I just think we need a Southern VP, and it would be nice to be thrown a bone. Fred’s not too contraversial and would add a nice touch to the ticket. Hunter would too but he is not as well known.

I don't think either of them want it truthfully. I also think we need someone who is young (younger than McCain) and someone who can speak well and not choke. Many of those on 'the list' a bland and very unknown except in their own States.

The only ones who have been picked up on the 'national' radar by voters is Gov. Sarah Palin and Mitt. Many have no record to speak of and have not addressed national issues, except that they'll speak at the Convention. Many do not engender trust since they are unknown. Jindall is not ready for prime time yet, if he straightens out LA then maybe. Hayley Barber is older and has baggage that will not help a ticket.

Others who are know are unacceptable, to me. Like Crist or Rudy or Huckabee to name three. Cantor I have never heard of in Texas and have no feel and therefore no confidence in. KBH is my one of my Senators and I have no faith in her conservatism.

I don't think a bone is what is needed. We need someone who can learn and carry-on after McCain is done. Be it 4 (more likely) or 8 years.
