". . .have all accepted invitations to visit with Mr. McCain at his ranch in Sedona, these Republicans said."

John McAniac does not live in Sedona, No. 1. His home is much closer to Cornville.

No. 2, it is not a ranch, unless you consider having a bunch of cacti on your land a ranch.

I've been there and seen it via a walk with Dittomom's daughter from a dirt road. There were no "No Trespassing" signs as I recall. Of course, that was seven years ago, maybe he bought a side of beef.

McCain will never pick Crist, for reasons every Florida Republican knows! Charlie is most probably gay, he is a good guy and doing a decent job.... but there is no way he will be VP.

This article is idoicy.

I like Jindal the best of the three, but if he’s the pick it takes away McCain’s ability to attack B-HO for his inexperience, because Jindal also has very little.

It’s an especially important pick, considering McCain might serve only one term. This VP could very well be the GOP nominee in ‘12, so Mac better choose wisely.

Thankfully I haven’t seen that SOB Lindsay Graham’s name pop up yet.

Yet.

The real question is who does McCain have heading up the VP vetting committee? ;)

If it is Dick Cheney, be very worried. :)

If the ticket is McCain and (any one of the other six billion humans on the planet), the answer is still not only no, but HELL NO!

You know.... John Engler, the former Michigan Governor who had to step down due to term limits is not doing anything right now, he could do a lot worse than him as a VP choice.

I predict it will be Romney.

1. He’s rich.

2. He’s got a built in nation-wide network of willing workers.

3. He’s trained and primed from his time on the campaign trail.

Anytime “Mormon” gets raised, Romney can up the ante by talking about Wright or Islam....neither is positive for Barack Hussein.

My only problem is that he’s a Cino, but, who knows, maybe 4-8 years could help him consolidate his new conservative talking points into a real change of heart.

If McCain chooses Jindal, I want a JINDAL/McWhatzit08 bumper sticker.

If it hasn’t been done already, can we get a FR poll going on these three?

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.

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.

Here’s another McCain article which people are paying very close attention to.

Sanford would be my first pick-but I would think outside the box and go with Kudlow. No one explains supply side economics like that guy (Yes I realize that he is pro-immigration-but we are screwed on that anyway).

If it's Crist or Romney, I'm off the McCain bandwagon and will be looking for a 3rd party candidate to support.

If it's Jindal, I'm on the bandwagon fully.

That's all there is to it.
