Has anyone really picked a President based on the VP candidate? Or for that matter, even voted against a party due to the VP choice? Maybe when Lyndon Johnson ran with John F Kennedy back in 1960. SInce that time, the VP is really an after thought. Heck, even Dan Qualye could not sink George the First’s run in 1988.
Who remembers Spiro Agnew? Or maybe Edmund Muskie? Uh, Sargent Shriver, William Miller, Frank Knox? Heck, most people probably don’t even know who Jack Kemp is. Did Al Gore help Clinton win in 1992, I would vote no. Did George H. W. Bush help Reagan, hmm, maybe…
So, leave me a comment with who you think the VP candidates will be. The first person that posts a comment with BOTH Democratic and Republican choice will get 500EC. I have the right to also award additional EC for particularly interesting choices; funny, inventive, etc.
My guess is:
Democrat - Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh
Republican - Florida Gov. Charlie Crist
Update 8/25/8
Biden is Obama’s choice, however we still do not know McCain’s pick. Place your vote, the first person to pick Biden and the eventual winner will win the 500EC.

Clinton and Romney are my guesses

Damit! I was just going to say Clinton and Romney.
Can we both win if we’re right?
Lets see… “The first person that posts a comment with BOTH Democratic and Republican choice will get 500EC” Nope, just the first, but as I said I have the right to give out more EC if I deem it worthy.
Joe Biden and Tom Ridge

Well I guess for this specific contest I will go with the media’s picks, Biden & Romney.
I always thought Obama might choose a woman (NOT CLINTON). But Biden is a good choice, and I think he is even better choice than Bayh. With McCain I will be shocked if he does choose Romney, I still think it will be Florida’s Governor.
The media really just loves to over hype this, as they really do not have much to talk about regarding the elections during the summer, but its just few days and the fall will come and we will see the real elections war.

Indiana Senator Bayh and Alaska Gov. Palin.
Obama needs someone to connect with poor whites, rural voters, and blue collar workers.
McCain needs someone young, articulate, domestic oriented, surprising (a woman), and who loves off-shore/arctic drilling.
