Who should John McCain pick as a running mate?
John McCain is the Republican nominee for President of the United States of America. Now he needs a running mate. Who do you think it should be and why?
Bobby Jindal. 36, Governor of Louisiana
Mitt Romney, 61, Former Governor of Massachusetts
Mike Huckabee, 52, Former Governor of Arkansas
Charlie Crist, 51 Governor of Florida
Joe Lieberman, 66, Senator from Connecticut
Condoleezza Rice, 53, Secretary of State
John Thune, 47, Senator for South Dakota
Tim Pawlenty, 47, Governor of Minnesota
Richard Burr, 52, Senator for North Carolina
Mark Sanford, 47, Governor of South Carolina
Kay Bailey Hutchison, 65, Senator from Texas
Hailey Barbour, 61, Governor of Mississippi
Just like the Democratic VP post this is just a starting point. I want to know who you think will be and should be the Vice Presidential running mate for John McCain.

Hey, how about Carly Fiorina?! She’s been campaigning with Senator McCain and co-hosted a special town hall meeting last Saturday for disgruntled Clinton supporters. She would be a great choice as she could help in two areas: (1) disgruntled white women who are pissed off over the way Senator Clinton was treated; (2) economic/business expertise. It’s a long shot but she is MY pick for Republican veep.
I think that Carly Fiorina would be a fine choice. Like you say she would please the female demographic. Plus she’s a woman that has some real business knowledge and the way it’s set up now the US government is the biggest business in the world. Of course it’s being run in a manner that would force most business’s out of business. But that just means that it would be a great time for a CEO like person to help run the country and cut pork where needed and we all know there is a lot of pork out there. Here is a link to her site http://www.carlyfiorina.com/ and here is a link to a CBS story that has her talking about being fired from Hewlett-Packard

http://www.susancollins.com is a fine woman and I do like her plans of being energy independent by 2020 pleases me very much. That’s the way this country needs to be thinking. But she also gives the other side some ammunition. There is the whole thing about running on the premise that she would only serve two terms. A promise that she didn’t keep. But people change their minds so can’t attack her to much for that. But then again Senator Obama when in 2006 asked if he would serve his full 6 years as senator. Said “Absolutely.†we know that wasn’t exactly true. But things change and people in power tend to want to stay in power. Just how our system works these days.
I think Rudy Guilliani would be a good running mate as Rudy is kind of liberal and can help attract Independents. Rudy also has an evangelical thing going and he’s pro-choice, which might help in getting more Clinton supporters.
I’m also liking Palin from Alaska, but I don’t know enough about her.
Well, I’m a Democrat so my opinion may not be worth much on this side. But Rudy would be a real waste. There are many people who like him, but he has a lack of moral fiber. No, don’t throw Bill in my face on this. Rudy tried to move his Mistress into the Governor’s Mansion with his kids, and his wife had to take him to court about it. I’m not so upset about the mistress, its moving her into the mansion. He doesn’t even think about appearances… and they are important. Actually, maybe I do want McCain to pick him….then I’d know McCain would probably lose the election.
I liked Bill. I could really care less how he gets his jollies. I agree that Rudy is kind of an ass for doing that, but I think most of the candidates have done something stupid, like that. :-/
