The circumstances on which John McCain won this election cycle's nomination process dictates that he have a conservatively approved VP candidate. This candidate has to be enough to motivate hesitant conservatives to vote for his ticket. Most political hacks agree, and know this well, but I would like to give a bio and my perspective on his top four choices and would like to give the readers of this site a chance to deduce their own opinions by subjecting them to mine. McCain's political team knows that they need the conservative coalition behind him. Though I think McCain is acceptable to enough democrats that he will not need the full wind of conservatism in his sails, he will still have to unite this party. So in essence, he will need to implement the Rove (my personal idol) Strategy, which is, getting out more of your demographical voters. To do this he will need someone that is young(er), someone who is charismatic, someone who is....well not like him. No morons I am not talking Barack Obama not like him, more like Ronald Reagan not like him. Someone who is articulate, economically helpful, conservatively sound, and youthful enough to assume the electable throne of the American Presidency, in the event that McCain was, god forbid, to have some thing horrible was to happen to him. Lets get one thing “straight” about John McCain, no matter what your political beliefs are, John Sydney McCain is a great man that deserves the admiration of his country. Disagree with him politically, that is fair, but do not trick yourself into challenging his character and his convictions, the man is quite possibly the most honest and trustworthy politician in Washington D.C.

This is the link to Condoleezza Rice's bio. Condi is well liked by the conservative wing of the electorate, but she is pro-choice. Since she would not have any authority on this as Vice President I will refrain from being totally against her. I think Condi is a great human being and I would love to watch her in the veep debate. Her intelligence and demographical prowess could be very pivotal in this election cycle, well depending on which.... uh well you fill in the blank....candidate they nominate.

There are not enough accolades to describe Tim Pawlenty. I realize that a lot of you do not know who this is. Hell, I really did not know who this is, but it is now time to get to know him. Tim is soon to be a star of the republican party. I beg you to read his bio and do all research necessary to satisfy your insatiable appetite for conservative perfection.

Mitt Romney finally got the whole conservative coalition behind him, after he dropped out. The speech at CPAC catapulted him to the top on most list. I have to truthfully admit I most definitely was not a big Mitt fan. He seemed to have changed his mind on several key issues. He has openly stated his case several times for changing his positions, and now promises he would make the RIGHT decisions.

Finally the outside guy of this group is Rob Portman. He like Pawlenty, is not well known. His economic credentials would prove very vital to the McCain team. Also his geographical help could prove very key, He is from Southwest Ohio. That is where the Rove Strategy was extremely pivotal in the 2004 elections. As Ohio goes so goes the election.
All in all, I will help John McCain no matter what his veep choice is. Given a choice between a member of a racist church, terrorist befriending, son of a hippie, or the most phony, corkscrew landing, uber b****, Buffalo Bills fan, or a decorated war vet who tried to hard to get the Sierra Club Members Card.. I will take the decorated war vet who leans right on most issues.
I have it as a toss up between Mitt Romney, and Tim Pawlenty. The fat white american choses............. Tim Pawlenty. His freshness and outstanding conservative credentials set him apart. His only possible flaw is the fact that we do not know much about him. Lord only knows what this man has done in the last 20 years, but I believe the McCain team would totally vet him, god I hope so. Hopefully the GOP vetting system is better than the Dems (Barack Hussein Obama) we would not want another Dan Quayle.
