More Veepstakes, this time from Hewitt
From Townhall:
If this turns out to be the actual shortlist and not just some trial balloon, it tells me that McCain is prioritizing the EV map over other issues in picking his VP. Mitt (MI, NV), Portman (OH), Cantor (VA), and Ridge (PA) all could affect key swing states.
Mike Allen of Politico.com just told me that indeed retired USMC General Anthony Zinni is near the top of the Obama list, and that there are four on the McCain list: Romney at the top, with Rob Portman, Eric Cantor and Tom Ridge also in the hunt.

Well, Mitt's good for three reasons, as we've discussed before. One, he immediately energizes conservative base. Two, he provides a pop in swing states noted by Fredo. Three, he could start skewering Obama's poor ideas on economy. Economy is clearly #1 issue in this campaign, and if Mitt can get in front of Obama on this issue he has a chance to convince people that he and McCain are the best bet to turn the economy around.
My only hope is that if Obama wins this year, Jindal can out-Obama Obama in 2012.
