Charlie Crist is the man... that is all

I would actually really like it if Charlie Crist is McCain's running mate. In fact, I would vote for a McCain-Crist ticket over a Clinton-??? one. The only downside of that is that he wouldn't be Florida's governor anymore.

Bobby Jindal is another possibility that I'm open to as well.

Don't take this as an accusation, but why would Jindal on the ticket be something you'd support? From the McCain/Crist v Hillary scenario it sounds like you'd prefer someone a bit moderate, and Jindal is one of the most conservative potential running mates mentioned.

I would prefer someone a bit moderate, which is why I like Charlie Crist. But, if Jindal was McCain's running mate, then I think that would actually help McCain with his base, since so many GOP folks feel McCain is too liberal (and I don't like his views on illegal immigration). Plus, Jindal has managed to get Louisiana a budget surplus, which I didn't think could happen in my lifetime.

A McCain Moment: Do You Want Four More Years
of This?
Arianna Huffington 3/26/2008
If our polarized country can agree on one thing, it’s that the greatest danger facing America over the next decade will not be Islamic extremism and instability in the Middle East, but rather Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. That’s just “common knowledge,” right?

So it only makes sense that the media have focused nonstop on this looming threat while paying scant attention to the fact that the presumptive Republican nominee for president apparently doesn’t have a clue about what’s going on in the Middle East.

And with the U.S. death toll hitting 4,000 (with 25 American soldiers killed over the last two weeks, the deadliest fortnight for our troops since September 2007), and with another 57 people killed in Iraq on Sunday, John McCain’s tenuous grasp on what is happening in the region becomes all the more worthy of attention.
