Keeping my fingers crossed for Mitt.
*Yawn*
I thought it would be Romney, but Pawlentey has cancelled all of his appointments.
Either would do for me.
Number one rule for VP choice: political gravitas
I have a feeling that its not going to be any of those three.
“.....former head of the Winter Olympics?”
Doesn’t the author realize that being the Governor of Massachusetts is a higher position than running the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics?
Please don’t pick Pawlenty.
And I’m saying that as a resident of Minnesota too!
Somebody shoot the elephant if its Joe Lieberman. The GOP will no longer be a long term political party, just a political stunt.
My order of preference:
1. Sarah Palin - A great conservative, saavy politician, and an appeal to women’s votes.
2. Bobby Jindal - A great conservative, youthful, very smart, ethnic minority. A negative is that he is needed in Louisiana.
3. Kasich - Genuine conservative, young, personable and may help in Ohio, which is essential for a republican win.
4. Cantor - Like Kasich, but from VA. The pubs need VA less than OH.
5. Tim Pawlenty - Basically colorless, he neither adds nor detracts.
6. Mitt Romney - Good executive experience, successful businessman, has questionable conservative credentials. That, combined with some evangelicals who oppose him because of his Mormon religion, means he will cause McCain to lose votes.
7. Crist - Questionable conservative credentials, some executive experience, may cause some conservatives to not vote.
8. Tom Ridge - Pro-abort Politician, may help in PA, but will lose oodles of votes due to abortion view.
9. Joe Lieberman - Extremely liberal, except for the war on terror. May gain some independents and Democrats, but will lose so many conservatives that it won’t matter.
