The bigger problem for him is that he'd be smeared as a closeted homosexual. Too much man-tan. Pawlenty is a good choice, though he might decline for the sake of avoiding the "running mate's curse" if McCain loses. Crist is actually a moderate by GOP standards.

Heather Wilson of New Mexico. She just lost a Senate primary for not being "conservative" enough. She's young (in her early 40's) and is bright. She is really, really good at debating. The idea is that she would help balance the ticket because of her gender and age. I see her biggest drawback is that she's really strong on defense issues and McCain already has that area nailed down. Keep your eye on her. I would NOT be surprised if McCain chooses a woman as VP in order to shock the establishment since Clinton had been running for the Dems. Another name that has emerged is U.S. Rep.
