True Cantor has little name recog.
Basically what you want in a VP choice is name recog., carry a big state for the party, bring in some bucks, a little charisma, experience as a Gov. won't hurt, conservative values are important, but name recog. is really high and super important.

Basically what you want in a VP choice is name recog., carry a big state for the party, bring in some bucks, a little charisma, experience as a Gov. won't hurt, conservative values are important, but name recog. is really high and super important.

What I want personally is a conservative president with an agenda who can win.

I know that option is gone now. I'll accept John McCain over Obama (or Hitlery, she isn't done until the convention) and I am toting a pragmatic mindset.

To date McCain is actually running within 3 points of Obama in Minnesota and if deemed necessary to be elected, Pawlenty may be a better pick to give him liberal Minnesota to make the difference.

Not the most conservative Governor, but perhaps one who could keep Obama or Hitlery out of the White House.

It's up to McCain and his staff in the long run.
