Tom Ridge - If he was Pro-Life, Mr. Ridge would be a homerun pick for VP. A favorable former governor and former Director of the Homeland Security Administration, Tom Ridge is an experienced politician with a good foundation of morals and values. However, his one political gaffe is his pro-choice stance. McCain picking a fellow pro-lifer would show that valuing life is at the center of importance and governance.
Joe Lieberman - An interesting ticket that would help carry alienated Democrats and Jewish Americans, but it won't happen. Look for Lieberman to be picked as McCain's Secretary of State.
Mitt Romney - Definitely looks and acts the part of VP/President. Romney would be an asset in regards to the economy. His business expertise and political experience could strengthen the ticket. However, Romney and McCain were cut-throat opponents during the primaries. Romney is to the VP as Obama is to Biden. The sound clips are all ready to go.
Tim Pawlenty - My pick for John McCain's vice president. Tim Pawlenty, 48, started his political career in 1988. He has been appointed to Eagan Minnesota's Planning Commission, City Council, campaign advisor to Republican Jon Grunseth, Minnesota House of Representatives (1992-2002), and the Governor of Minnesota (2002-present). Pawlenty is an an Evangelical Christian and married to a former Judge, Mary Pawlenty. He balanced the Minnesota state budget without raising taxes, has approved significant funding projects for the betterment of the state of Minnesota, has been a leader in reforming the Minnesota Education Department and transportation, and has developed a role for Minnesota in foreign relations.
My Republican VP pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty...

Despite the Dems and the allied main stream media’s desperation to see Romney as McCain’s Veep, Mitt is clearly out, with (1) Obama doubling down on the class warfare theme (McCain’s 7 houses) and (2) McCain doubling down with ads showing the hypocrisy of Biden attacking Obama in the primaries — Romney did way more than that contra McCain.
This leaves only Govs Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty. Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..
And if there’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com
Team McCain, well done!!!
