Things that make you go Hmmmmm....

McCAIN'S NO. 2

The following names have been raised as possible vice presidential running mates for the likely Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona:


South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford: Strong conservative credentials, would be great for outreach to Mr. McCain's conservative critics.


Florida Gov. Charlie Crist: Popular governor who helped deliver Florida in the primary, could help deliver it in the general election.


Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas: Provides a conservative-leaning female face to round out the ticket.


Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty: Moderate Republican who was an early supporter of Mr. McCain's, could help deliver his swing state in the general election.


Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal: Rising star among Republicans, he has many already thinking president.


Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana: Solid conservative pick.


Sen. Richard M. Burr of North Carolina: Friend of Mr. McCain's and an early supporter in the campaign.


Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina: Longtime supporter on issue after issue, and possibly his closest partner in the Senate.


Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: Would bring balance to the ticket demographically and would underscore the national security credentials of the Republican team.
