Possible vice presidential picks to see McCain |
2008-05-22 |
Republican presidential candidate John McCain will spend time this weekend with three politicians who have been mentioned prominently by Republicans as possible vice presidential running mates. A McCain campaign official said on Wednesday McCain would host former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal at his ranch in Sedona, Arizona. A total of 10 couples were invited. "It's a purely social weekend with friends, something he obviously likes to do from time to time," said the official. |

#6 My money is on sebelius (greensburg exposure, state of union dissenting opinion, woman governor in a 'red state')for bo, so however that factors in. Steele would be fine by me, don't know much about Watts. Powell or Lieberman would not surprise me one bit. |

#5 Steel or Watts would work for me. I know a lot of folks dislike Colin Powell - but don't be surprised if his name gets brought up. |

#3 If he gets Michael Steel, he can draw in his conservative base, and he will have a salt-and-pepper team to ram down the throats of the dems. I personally feel betrayed by McCain. He is going around making overtures to center dems and he thumbs his nose at just plain joes, like me, who want basic values maintained. I will vote for McCain, but he is not that far right of Hillary. The American people are being literally looted by both parties. Politicians.Make.Me.Mad.Need.Diazepam.Now. |

#1 Jindal is good, but too young; two terms as LA governor and he'll be ready to go. Crist is hated by conservatives. It'll be Romney (who, unfortunately, has the whole Mormon thing around his neck). |
