Kasich would be an interesting choice but how does he represent future momentum of the party?

He would be a huge mistake. I would have a hard time voting for him, as if McCain isn’t trying enough.

Why? John seems fairly solid.

I wonder if Kaisich as a VP-nominee would be willing to play “Bad Cop”. McCain really needs an agressive runningmate. Kaisich just strikes me as a nice guy.

It would be an interesting choice.

Works for me. I don’t know now many people remember who John Kasich is, though.

Kasich would be okay. Ceratinly better than the person I heard mentioned this morning on the “news”.

I heard on NBC this morning that Rudy Guiliani is the “front runner” to be McCain’s VP running mate.

This, if true, is extremely unfortunate.

I have steeled myself to go ahead and vote for the Insane Senator from Arizona, but I WILL NOT vote to put Rudolph Guiliani “one heartbeat away” from the presidency.

Let the lectures and the “flaming” begin, all you McCainiacs, but there is only so much I can take - even WITH the threat of B. Hussein hanging over my head.

By "momentum", I presume you mean tailspinning downward?

Far too many people associate him as hanging out with Gary Condit around the time Chandra Levy was killed.

Congressmen don't generally have the requisite Presidential stature to be considered Veeps (which is why none have been nominated for President by a major party since Garfield). The American Spectator, however, turns to the House of Representatives for 5 of their top 6 (all save for John Ashcroft(!).

The list from American Spectator says more about American Spectator than the candidates. For example, those they have highly rated barely register at Intrade, which indicates that Spectator is definitely thinking outside the box.

Ditto.

Didn’t John Kasich pal around a bit too much with Gary Condit...

Yes, he did pal around with Condit. Kasich's exit from Congress always seemed a bit mysterious to me. I would imagine the MSM would be dredging this up if Kasich would get selected to be on the ticket, which is why I bet he won't be selected.

I like the #3 suggestion, i.e., former Attorney General John Ashcroft. He has the experience, the knowledge, the wisdom and he is without question, a Patriot.

John Ashcroft would pull in the Evangelical voters, a big plus. And he would piss off the leftwing, BIGTIME!
