VP Feedback
2008 May 22
From what I’ve read, the three top possibilities for V.P. picks by McCain are Charlie Crist (Florida), Mitt Romney (Mass), and Bobby Jindal (LA). Other than Romney I know very little about these guys. What do you know about them and which of the three would be your pick for a McCain VP? What can your nominee bring to the ticket? Besides these guys, who would be your ideal pick?
Personally, I’m for nominating Bob as VP!
Crist is a somewhat moderate Republican. I believe that he is conservative on moral issues, a bit more progressive on economic and environmental.
I know that he is quite popular in Florida.
I could vote for Bob.
I know at one point he was considering Condoleeza Rice. (I think I spelled her name right.) Bobby Jindal, from what I have read seems solid. He has done much to rebuild NOLA, plus his age will offset McCain’s by about 35 years. McCain joked a day or two ago that he had the “oldness” to get the job done. I thought that was funny.
I nominate Papa Ron.
i don’t any of them,
i would go for mikey hugabee
I’ve done some reading on Jindal, and from what I can tell he seems to be a good choice. Time will tell.
I don’t think that anyone from Kansas (including Senator Sam Brownback, and our governor Kathleen Sebelius) would make a good VP – but thanks for the nomination Cameron.. and for the endorsement Gordon!
Sadly, I have become a single-issue voter this year and McCain’s position on the Iraqi War disqualifies him from consideration for my vote.. guess that is what sometimes happens when you have a soldier in your fmily. Possibly if he picked Ron Paul as his VP I might reconsider him – now that one made me smile.
Feel free to withdraw your nomintions and endorsements
Jindal would be a good pick. I still haven’t decided whether I’m going to vote against the Democrat or for a third party. If McCain picked a staunch pro-lifer I might be persuaded to vote Republican. I’m hoping the chatter is right about McCain only being interested in being a one-termer.
“I still haven’t decided whether I’m going to vote against the Democrat or for a third party.”
Casey, that’s the same dilemma I (and I’m sure many others) are facing. Right now, I’m leaning toward the negative vote, but I certainly understand and empathize with those who decide to go third party.
