I care.

[SootyFoot2]

Who cares? EVERYONE should!! That person COULD become THE president who makes supreme court appointments and other significant decisions.

[no dems]

I care because he’ll 72 on Inaugural Day.

My top three choices for VEEP:

#1. Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska

#2. Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota

#3. Bobby Jindal, Governor or Louisiana

Who Cares?

Under more typical circumstances, few would. However, McCain at age 72 and being the oldest ever party nominee makes the VP choice much more significant.

And at the rate McCain's gaffes are piling up, his mental faculties may come more in to question, especially if he is elected and the gaffes become even worse.

Your title has really swayed the masses. Maybe it should read as follows:

Who cares that I DON'T CARE?

[DemforBush]

Normally, I’d agree with the WSJ. This election year has been unlike any others, though, and I think this time it will actually matter who McCain picks (due to his age, problems with the conservative base, etc.).

[WildcatClan]

McCain has said what is most important to him is that the VP hold his views, beliefs and ideology. So, I have accepted that I am probably not going to like them anymore than I do McCain.

In regard to this pick a woman or a person of color rhetoric; That just makes absolutely no sense to me. I mean that is all about having a better chance at winning the election, but it shouldn’t be. To me, it is about nothing more than who is best qualified to lead this country should the worst happen.

It is really quite disturbing to hear people talking about this person being able to bring a certain state or demographic to the table. I just want the best available, and whatever sex or race that person is will work for me.

[Saundra Duffy]

Mitt Romney rocks.

[fightinJAG]

I’m not convinced this analysis applies this time around.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Since McCain is going to have his clock CLEANED by OBAMA, and you could stick a fork in the RNC as far as I am concerned these days, I want Scarface's VP choice to be as liberal a person as possible.

Hagel.

Snowe.

Graham.

Giuliani.

Maya Angelou for that matter.

Whomever.

The deeper the stake is driven in the heart of the corrupt GOP, the quicker there will be a necessary, massive realignment of American politics, back into LEFT VS RIGHT with two major parties (not MOD/LEFT VS. LEFT as it is now), or perhaps RIGHT vs. MODERATE/RINO vs. LEFT (three distinct parties, all strong and competitive).

[TheThinker]

What about Tom McClintock? As racist as Obama is being perceived, McCain and the Republicans could get away with two white guys on the ticket.

[Sun]

Who Sen. McCain picks for running mate will decide if I even vote for him or not, and many conservatives feel that way.

Who’ll Be McCain’s Veep?
~~~~~

Robert Garwood USMC couldn’t hurt—actually would add some class to the whole McCain act!

[mysterio]

Who'll Be McCain's Veep? Who Cares?

That sums up how I feel about it pretty completely.

[americanophile]

Khachigian is right of course, ultimately extremely few people vote on the veep, and he’s making a political point. That said, everyone seems paranoid that the very fit McCain is going to drop dead, so people are paying a little more attention.
