[TexasNative2000]

McCain's ego is larger than his paranoia. Although he won't like having a strong, articulate running mate, he knows his chances are better with one than without.

The affirmative action choices (sorry) won't fly. Palin, Hutchison, Jindal, Watts, and the like would make McCain look like he's reaching. The media would crucify the choice as Clarence Thomas times 10.

It's going to be a conservative white guy from a swing state.

Romney.
