ALERT: Would YOU like a personal say in who John McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, should pick as his Vice Presidential running mate? Now you can -- and this isn't just some useless online poll. You get to tell the man who's actually helping McCain do the picking!
According to the latest news reports , Sen. McCain has tapped a former Reagan administration official to head his campaign's search for a vice presidential nominee.
Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee told The Hill newspaper that Arthur Culvahouse, who was Reagan's White House counsel from March 1987 to January 1989, would be helping McCain vet candidates and develop a list.
Culvahouse is a partner at O'Melveny & Myers and works in the law firm's Washington, DC office. Like many of McCain's campaign chiefs, he has been a long-time DC lobbyist.
McCain hosted several potential vice presidential candidates last weekend at his ranch in Sedona, AZ, including Mitt Romney, Charlie Crist, Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham and Joseph Lieberman. And there's even more who could -- or should -- be on the short list...
So let's help suggest who should be the VP pick!

She said last night on Glenn Beck that if asked today, she would say no.
For me, the VP nominee needs to be pro-family, pro-victory, pro-border control, anti-taxes, pro-individual responsibility, telegenic, articulate, experienced in domestic and foreign policy issues, and relatively young (like, under 60). S/he needs to be able to step into the Presidency on a moments notice.
Who fits that bill? Probably no one fits it all. I could accept Romney, Thompson, Pence, Coburn, Cornyn, Kyl, Kasich, Hunter, and probably others I can’t remember right now.
I would have a hard time accepting Lindsay Graham or Charlie Crist, or Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal. I think Palin and Jindal are potentials for down the road, though.
Simple. Thomas Sowell.

I think with all his faults, McCain is the best candidate to beat the democrats. I think he is going to pick Lieberman or some other democrat for VP. Maybe this guy bloomberg

No kidding.
There are some really stupid comments on this thread. Thanks for being a voice of reason.
Come on now......lets have some fun with this. I think the Prime Minister of Israel should be VP. Then watch the fireworks roll.
Can you say... GILF?
Hey, thanks for the link! I did take advantage of it to choose my guy for VP, and I sent the link on to my husband’s father in NJ, (land of democrats).
His father has told us he and all his friends are voting Republican. They’re not happy with the dems at all.
First: Zell Miller. Alternate; Joe Lieberman.

My choice for a VP to counter-balance the putrifying liberal-in-conservative’s clothing McCainiac would be the honorable Duncan Hunter. Unfortunately, it seems increasingly apparent that the limp-wristed liberal-lite Republican Party no longer wants a real conservative in position of authority within their squalid political inner sanctum. A pox on all their houses.
Many of my friends are liberal Hillary supporters who say they will vote McCain if Obama is the pick.
They can’t understand why I don’t like McCain.
