I liked John Kasich. Wish he were on the list.

...and pro-Palestinian. Condi? No thanks. She is too much State Dep. My choices for VP would be John Bolton, Fred Thompson, JC Watts, Michael Steele or further behind Pawlenty.

...and Tim Pawlenty in 4th? How sad! He shouldn’t even be on the list.

Jeb Bush will never get picked, simply because of his last name. Charlie Crist probably won't get it because of his white hair. Two old looking white men will turn off way too many voters. Fred Thompson doesn't want the job and would be too old to run in 2016 even if he did want veep for now. Condi Rice doesn't want the job, Mitt Romney is probably too proud to settle for number two Joseph Leiberman supposedly doesn't want the job and Huckabee is too evangelical to suit McCain. Sarah Palin is going to have baby in May and while she'll be back at work in a few days after that, that's totally different from running all over the country in a frenzy for five or six months. That eliminates half the crowd.

Pick her, sell her to the demonRATs in the senate, at market price, and balance the national debt.

spitzer will verify her value.

While he only paid her $ 4,500 she cost him millions.

Why the huge sampling of pro-aborts? Has there been an upwelling of support for baby-killers in the GOP lately that I somehow missed?

Mitt has already said that he WOULD accept a VP slot. And besides, who better to advise McCain on the economy, which is going to be the N0. 1 issue in the campaign?

Condi

Two RINOs on one ticket? Never. Colin POwell would be even worse. He's not even a RINO, he's full RAT.

Repubican is not Conservative.W is also a RINO! In today’s feminized, narcissistic, multi-culti globalzed climate there is not a snowball’s chance in Hell that a real conservative would ever be elected anyway. You want a ticket that would beat the Dems? McCain/Condi.

BTW: Guiliani was a lot more conservative than McCain (excluding social issues dear to his constituents in NYC) and he was routinely mocked here for his appearance in drag at a burlesque.

Are you kidding? I suspect the #2 spot was the reason he ran in the first place! Romney's been falling all over McCain ever since he (Romney) exited and he's been like a little puppy all wagging and drooling with good natured enthusiasm. He is definitely young enough to run for President later. I'm no real fan of Mitt's but that's just based on his gun control record and the USSC is about to put my mind at rest for that issue, finally. I don't see any major laws negatively impacting the 2nd Amendment in the foreseeable future. Mitt IS a successful businessman and that's where McCain is weak, VERY weak: On the ECONOMY.

His best choice for someone younger, attractive, having all Republican credentials who would pull a large number of votes which would guarantee a large number of electoral college votes, is Rick Perry. Some Republican activists in Texas are sick of Perry, but the vast majority of Texas voters don’t know that and nation-wide they don’t know that. Perry went to a California Republican large meeting about six months ago, and he got standing ovations during his speech; they loved him. He’s handsome and women would like that.

I’m one of the activists who is sick of Perry’s heavy handed methods.
