McCain's VP

Submitted August 4, 2008 - 3:05 pm by Henry Dribble (not verified)

McCain has an unusual problem when pivking a VP. the usual strategies are well know: pick a weakness and fill it or pick a state to win.

but McCain is old. he only has a partial year to hit the average life expectancy for his demograph. so he needs to pick someone that could be President.  that people will be comfortable with. is Pawlenty the man for that?

I think the Obama team will hit McCain indirectly on age when he picks his VP. they will ask is he (perhaps Pawlenty?) ready to lead? and leave the age issue right out there, merged in something very true and appropriate. the age card is played from the top of the deck.

a few months is a very short time to get comfrtable with a new guy like Palwenty when you have in the back of your mind that he might be President. presonally no one could be worse than McCain but I am not one of his possible supporters, obviously.
