What Does Biden Mean For McCain’s VP Pick?
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, McCain, Republicans, Veep, VideoHonestly, I think he’ll now have to go with somebody like Romney and not Pawlenty, or else risk Biden eating a less experienced debater for lunch.
Here’s some more speculation…
One thing’s for sure…the candidate will have to be pro-life or else enough of the evangelicals will stay home to basically clinch this for the Dems. So Romney fits that mold, as well as being able to go toe to toe with Biden. And Romney helps McCain on the economy.
Also, think of the contrast in the debate with Biden talking foreign policy and Romney talking about the economy. The pluses to a Romney pick are obvious.
What do you think?

Now Who will McCain Pick They have shot their self in the foot when it comes to Romney McCain released attack ads on the Biden Pick because Biden said some things negitve toward Obama during the primary.
Romney called McCain dishonest during the Primary, and more.
Huckabee came in second during the Primary not Romney., This wont go over well with the Christian Base.
Romney and McCain would be the Super Rich ticket. In a middle Class Election.
Biden will win working class Votes, Romney will remind the working class he is the guy that lays you off.
Biden will be filmed going to church every sunday, Romney will be filmed going to a Mormon church, making the base of the GOP more then Uncomfortable.
So who should McCain pick??
Huckabee would energize the Base.
Huckabee is veiwed as Middle class, Winning overwhelming working class voters.
Huckabee didnt attack McCain during the primary.
Huckabee can hold his own with anyone in debates.
Huckabee Has 1 house
Huckabee is the most logical, despite what the bloggers that are on Romney’s payroll say. By the way, the radio host of Republican talk radio
they are on the Romney payroll too. Romney should learn he cant buy an election. He outspent every candidate during the primarys, even outspending Huckabee 6 to 1. Huckabee still got more delegates.

The problem with Romney is he drew a collective yawn from the American public in the caucuses/primaries. Fund raisning may be the only reason you pick Romney. One VP debate should not influence the selection. A Pawlenty or Palim (especially Palin) would be a roll of the dice but it gives teh Republicans a chance to energize the country about the party.
