A Clue to the Next VP

Filed under News/Op-Ed
The GOP has announced the schedule and speakers for their convention next week. One thing this proves is that they are better prepared than the DNC who got their schedule released late on August 24, 2008 for the August 25 convention.
You can read the schedule at Media Lizzy’s website. As you are reading be sure to look for the missing names of people presumed to be on the potential VP List. This is a good indicator of whom John McCain is considering. I have prepared the following chart.

Someone asked me yesterday who I would most like to see and who I would least like to see as Veep to McCain. I answered I would most like to see Eric Cantor, and least like to see Mitt Romney. I am very encouraged by the above list!
VEEP Debates Q&A
QUESTION: How will Sarah Palin do in a debate with Joe Biden?
ANSWER: How many men watching will be aware that Biden is in the room?

Man Pig alert:
I would like to see Palin simply because she is soooo good lookin’
end Man Pig Alert…
I am hoping for Cantor or Lt Gov Steele.
Palin is attractive but she’s also smart and very conservative. McCain couldn’t do better. He’d make a hit with the Hillary voters and he’d go a long way making conservatives happy too.
