He was born in Panama. Anyway, this would have been a bad choice for McCain. Gov Pawlenty checks every box a conservative Republican would want, but the "experience factor" would hurt him. Kind of Ironic, one of the best choices ruined by the candidate's own rhetoric................ BTW - the same would be for Gov Palin. She's even younger than Senator Obama. Before the Veepstakes, had anyone heard of these two? Again, both fit the conservative Republican bill to the letter, but neither has any federal experience. BTW - I'm a Democrat and that so called experieince factor doesn't really bother me, but the Republicans have made it an issue that could now come back to haunt them.

I hoped womens will see clear in his game. The funny thing is that for many evangelical women, they beleive that a woman cannot lead because they have been educated like that so McCain choosing a woman as his running mate will alieanate a lot of voters instead of giving him new voters. Obama as already said that he would give equal pay to women so even if McCain says me too afterwards, it will be like trying a little too late...

What a site the rich boys club? Also, there is alot of video of Romeny critizing McCain worst than what Clinton and Biden said about Obama. Get the tapes ready democrats. If he chooses Ridge, that will erode the repbulican party specifically evangelicals because Ridge is pro-choice. Not alot of choices. if it is romney, that is better. What a site the rich boys club?

It would have meant certain defeat for the good Senator from Arizona. It has to be Romney to solidify the West and take Florida and Michigan. I would love to see Rice or Colin, but that's not going to happen. Still, it's the three upcoming debates and world affairs from now until election day that will determine this thing, not conventions. Great!!
