McCain's Running Mate?

[mikesilvia]

I have heard a lot of chatter this week that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will be McCain's running mate. He is the youngest governor in the US right now at 36 years old.

I don't know much about him...but I certainly will read up on him.

Does he not have someone running against him right now?

McCain has already won the Republican party nomination. This individual may be a possible running mate (aka future Vice President if they win the election).

I'm from MN and I know Gov. Tim Pawlenty's name has been swirling around, cuz he's been big in McCain's campaigning

[mikesilvia]

Yes, MN is an important battleground state.

[garnett_21]

yes, especially this year....it's normally a Democrat winning here, but if Pawlenty is McCain's running mate, it may go to the Republican's this year....even if Pawlenty isn't McCain's choice, it still may go to the Republicans just because Pawlenty has been so involved in McCain's campaign

I was watching The Daily show the other day and John suggested to Mr. McCain that he might think of having Hilary Clinton as his VP. This would a interesting pick but it will never happen as this would cross party lines.

Unless you are actively following it, and even sometimes then, it gets very confusing

Just heard on the local news that the list of top 5 VP choices for McCain came out in the Washington Post I think, and Pawlenty topped the list
