I’m hoping and praying McCain picks a conservative for the VP... it might only be a nod to conservatives, but it’d be better than nothing.

I'm with you, but I think it's more than a 'nod'. It's probably a 50-60% chance this VP would run for POTUS in 2012, and if McCain were to want and win a second term, a 95% chance this pick would run for POTUS in 2016. There's a lot at stake in this pick.

The pick also sends a signal to the liberal SCOTUS judges. If it's a conservative pick they're more likely to retire while McCain is POTUS.

I was hoping that McCain would pick a conservative running mate as well, that is until McCain gave that speech yesterday.
