i have heard good things about Gov Pawlenty in Minnessotta but georgraphically i would think McCain would need a Southerner or Border Stater. Gov Crist in FL is too much of a moderate from i understand but is from a Southern swing state. Haley Barbour maybe?

Barbour! Good suggestion. And unlike former LA Gov. Blanco, Barbour did a good job with Katrina cleanup, so he’d be insulated from unfair attacks about supposed “slow GOP Katrina response.”

If you are conservative you gotta love Haley Barbour. Not only did he help engineer the revolutioon of 1994 with Newt, he has been a fine governor for Mississippi. He has that natural warmth you can't fake and the common touch untainted by the snarky hypocrite nastiness of huckleberry.

In addition, Barbour knows the ropes and would make a fine president.
