I think he needs to name his VP tomorrow morning to blunt this bounce Obama may be getting. If I were him, I too, would choose Palin as VP, or perhaps another strong, conservative woman for the position.
I think it would change this race instantly in McCain’s favor and would add some excitement into his campaign. But if he’s going to do it, he needs to do so before Obama beats him to the punch.
His campaign announced this past week that McCain will pick his running mate soon, before the start of the Olympics, they want to maximize the effect of the choice, they don’t want it drowned out by the media’s coverage of the Beijing Games.
