He is already ahead in total votes won and in delegate count. McCain is the guy who needs to name a VP running mate. He would be the oldest president in US history and with his type-A personality and age it is highly unlikely that he will complete 8 years in office. (Remember all the talk about whether Reagan was too old to be president? McCain is even older). Americans deserve to know now who they might be supporting to run their government if McCain is elected. But Thompson would be a bad choice. Imagine having two senators with no executive experience in the most important administrative position in the world.Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625983144565360540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432314.post-57639802807036647072008-01-20T16:57:00.000-08:002008-01-20T16:57:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625983144565360540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432314.post-19685224285540418372008-01-20T12:55:00.000-08:002008-01-20T12:55:00.000-08:00From a Democrats perspective anything with Romney/...From a Democrats perspective anything with Romney/Insert Name Here would be a wet dream of historic proportions.

A more likely combination is McCain/Huckabee. Huckabee will be the kingmaker by throwing his support to McCain. McCain has to have the lower middle class Republican voters to win the nomination, and they're behind Huckabee. Huckabee would be proud to be on McCain's ticket. Because of his stand on immigration, the only way McCain gets that vote is with Huckabee on the ticket. Both McCain and Huckabee are unpopular with the 40% of Republicans who think George Bush has been a good President, but in the end, they want to win the general election. The only way Romney wins the general election is if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee.Jim Garvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053373875474386785noreply@blogger.com
