Yep, he will need Lieberman to whisper answers to him. With Crist, it would be a team of dumb and dumber. Though maybe this meeting isn't about VP. No matter whom he picks, people do not vote for VP. For me, it would make no difference whom he picks. While I might consider voting for him if he picks Ann Coulter, that will never happen.

Normally I would agree with this 100%. However, in this case I will be choosing to vote/not vote McCain based almost exclusively on whom he picks for VP. I'm currently leaning toward a third-party vote, on the principle that a McCain win would destroy the future of the GOP as a conservative base (and would essentially give us a one-party system). However, McCain's VP will be in the best position to define the future of the GOP in 2012 and beyond -- so if it's a conservative, then I'll vote for the future no matter how little I like McCain.

On the other hand, if it's more of the same-old/same-old big government, rudderless GOP establishment (Crist, Romney, etc.), then it solidifies my third-party vote.

For me, it makes ALL the difference between voting for McQueeg or executing my tag line.

"...Though maybe this meeting isn't about VP. No matter whom he picks, people do not vote for VP...",

I think Cheney helped Bush with the "Intransigent Conservatives". McCain will pick someone who most people haven't heard of.
