meaning that they have nothing on him (ready to be evulsed upon nomination).
Whomever the MSM has chosen (the gang of three, this week) is NOT the choice of a sane GOP candidate.

Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, on Friday is scheduled to meet with two Republican governors who have been prominently mentioned as potential running mates, according to Republicans familiar with Mr. McCain’s plan.
Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida, and Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, have both accepted invitations to meet with Mr. McCain at his home in Arizona, according to Republican familiars with the decision. One Republican said that Mitt Romney, a former rival of Mr. McCain for the presidential nomination — is also expected to visit him this weekend. Mr. Romney’s advisers declined to comment.

I would move to Cuba before I would vote for Crist.
Suit yourself!
Romney would be an an EXCELLENT choice.
Yep, that IS the best part. **WHEW**
Picking a guy with higher unfavorable ratings than Hillary Clinton is not an excellent idea. I would pick a VP that doesn't creep everyone out.
And why would you feel we might think you dishonest....?
You still fail to explain how electing a person for a secular office is in any way “promoting” the religion of that elected official.
Why would Romney play well in Ohio ? I understand Neveda, Utah, Mich, Mass and Colorado but why Uhio?
I appreciate Liebermann's integrity of rejecting the leftist extremism of his party and support of McCain, but we already have one independent/democrat on the ticket so why would we need another one as the VP!
Fred Thompson has said he’s not interested.
Can’t speak for those two governors.. but McCain should not be picking any of the also rans out of this years crop, period.
Choosing Charlie Crist would backfire badly. Conservatives are only reluctantly rallying around McCain as it is. Mitt Romney has credibility problems with conservatives, as well.
Now Bobby Jindal is an intriguing idea. His only drawbacks are a relative lack of experience and his ambitious Democrat Lieutenant Governor.
Whomever the MSM has chosen (the gang of three, this week) is NOT the choice of a sane GOP candidate.
From an article when people thought he might run for president:
Mark Sanford-South Carolina’s Governor
But if Republican primary voters decide that the 2008 standard-bearer needs to bring the party back to its Reagan roots, Sanford could be the dark horse to watch. The recently re-elected governor could capture conservatives’ imagination with his unrelenting adherence to core principles. Unlike most GOP governors who either pushed their state parties to the left or simply acquiesced to tax or spending increases passed by legislatures of either party, Sanford has battled profligate Republicans at every turn.
When the state House overrode all but one of his 106 spending line-item vetoes in 2004, Gov. Sanford stormed the Capitol the next morning with a piglet under each arm. Red-faced Republicans squealed, but voters loved the bold move. Realizing they couldn’t be quite as wasteful as their counterparts, the Senate sustained seven of the vetoes—but still overrode 99.
Sanford has been rankling fellow Republicans long before arriving in Columbia. As Congressman from 1995-2001, GOP leadership knew that he was beyond their control. In 1999, he and then-Rep. Tom Coburn (R-OK) used parliamentary procedures to save taxpayers a fortune. The farm spending bill came to the floor with an “open rule”—meaning any germane amendments could be offered. Reps. Sanford and Coburn together drafted 121 fat-trimming amendments, and after trudging through just a few dozen of them, House leadership pulled the entire bill. It was only re-introduced after $1 billion had been carved out.
If he doesn’t pick Sanford or someone like him I think I’ll go with Bob Barr. He sounded good today on Glenn Beck. I don’t agree with everything about the LIB party but it can’t get worse than what we have now.
You should vote Hussein, anyway.
The President is the highest office in the land. He does more than set policy, he is a role model.
Here’s another McCain article which people are paying very close attention to.
You left out General David Petraeus, whom Obama’s friends at MoveOn.org smeared last year.
