The VP should be chosen to be able to serve as President if necessary, not what works best against the opposite party. Mistake number one of the Dems. Does anyone in America think Biden could/should be president of this country if necessary? Not thinking people.

McCain should choose who he thinks could serve if he cannot.

My vote is for Chief Deputy Whip Eric Cantor.

I think that the argument against Big Oil is weak when two thirds of the electorate want to drill offshore.

Exactly, and while I think anybody McCain would pick is more qualified than Obama...I don't want to see him choosing a running mate based on a "gotcha" scenario to the Dems choice.

I could not have said it better. I love FR but sometimes you get some really strange opinions. This Painter guy is way out of line. There are some major wingnuts on this site. McCain should pick someone who could assume the presidency if something should happen to him. This idea of Palin is absurd.
