This weekend we will probably know who the two Vice Presidential candidates and so i thought I would weigh in on the picks. First the Big O's pick for VEEP.... I think he has three choices.
1. Joe Biden - older, experienced, a pit bul and great debater. The problem is that he knows more then O and made a comment during the primary season that O was a "clean, articullent black man." Not sure that will fly!
2. Bill Richardson - He is latino, been a governor and has executive experience and was the energy secty under Clinton. If O wants to make the ticket more acceptable palatable to a NON-radical liberal type, Richardson might be too hot to handle.
3. Hillary Clinton - If O wants to win - he picks Hill. But it will also make him look desperate and then you have to have the Clintons looking over your shoulder everyday. O does not like to be questioned or look bad.
MY PICK...Richardson - O is arrogant enough to go for broke!
McCain's man....I have three picks as well....
1. Mitt Romney - this is the easy pick. He is an economic genius; good looking; could be prez easy, has played the good soldier. He and Mac had words during the primary but I think it would be ok.
2. Tim Pawlenty - The last name is a problem -- hard to spell and pronounce. A GOP favorite - could help you take a swing state of Minnesota.
3. George Allen - I know you thought I would say Lieberman or Ridge. But I am counting on Mac knowing that either of these pro-choice politicos would sink his ship! George Allen - former Senator of VA; fmr. Governor; Redskin heir; thorough conservative. I like him even though no one throws his name around.
MY PICK....Romney - I thinhk Mitt could systematically take apart any of the O's picks and deliver financial backing and McCain needs money!
