McCain Announces Running Mate Today

GOP Presidential contender John McCain is set to announce his running mate today.

While campaign staffers have been tight-lipped about McCain's choice, the rumor-mill has been ablaze with speculation as to the person who has been chosen.

McCain's top picks are former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, and even former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Also mentioned as possibilities are Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.

Many speculators believe McCain's choice to be Governor Pawlenty.

Such a choice would not be difficult to understand. McCain needs the bounce in the Great Lakes states that a popular GOP governor would bring him.

He could do much worse. And Pawlenty would be acceptable to the GOP conservative base.
