Ack! Must Hurry With GOP VP Thoughts!

Drudge says McCain has decided who his VP pick is, and will inform the lucky fellow tomorrow. The timing is good - it upstages Obama's Thursday night speech.

But that means I have to hurry with my thoughts on the subject!

The Republican party seems divided in a triad these days: national security folks, evangelicals, and big business types. It seems reasonable that since McCain is a national security type, the VP choice will be either an evangelical or a big business type. But which one?

Since McCain teamed up so well with Mike Huckabee to deny Mitt Romney the nomination in the primaries, I thought that Huckabee was the natural choice. Talking with H.S., he's made me reconsider: Huckabee did not drop out when it became evident that he wouldn't win, whereas Romney was smarter and did drop out. Huckabee got full of himself and likely annoyed McCain to no end. Thus, Romney preserved his chances, while Huckabee blew his.

Hmmm..... Food for thought.....

Bobby Jindal? Maybe too young.

Joe Lieberman? Very unlikely, since it would anger party regulars.

Rudy Giuliani? Too much like McCain for McCain to tolerate.

Business types like Carly Fiorina? I can't quite picture that....

Tim Pawlenty? Maybe! Maybe! But who can say for sure?

Hmmm.....

Huckabee brings votes - Romney doesn't. I still think it will be Huckabee.
