Who will be John McCains VP?

Two words:

Mike Huckabee.

I think the evangelicals have such a bad taste in their mouth for John McCain and they were not exactly favorable for Mitt Romney. Without the southern and midwestern evangelicals, kiss the GOP's chances goodbye. Huckabee carried Iowa and Kansas and did very well in Oklahoma and Missouri. Huckabee has a strong following in Texas and he carried Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and West Viriginia. He has big support in Kentucky and had a great showing in South Carolina.

Mitt Romney could add a more fiscal conservative and a strong business leader to the McCain ticket, but he can only shore up the mountain states and that's about it. He wasn't a player anywhere in the south and doesn't strike a cord with the Christian right.

Ron Paul would be a very cool running mate aside from the little issue of the war.

The governor of Florida has a very good shot at the VEEP. He helped bring McCain Florida and he a young and very well liked.

I've heard the governor of Minnesota is a play because of his swing state and his popularity.

Barber, the governor of Mississippi may have a little too much risk for a VEEP selection.

I think McCains stern character would not even consider Condi or Colin. I'm not sure how conservative either is and how much they add to a war hawk.

Doug Wead has conjectured Kay Bailey Hutchinson will be the VEEP. I'm not going to argue with a guy who served as a white house senior staffer and has been involved in several political campaigns.
