John McCain’s choice MUST BE somebody that the American people can look at and say “If, God forbid, John McCain were to die in office, I can envision this person as the President.”
I’m sorry, but I cannot say that about any of the women mentioned, and truthfully, few of the men. I think the choice has to come from one of only two or three of the primary candidates - and Fred is too old.
Tim Pawlenty really seems so underqualified for the job.
I think that McCain almost has to pick Romney from the current field. He would rather pick Tom Ridge, but he appears to have be taken off the short list.
What about General David Petraeus? He would be a great choice.
