I agree, a woman would create excitement and the sense that either way “history is being made” and many people are driven by that, including the salivating media types. If he picks a nondescript white male I think there will be a big yawn.

I disagree. I think the age factor makes McCain's VP pick verrrrrrry important...I think the folks would feel better with an experienced governor next in line--even if he is a white male. Just a gal's opinion. ;)

I agree, she looks and sounds like the female version of Poppy’s youthful, good-looking Dan Quayle pick.

If it is experience which determines how people will vote then the VP pick isn’t too relevant since Obama would lose out on that particular quality. Any voter worried about experience will already be voting McCain over Obama, regardless of the VP perhaps?

McCain needs a chick magnet.

John Kasich might be able to pull that off, more or less. He's 56. Most of the chicks that need to be "attracted" are there, or more, and they've been supporting Hillary.
