Veepstakes: GOP Edition

McCain is poised to name his pick at any point. Definitely tomorrow, though word may trickle out at some tonight. Go ahead, upstage Obama :)

Anyway, here are my thoughts:

Romney is still my first choice. Executive experience, smart guy, could take on Biden. Still don't like that dog story.

Pawlenty is boring, but maybe he'd help the gop win Minnesota.

I would like to see the Dems lambast Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and Hillary to just silently or not so silently stew about it. But she's not pro-life enough.

Giuiliani? No.
Lieberman? No. Secretary of State, maybe.
Bloomberg: Definitely no.

I wish Fred Thompson was still in the running!

Huckabee I am not crazy about.

I am pretty sure Tom Ridge and Charlie Crist are out of the running, though Crist did name Canady to the FL Supreme Court today. To prove he's a conservative?

Bobby Jindal is too young, and Louisiana needs him. With the hurricane headed its way, maybe, the state needs him more than ever. Four years, or eight years from now.

Sarah Palin, too young. But in 2012 or 2016, perhaps a Jindal-Palin ticket? The new face of the Republican party.

John Kasich, Eric Cantor, Rob Portman--they've all been mentioned but not taken too seriously.

Sam Brownback. No.

Or someone else entirely?????
