Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, on Friday is scheduled to meet with two Republican governors who have been prominently mentioned as potential running mates, according to Republicans familiar with Mr. McCains plan.
Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida, and Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, have both accepted invitations to meet with Mr. McCain at his home in Arizona, according to Republican familiars with the decision. One Republican said that Mitt Romney, a former rival of Mr. McCain for the presidential nomination is also expected to visit him this weekend. Mr. Romneys advisers declined to comment.

LOL, yep.
Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, is currently pregnant. The child has Downs Syndrome.
McCain will never pick Crist, for reasons every Florida Republican knows! Charlie is most probably gay, he is a good guy and doing a decent job.... but there is no way he will be VP.
This article is idoicy.
"Seems" is a good word for what he is. McSeems, yes, I like that.
All religions are NOT created equal. Romney has a right to believe whatever he wants. And I have a right not to vote for him if I think his choice of beliefs is a bad influence on the nation.
She had the baby a few weeks ago.
Why? Do you know anything negative about Steele? I haven’t heard anything.
I’d like to see Sanford.
Him and Haley Barbour are about the only acceptable GOP governors out there for consideration in 2012.
I don’t like supporting McCain, but I am.
However, if he picks Graham, I am sitting the election out.
We don't live under a theocratic system. Since when does being a conservative Republican mandate religious uniformity?
To me religious belief is important only insofar as it informs political ideals. I would vote for a non-Christian if I felt that he was a decent person who respected the rule of law and the freedom of religious belief and would work hard to protect them. I feel confident that is the case with Mr. Romney.
I like Jindal the best of the three, but if he’s the pick it takes away McCain’s ability to attack B-HO for his inexperience, because Jindal also has very little.
It’s an especially important pick, considering McCain might serve only one term. This VP could very well be the GOP nominee in ‘12, so Mac better choose wisely.
Thankfully I haven’t seen that SOB Lindsay Graham’s name pop up yet.
Yet.
Liberals tend to repeat lies over and over, which is exactly what I said.
I agree with your list. Jindal should stay in Lousiana and run in 20112 or 2016 if we lose this one. Romney is the only one listed in the story that I’d like to see.
[Silverback nods soberly] Yes, and the sad thing is that so many vote GOP and never think of the Democrat's outstanding record on civil liberties.
Please accept my sincere request to cram your bigotry in whatever orifice your species traditionally crams things in.
Well, fair enough. So which traditional view or value would you say Obama embraces? Would we agree that he opposes murder of a human being over the age of 20 years? I think he probably does oppose that, and I think you agree.
So he is a conservative. He embraces that traditional value.
McCain does, too.
Another traditional view or value would be, in 1861, that slavery is permitted in the US. Since conservatism is absolute and timeless, then this traditional value would define it. I suspect neither McCain nor Obama would embrace that position. I suspect you would not, either.
This makes you a liberal, perhaps?
So . . . either conservatism is relative and is redefined by the times or it is absolute and timeless. And the bad news is, there is no “gray area”, because that would be relativistic. It either is absolute and timeless, or it is not.
The conclusion is, obviously, there are people more conservative than others. There are people more liberal than others. Conservatism is not absolute and timeless. It is relative.
McCain is more conservative than Obama.
How come?
Oh please, not Powell. A great General, but a total jackass in relation to anything political.
That post was really uncalled for. A true cheapshot.
