Thoughts on the Vice Presidential Ticket in Election 2008 following the Florida GOP Primary
After the results tonight from the GOP Primary in Florida, I’m curious who will be on the respective Democratic and GOP tickets:
Chris Matthews suggested the possibility of a McCain and Huckabee ticket to secure the Southern vote. I tend to agree. GOP strategists will conclude that Romney would give up too much of the Southern vote and be too polarizing and will encounter resistance from swing voters and independents.
On the Democratic side, the evidence suggest the ticket will likely be Clinton/Obama, Obama/Clinton, or Obama/Edwards. I wonder who will get the nod and how the vote (and consequent national conversation) will shape out for evangelicals.
Will McCain win? Who will win for the Dems? So who will win the Presidential and VP nominations? How will it effect the national discourse? Will this election season go down to the wire, particularly on the Democratic camp?
Consider Mel Martinez or Charlie Christ. Both will help secure Florida for GOP. Both are relatively young and Martinez is a Hispanic……and both are partially responsible for McC win in FL which may be the begining of the end for every other presidential candidate.
The south is solid GOP, except for VA which is turning increasingly democratic….
Interesting perspective. Dollars to donuts, I think the Dems will take more of the South this year than the GOP.
think Huckabee is the only way for the GOP to have a chance in the South. Mitt just doesn’t have what it takes…
