What’s wrong with possibly choosing either Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal as his final VP choice? There are advantages to choosing a Governor as VP. IMHO, Eric Cantor’s main weaknesses is that he’s a white male who isn’t a Governor, but, other than these two things, I would be happy with Eric Cantor as McCain’s final VP choice. McCain would also seriously improve upon his chances for victory if he would name his “ideal cabinet” in a McCain administration. Most formal ‘08 Republican Presidential candidates would probably be willing to serve in cabinet positions in a McCain administration, if asked by McCain.
I would like either, but here are the practicalities:
1. Jindal said “no.” Saw it on TV myself. Wait to 2012 for Cantor/Jindal . . .
2. Palin -— and this is unfair -— is bound to have a bazillion photos, joint statements, and joint fundraising with the Senator from Alaska who is going to jail for being a crook. She will get slimed with that association, hard. Not fair at all, but that’s the way it is.
