Bobby Jindal is "Not Going to Be Vice President"

Hopefully Bobby Jindal put to bed thoughts on him as Sen. McCain's Vice Presidential candidate. Fixing Louisiana is where Jindal belongs now. At the same time the GOP needs to build up a bench of high quality leaders for future Presidential cycles. None of us want to go through 2007-2008 again.

Given what we know now who should McCain pick as his VP?

Video from MSNBC is below the fold.

It Begins and Ends With Romney

I think McCain Has to pick Romney.

Romney brings the ability to raise money...LOTS OF MONEY.

He brings the ability to swing states like Colorado, Nevada, Michigan, Virginia and others into McCains Win catagory.  Plus, Because Romney was the Gov. of Mass. he could force Obama into having to spend money in Mass. in order to hang on to it.  Money that would have been spent in Ohio or other swing states.   I dont really think the Evangelicals have a problem with Romney anymore, so the Mormon thing is a mute issue.  Plus, Romney has been an attack dog lately for McCain, going on major news channels and letting everyone know what kind of president Obama would be if elected. 

I think Romney will be McCain's VP.  I think annoucing it now is a great Idea and I believe that McCain will still get a bounce out of the convention If he just plans the Convention correctly and gets a Great speaker like Bush had in his convention in 2004.  

I know I am going to take a hit on this but I think McCains Best Choice is Mitt Romney

When has a VP won an election?

Off the top of my head the most recent examples of a VP candidate winning an election is Kennedy-Johnson and people can argue that Chicago's Mayor Daley was more important.

Voters in general don't choose a President because of the VP. The best that can happen is not ticking off your base. All McCain has to do is pick a pro-lifer who isn't Huckabee and he'll be fine. Romney's not a game-changer, nor can he fix the McCain campaign if it doesn't want to be fixed.
