McCain VP: Who, Where, When and Why?
By JR Hoeft | Thursday, August 28th, 2008 | PoliticsWe’ve been talking about it since Romney dropped out in February, and now the moment is finally upon us: Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, will make his VP announcement sometime today or tomorrow.
But it’s fun to talk about, so we’ll give it one more thread.
My thoughts are that although Drudge is reporting that there will be a leak tonight at 6 p.m., I don’t believe McCain will attempt to subvert Obama’s night. McCain will wait until tomorrow morning and have the spotlight all to himself.
So, it will be in Ohio — Dayton to be precise — tomorrow with Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota.
Pawlenty’s youth, brand of Republicanism, appeal to the working class, and executive experience makes him the best choice.

I am still hoping for Romney, but I will be in Dayton at the event. I will live blog it, from my phone on BearingDriftOhio.blogspot.com
There sure isn’t a whole lot of buzz going on over this, but we can assume its a stiff competition: http://www.236.com/news/2008/08/28/if_they_imd_mccains_vp_prospec_8550.php
Unfortunately just no one quite has the Obama rock star sex appeal to get interest going.
If he’s smart, he’ll pick Huckabee. I’d even consider voting McCain and I consider McCain a liberal.
