I really don't understand what conservatives would gain by a conservative VP candidate. The track record for VP's influencing the President's decisions is not impressive.

Are you concerned about succession, either during the first term or after Senator McCain retires?

Good points, Bernard. McCain should really be in a position to pick a VP that strengthens his appeal with the general electorate.

McCain’s own history seems to suggest that a VP pick for him would be little more than a means of drawing votes but would have no effect on policy because McCain does what McCain wants, period.

As far as suggesting that McCain might retire after one term, well that’s just plain sad that anyone would even try that pathetic ploy.

Yes. He has had two bouts with malignant melanoma and a body that has been absolutely ravaged with with torture, violence and five jet crashes (he is a “reverse Ace after-all”). In short, he’s a good pick for your dead-pool.

My wife is a Cytotechnologist who works in the field of Oncology. She says that the odds of a recurrence of the melanoma are not small and that if it does recur, it could kill him in five years, or it could kill him five weeks depending on how far it has advanced into the lymphatic system.

If he has a real conservative Veep, he would make sure that the Country would be in good hands in the event of his demise.
