The Bucket List

As Washington begins one of its favourite guessing games, the Arizona senator has refused to divulge any names. But aides have admitted that Tom Pawlenty's will be near the top of the shortlist.
Aged 47, the Minnesota governor will provide a youthful contrast to the 71-year-old war veteran, and is only a year older than Barack Obama, the Illinois senator who is the narrow Democrat favourite.
Other names in the mix include South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and Florida Governor Charlie Crist, whose support for Mr McCain helped secure early primary victories in their respective states.
With the Democrats set to field the first female or black White House nominee, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has emerged as a possibility, along with Bobby Jindal, who last year became the first Asian American to win a governorship, in Louisiana.

Yes she is.
Sarah Palin.
I was really, really hoping for John Boehner, however.
The only problem with Steele is, while he is one Black Conservative who could win the support of Blacks and Whites (and others alike), he probably would be attacked by liberals for only having the experience of being Maryland GOP Chairman and being Maryland Lt. Governor (even through it is definitely more experience than Obama has, especially some executive experience).
Hutchison, while she supports legalized abortions, would probably be more creditable as a VP candidate, due to her extensive political experience (which is certainly more than Hillary Clinton’s).
He might as well add pretty Lindsey Graham to the list to finish it! They've been posing together in most of the recent pictures I've seen.
The REAL 3 Stooges!!
Mcain/Petraeus 08
Didn’t Steele just lose a big Senate race? Not someone who has been able to win the support of Blacks.

Jindal would be a great candidate, when he gains more experience as Louisiana’s Governor.
That said, he is barely old enough to be President. But I think he certainly has great potential in the future.
The VP choice of McCain will have to accept the fact that their political career will probably be toast aqfter the election
Bobby Jindal?
Is he old enough (i.e., 35 by Jan 20 2009) yet?
2nd trial baloon popped. Next.
UK, Telegraph?
Well....Now we know who is NOT going to be his VP selection.
Jindal will turn 37 this June.
Oh please, NO! McCain is bad enough. We don't need that Israel hating, terrorist loving, globalist in there with him.
The last time the Telegraph made an accurate prediction was for “Fog in London”!
Didn’t Kasich used to run with the same crowd as Gary Condit?
