Slight correction to my above post...
I think it
should be Ryan for the reason I listed and for those mentioned by Glock, too.
I think it could be someone else for all of the usual reasons that "sounded good at the time" but end up not mattering that much in the big scheme of things. For instance...choosing Alan West for the black vote. Not that that would be the only reason to choose him, it isn't. But that would be the deciding factor. Or choosing a woman because she's a woman. Or a Hispanic because he's a Hispanic. Or choosing someone from a particular swing state. (Funny how these items do not explain Biden...I still think he was picked in order to be sure that he would never, ever show up Zero)
I still think that McCain picked Palin because she was a woman. It was only by accident that she happened to be the most conservative person he could have picked. I say "accident" because she represented a lot of things that McCain hated. She was a dumb pick for him. There were lots of establishment women he could have picked and didn't. But I could be completely off base. Maybe McCain is a closet conservative. There is a
HotAir piece on him saying that Palin should be the veep pick. I don't think she will be, though, as much as I think she would be a good one. It would be funny to watch Meggie Mack's head explode if Palin was the veep again.
Anyway...we have a long time to go until veep-pickin' time. It usually happens the week or two before the convention and that's months away.
So...
Alan West?
Marco Rubio?
Chris Christie (Coulter's crush)
Some other governor?
Or something completely different?
