in the Upstate and other areas of the South.

Double ugh. . .

i like Crist from Florida for McCain, and Obama would be crazy not to ask Hillary. John Edwards is not a factor.

Okay, I saw JD and Petunia getting into a good conversation about Vice Presidential picks in my McCain bashing thread and since that thread has run its course, I figured I'd do us a public service and get a good conversation going in a separate thread! We all know McCain is an old geezer, no need to rub it in anymore!

So, which young, vibrant Republican will McCain pick to counter this?

Also, will Obama pick a woman or will he pick somebody with foreign policy experience?


Here are some choices to get you going:

McCain:


Mark Sanford (helps with the pigs)
Mike Huckabee (helps with the base)
Mitt Romney (helps with independents, the Midwest)
Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback (helps with the base)
Florida Gov. Charlie Christ (helps with the gays?)
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (young, smart, swing stater)

Others...


Obama:

John Edwards (helps with white men, and working class whites generally)
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (foreign policy, Western values, hispanics, swing stater)
Virginia Sen. Jim Webb (lots of foreign policy experience)
General Wesley Clark (military experience)
Sen. Joe Biden (experienced, smart, witty)
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (women)

Others...

Wille H, another stupid post. Don’t you think McCain’s VP needs to be a man committed to his family? If so, Crist ain’t it. Crist is a playboy

that hurts. maybe he should just pick Ron Paul.

Indeed, folks in Florida say Crist plays with boys. Perhaps not so good on a Republican ticket.
