[Political Junkie Too]

Here's my nightmare scenario:

I fear McCain's age and cancer. I predict that McCain won't survive one term in the White House if he wins, which is why his VP pick would be so important. Now, if McCain were to pick somebody like Fred Thompson as his running mate in order to boost his appeal to Conservatives, then I would have the same fear about Thompson's age and cancer.

So. McCain/Thompson wins, McCain dies in office and Thompson becomes President. Then, a Democrat Congress stalls on confirming Thompson's VP nomination until Thompson also succumbs to the rigors of the job, and then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ascends to the Presidency.

That's the nightmare, but I doubt that McCain would choose Thompson with the way that Lindsey Graham has been shadowing McCain.

If JM picks Lindsey as his VEEP, I’ll vote for Hillary.
