Republican Vice President?

Who do you think should be Sen. John McCain's running mate should be in November?

I picked the names on the list based on who's recived the most attention as possible candidates for the VP slot.

I would say Mitt Romney, even though Huckabee would be my preference. Romney has experience in the market, and that is what McCain is lacking in his campaign. Also, with Romney's hold on conservatives, he could help McCain with that part of the Party, albeit Huckabee would be better in that regard.

I think Huckabee would be a better balance to the ticket, but the most intense speculation seems to be reserved for Govs. Tim Pawlenty and Charlie Crist.

I'd say Rudy Giullani or Ron Paul.

Possibly, I haven't looked too much into Pawlenty and Crist. On Huckabee, the only problem I could see would that a ticket with him on it might hurt McCain's reputation with moderates and independents; who view him as overly religious.

If Huckabee was on the ticket, I would jump for joy. Unfortunately, i doubt it will happen

Paul is a maybe, but Giulliani is out of the question (in my opinion). He really does not have as many supporters as Romney or Huckabee because he was eliminated early. Also, Giulliani caters to more moderate republicans, like McCain; and I doubt McCain would leave the more conservative ends of the party out in the cold.

I didn't mind Giullani and Paul look interesting in youtube.

But truth be told....it's all the same to me.

That's all I have to say.

I don't know if I'd be upset or happy with Ron Paul in that position.

Obviously not going to happen.

No way. Paul would never do it.

George W. Bush.

Giuliani's a covert liberal operative. I'm not sure what people actually consider him a Republican.

Romney's a mormon, and withdrew because he thought Americans wouldn't want a mormon as president.

Huckabee would appeal to the more Conservative voters, but I think McCain will choose Crist.

Ironically, he ran as a Republican this election. The Libertarian Party nominated someone else as their candidate. I can't remember him for the life of me, but meh.

So? Who else is there that the conservative republicans will be voting for? They aren't voting democrat. At worst he could end up with some kind of "Ralph Nader" problem.

If Mr.Paul were to be asked to be the VP and he said yes, then he would become the biggest hypocrite in this election.

King Kandy Senior Member

I want Huckabee. Mainly because i'm a democrat and think he'd drag their ticket down. If I wanted the republicans to win, maybe Romney.

KidRock Senior Member

Romney.

He has the most economic experience of anyone in the election.

Then he should be Treasury Secretary.

True, yet I'd still appreciate his excellent views.

Ron Paul would probably wiegh McCain's ticket down, considering how unpopular he is, and that's good, because I do not want McCain to win.
What I find quite funny is that he's even older than McCain!
