Ok the primaries are over and the Dems are still making headlines and the pundits are succeeding in making the whole process as confusing as they possibly can.  So, I move on to the Repubs–Who will the VP be?

Recently McCain had a BBQ at his mountain retreat and invited Louisiana’s Gov. Jindal, Florida’s Gov. Crist and Mitt Romney.  All was reported that this was not a meeting of possible VP candidates, that it was just a BBQ.  Personally, I think it WAS a meeting of possible VP candidates.

Jindal was there as a meet and greet, bascially an introduction to the RNC and its workings.  Yes, Jindal is a bit popular in his home state, but do not see him as the VP, maybe in a couple years as he expands his influence within the party, but not this time.

Gov. Crist would be a good choice.  He is very popular and successful Southerner, something that would help McCain fight for the South.  But IMO, I say he will not be the VP—why?  Easy–he is a bachelor.  With the mentality of the American people–his every move would be photo graphed and reported–his dates would be nightly news.  McCain would be moved to the background as he was upstaged by his VP.

Now that leaves Romney–he is my bet–he would help with Michigan, Massachusetts, and he would be the best person to sure up McCain and his economic message.

OK, one big draw back–McCain and Romney do not like each other, but that has never stopped the parties from running people.  Plus, Romney wants to be Pres and this would give him the inside tract in 2012.
