It's Rudy (more speculation)
The Corner at National Review ^ | 19 August 2008 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 08/19/2008 8:55:27 AM PDT by SE Mom

So many e-mailers this morning are predicting that the McCain trial balloon is really about Giuliani. I'm not there, but here's one:

I don't think it's being floated for Liebermann or Ridge. I think he's considering Giuliani. - Might put NY in enough play to make Obama spend a lot of money there. - Has name recognition and gets plenty of respect on law enforcement/national security - Might be more palatable to pro-lifers if he were to make clear that it's McCain's pro-life administration The McCain campaign has already hired a Giuliani staffer as the unnamed veep's communications director...

It would definitely put Jersey in play. That being said, I would go with Palin.

I hope not. But then, I don’t really like any of the names being floated. Lieberman? No. Ridge? No. Romney? Please, no. I don’t have any idea who he should pick. The GOP field is pretty pathetic.

I will make a prediction here. I predict that on Aug. 29, 2008 we will all find out who McCain picks. BTW, there is a reason that he is announcing in Ohio, and I don’t think the reason is because he is going to pick Rudy.

LOL

Thanks, Mom!

He doesn’t get anything if he picks Rudy.

He gets national leverage if he picks Eric Cantor, the House Chief Deputy Whip. He’s helping to lead the House Revolt over offshore drilling ban.

If he did that, McCain would be snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Don’t worry, K-Lo doesn’t know and says that she doesn’t know.

“hired a Giuliani staffer as the unnamed veep’s communications director”

Has this been verified as accurate?

Fine.

Sit home on your rear and let Obama win, and you bear part of the blame for the damage he does.

This is not a child’s game of “I get my way or I don’t play.”

Grow up.

Rudy might be the only “pro-choice” veep pick that wouldn’t cause me to not vote against Obama with a McCain vote.

IE, any other pro-choice veep will make me vote libertarian or constitution party.
