With all respect to your opinion, my opinion is that there are essentially two VP choices that will help McCain. Romney or Cantor.
Romney is the economic genius that McCain needs to counter his weakness in this area. Romney will debate rings around his opponent. Romney will greatly help McCain in at least 3 critical states that McCain must hold on to, NV, MI, and CO.
Cantor is young, dynamic and a solid Conservative who will definitely breathe some life into the Old Man’s campaign.
Either one of these guys will be an asset. The others (Lieberamn, Ridge, Pawlenty etc.) will insure a GOP defeat.
In addition, his family has avoided military service for over 150 years, how the hell could an SOB like that ask other peoples kids to die?
Looks like Cantor will get the nod.
Only if one considers tax/fee increases and deficits caused by universal health care plans to ideas of genius. What he did in Massachusetts isn't significantly different than what Hillary Clinton would have done.
Santorum?
