As Washington begins one of its favourite guessing games, the Arizona senator has refused to divulge any names. But aides have admitted that Tom Pawlenty's will be near the top of the shortlist.
Aged 47, the Minnesota governor will provide a youthful contrast to the 71-year-old war veteran, and is only a year older than Barack Obama, the Illinois senator who is the narrow Democrat favourite.
Other names in the mix include South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and Florida Governor Charlie Crist, whose support for Mr McCain helped secure early primary victories in their respective states.
With the Democrats set to field the first female or black White House nominee, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has emerged as a possibility, along with Bobby Jindal, who last year became the first Asian American to win a governorship, in Louisiana.

“the TTC being the other.”
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinkin’, he’s a sellout.
“What has he (Perry) done to make Texans so riled up”?
Plenty. Opposition to the Border Fence (Only after he was re-elected with 39% of the vote in a 4 way race), his refusal to push 3-5% Appraissal Caps on residential Real Estate, his plan to forcibly vaccinate 12 y.o. girls against a form of STD, a new Business Tax (15%) and most of all The Trans Texas Corridor (Nafta Highway).
And many others too numerous to mention in this late hour.
“Bobby Jindal 2016!!”
We have to wait that long???

Got it! Thanks.
No, the post asked for a dynamo person who can bring in votes -- not an pro-abortion, mexican-hugging, Palestian sympathizer who would be selected on the basis of affirmative action and who's candidacy would cause voters to run screaming for the hills when they're reminded endlessly of the state dept.'s "record" during the Bush administration.

There are so many of us out there, fitting the description, but without leadership...
Crist is further left than mccain. gross. That would seal my decision and make it easy for me to vote obama or hilary.
remember obama killed keyes 2 years ago.
You are so brand-new and are asking so many questions.
You must be an Obama guy, and may I proudly welcome you to the KILL HILLARY movement here in Texas.
You need dirt? We got it in tera-spades on her, just ask!
At I’m not the only one to suspsect that.
One of the few strategic advantages we (meaning Republicans) have this election cycle is that our convention comes after the Dims. McCain would be an idiot if he decided to name his running mate before he knew what he had to counter on the Dim ticket.
As Floridians who knows best?
WE DO.
huh???
And, apparently you have read none of my posts...
What if someone is ‘wrong’ in one of those things on the list, but ‘right’ in everything else? Would it be enough to say that he/she is not a conservative?
You did not answer the original question. What is “fluid” about Conservatism? You cannot answer a question with a question, at least not to me.
Well, there are two great vote-getters available — Romney and Huckabee.
Neither of which helps win a state that Dubya didn’t carry in 2004.
I think Larry Craig might be looking for a job soon and his wide stance could help to expand the Republican tent.
Damn, four days old and you’re pushing FR regulars around.
You remind me of that baby tossing formula in that E-trades commercial.
