I don’t know.
But I’d be interested to know what you think of this one.
Button, Button, whose got the Button?
Here’s another possibility.
Who’s that guy standing with the pretty (but apparantly cold) brunette?
If he could squeeze a few extra points out of metropolitan Cincinnati it might be worth considering.
...and is so sadly and predicatably the case with the Kasich generation, "Years of Military Service: 0".
Were they all so damn busy and/or decrepit they couldn't even make time for the reserves?
Thank you!
Rob Portman seems like a good man, but I’ll research him more.

Portman for VP
By Robert Novak
WASHINGTON, D.C. — While Sen. John McCain will not decide on a vice president for many months, Rob Portman gets the highest marks inside the Republican presidential candidate’s organization.
Portman’s background is legislative (House Republican leadership), executive (George W. Bush’s Cabinet), diplomatic (U.S. trade representative) and economic (Office of Management and Budget director). He comes from a swing state (Ohio), is young enough (52) to contrast McCain and conservative enough (89 percent lifetime American Conservative Union rating).
A footnote: Key conservatives in his home state do not want Florida Gov. Charlie Crist on the ticket, but he is popular with voters in that crucial state. McCain likes Crist and owes him for his endorsement just before the Florida primary. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, a favorite for vice president among conservatives nationally, lost ground with McCain by not backing him in 2008 as he did in 2000.”
