With all the speculation surrounding Obama’s VP pick I haven’t been paying attention to McCain’s dilemma. And, boy does he have a problem. Correction: Problems.
Romney? Out of the running when it comes to Evangelicals.
Ridge? Pro-lifers don’t want him and NARAL warns that Ridge won’t help soften McCain’s stance on women’s rights. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Seems the only thing these two groups have in common is their distrust of McCain.
Pawlenty? Last weeks glowing praise for the Obama campaign seems to have killed his chances.
Huckabee? Too populist for conservatives? Too Evangelical for liberals?
Jindal? Too young? Too exorcist-y?
Lieberman? Too Linda Tripp-ish?
Let’s face it. The Republicans don’t have a VP problem. They have a Presumptive Nominee problem. McCain’s resume is simply too full of holes for one VP to fill.
Any suggestions?
