McCain has the international/warrior/budget hawk background, he should pick someone that helps him on the domestic/economic side, preferably someone with a nationally known name. Maybe Michael Bloomberg.
A move to center would tick off Rush and his ilk, but they woundn't be voting for Barak or Hillary
He should pick someone who has the same unflinching stance regarding the war, and can inspire the conservative Republican base---someone preferably from the south, reflects strong, conservative values, but has the temperament of a moderate.
Only one name comes to mind: Condoleezza Rice.
Cansidering the recession we are now entering, there is one obvious candidate for Vice President who stands head and shoulders above all others - Michael Bloomberg.
Condoleeza Rice if she will do agree to run.
I think that Condoleeza Rice would be a good fit for him, although I do not want him to be President!
