I have not played the VP guessing game but I have to believe McCain understands how important his pick is. I presume he will want someone who believes as he does but he has to understand his pick will impact conservative support.

McCain understands how important his pick is.

A couple of articles showed up yesterday about Huckabee as the potential top-of-the-list front-runner.

I posted this in another thread:

This may be nothing more than a trial balloon to see how Huckabee fares.

Recall that a couple of weeks ago, the hoopla was about Rice being the potential/probably VP selectee, and that ‘rumor’ fizzled after the responses weren't very positive.

I figure we will see a few more 'front-runners' as more trial balloons are sent up.

I don't see McCain making the announcement anytime soon. Historically, the name isn't even revealed until the Presidential nominee is confirmed at the convention.
