Who Should Be The Republican VP Nominee?

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!

TAKE ACTION: There are a bunch of websites that have sprung up, with polls and surveys you can fill out to give your opinion on who should be the Republican Vice Presidential nominee. They all promise to send the results to the McCain campaign, to "influence" his pick.

We've set our site up so that you can send a message DIRECTLY to the man who is leading the VP search for John McCain, right away. We've even made it easy for you - just click to insert your favorite choice into the message, and edit it to say it all in your own words!

Make your voice heard TODAY. Please click "Go!" NOW to send a FREE message to Arthur Culvahouse, the head of the McCain campaign's search for a vice presidential running mate, and let him know who YOU think should be the VP nominee.

NOTE: Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to make THEIR voice heard on who should be the GOP Vice Presidential nominee. Thank you!

MY COMMENT:

Even if McCain had Ronald Reagan himself as VP I just can't get excited about him as POTUS.... I think McCain needs to WITHDRAW from the race and allow conservatives to pick a CONSERVATIVE candidate to defeat Obama..

passing it on for comments....

Having said all this.. I don’t know what I will do come November... normally I would just “hold my nose” and vote for the “R”... but I just can’t see that happening this time.. I am sick and tired of the LIBERAL wing of the Republican Party telling us conservatives to “hold your nose and vote”

Exactly, it's not like McQueeg cares what anybody else thinks and a conservative willing to accept a VP slot under him only taints their own name and gains nothing.

A better question is who should be the POTUS nominee?

I’m thinking that after the convention in Denver, at some point, some shoe will drop with Obama that will be so bad that the Dems are going to have to replace him as a candidate like they did for the New Jersey senatorial race a few years back. That person will probably be Hillary. If they do that, then we will take the cue, and we will replace our candidate with Fred Thompson or some other good conservative.

..I think I could win in November--the Democrats are that messed up.

I'm thinking that McCain will choose someone who reflects the re-alignment in the GOP--meaning to the left...

It could matter if McCain should accidentally win the election. The VP could very well step into the presidency.

I have reservations about McCain too, but I’ll be voting R if for no other reason than to try to make sure we don’t elect someone named “Hussien” just so he can run over to Iraq and surrender. If that happens it will be a horrible day in our history.

"I just wish I could have had a say in who was the Presidential Nominee!"

You had a say in it. Your choice, like mine, lost. The difference is that you apparently are going to sit on your hands and send them all a message.

You might as well hold your breath until you turn blue also.

Believe me, I understand your feelings about it. I feel like I have to vote for McCain, though, a I don't want to be saddled with socialized medicine for the rest of my life. I also think we'd have a better shot with McCain choosing SCOTUS nominees than we would with Obama (or Hillary).

Working to get local and state conservatives elected. I can’t and won’t vote for Mcpain, so I’m sitting out this election. This country appears to be heading toward a brick wall no matter whom is elected. It’ll either be in dribs and drabs or a headlong rush into it.
