The talk for McCain supporters seems to center around which strategic pick will help boost his profile and odds. I dont think any pick will help or hurt that much. Obama's Q rating is likely higher than all these other guys combined, so by guess is that he is picking a VP running mate only because he is required to do so. He doesn't need any help getting more popular than he already is. And truthfully, who casts a vote with the VP's acumen in mind? "I am going to vote for George Bush because Dan Quayle seems to have solid experience in areas x, y, and z."

And Michigan is not unlikely for the GOP. Massachusetts, well, that's another matter. It's no secret I wasn't a big fan of Romney on his own. He's got more flip-flops than the shoe department at Old Navy, and he uses way too much hair gel. But as a VP possibility, if the church members will turn out for him (and I assume they will), he's McCain's best option. I hear Palin mentioned but I don't think she offers much. She's cute and very pro-life, but she doesn't swing any states. |

I don't think Biden was a good choice. It's not my field, but I think he was a terrible choice for many reasons. I also think his glibness will eventually get them into trouble. I've never found him entertaining.

That being said, I'm for Romney. I like his stance on gay marriage and social issues in general. I also think he'd be good for Mormons. This isn't like Turkey electing an Islamic fundamentalist.
