Well looking back at this election I do not believe Palin was the best pick. Granted I when Palin was proposed I thought she was a good pick. Overall these would of being the better picks for VP.

Mitt Romney: Wouldn’t of had such a divided ticket and would of won Mass and maybe they would of won PA, but there wouldn’t of being much youth on the ticket.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson: Experienced and they would of gotten the women vote.

Linda Lingle: Women, in her fifties, pretty experienced, and Jewish so they would win florida and Hawaii.

And that’s pretty much it overall.

SARAH PALIN (Alaska Gov) is the best pick all around. She brings women and young people – and she’s good looking. A STAR!
Why didn’t the Republicans discover Palin a year ago? McCain has waited too long. He should have named her as running mate within a week of his win. This woman’s integrity contrasts greatly with Obama’s deceitfulness. Plus, Shania Twain’s song “She’s Not Just a Pretty Face” is a virtual homage to Sarah Palin.
PALIN FOR VEEP. Now THAT’s CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. Do, it John McCain – then you might actually win. Otherwise, you’ll just be another Bob Dole in the history books.

MICHAEL STEELE does have some appeal in at least getting McCain elected but is he just another big government Rep. or…where does he fit in the political spectrum??? give me the truth now…

TIM PAWLENTY- the article states he is conservative, does that mean FREE MARKETS, FREE MINDS, or MORE REGULATION OF MARKETS AND PRAISE THE LORD HALLALUJA…if the latter then he is a NO.

remember McCain has the Religious vote (they aint voting for no Obama)… DEAR JOHN McCAIN: Do Not select a VP based on his or her appeal to the Religous bretheren and sisteren of the Republic Party..YOU WILL LOSE!

IDEA lets grow and then pair down TimB’s list
Lets try and only choose people who actually understand what liberty, capitalism is i.e. Bob Barr or Ron Paul
Thats who I add. my comments as follows.

TimB’s SERIOUS CHOICES list
Mitt Romney-…no, can we just get away from the religion thing and focus more on liberty?
Rob Portman-dont know about him
Tim Pawlenty-dont know
Newt Gingrich-BEST CHOICE I LIKE THIS GUY. HE IS SMART AND UNDERSTANDS FREE MARKETS AS WELL AS LARGE SYSTEMS
Mark Sanford-oK choice from what i have read
Sarah Palin- dont know
Chris Cox-?
Kay Bailey Hutchison-?
Jon Huntsman-?
NEXT VOLUNTEER TO REFINE THE LIST?

The above list is terrible. McCain needs to appeal to the true core of the Republican Party the “free minds, free markets” base, and choose Paul or Barr. Even though both of them “support getting out of Iraq” they are still VP not the Prez. They both have existing grassroot structures-Paul with his successful fundraising, and Barr with the current nod from the Libertarian Party either one would communicate smaller government benefits to the masses and various policy makers and beuracracy etc.
I am not a pollster but my gut feeling is either one would add a Perot size voting bloc to McCains’ existing voters.

Mccain’s best VP choice is Jindal. This is a no brainer for me.

Wonderful choices! People who believe God is a flesh and blood person living on a planet called Kolob; or that God saves all who trust HIm, irrevocably, even if they rape old ladies and rob banks.
People who believe homosexual sin is good and love to butcher unborn babies in the wombs of the vicious bitches carrying them.
The VP is a heartbeat away from becoming the most powerful person in the universe.
This collection of hockey pucks couldn’t handle a smalltown dogcatcher job.

I’m going to have to vote for Alan Keyes again.
