The only VP candidate that would help him would be someone from a swing state (e.g., Wisconsin’s Tommy Thompson, Minnesota’s Norm Coleman, Michigan’s Engler, etc.) or someone with broad pull from a different segment of the party or among independents (e.g. Guiliani).
I disagree. Very strongly disagree. A pick like that would cause me to lose my confidence in him. He already makes me cautious because of his association with McCain. I am just saying that I need a validation of his conservatism by seeing him choose a solid conservative. The VP position is more often than not the next Pres candidate in training. So I want him to pick someone I could vote for for President.
I've been saying it for a long time. Republicans will never reach the black community until they have a black man on their Pres/VP ticket. If we ever get our proper share of the black vote, the elections will cease being so close.
Speaking of the future candidacy of VP's......It is interesting just how much future power goes with primetime speaking engagements at the conventions. Never again should we tolerate giving the RINOs all that power. We need to make stars out of the right represenatives. There are not all that many opportunities to introduce the nation to your best and brightest.
We have had bad Republican Party leadership for a long time. Anyone else see that?
