The political conventions are about to start, as soon as the Olympics are over, and it's time for the candidates to announce their choices for the VP slot. In fact, Obama might make his choice known tomorrow.
It appears that it will be either Joe Biden, the Senator from Delaware with much foreign policy experience, or Tim Kaine, the Governor of Virginia. Other than coming from Delaware, with only 3 delegates and already a Democratic state, everything seems to favor Biden. Which means it will be Kaine.
McCain has a problem. He can pick the best candidate, Romney, or pick someone who will make the Christian conservatives happy. They don't like Mormons so Romney would be risky. Since the Republican convention begins after the Democrats, McCain can wait to see who Obama chooses. Given McCain's age, picking someone who is ready to be President is a factor he must consider.
Candidates for Vice President don't usually win elections, but they can lose them, Dan Quayle and Joe Leiberman are perfect examples.
