McCain's VP Decision Still Vital

As we have seen the spotlight on Barack Obama following his monumental win and the concession of Hillary Clinton, we cannot forget about John McCain. His decision as to which running mate will be chosen is just as important in order to give him a strong campaign. While Obama's upcoming decision has been viewed as a make or break moment for the democratic party, McCain's will still be an intriguing one for the upcoming election.

Many people have firm beliefs that McCain needs to choose someone young and charismatic with a strong conservative base (something McCain has received flack over), as well as significant party recognition. While several people have inferred the likes of Charlie Crist for the job, he lacks this very need for someone who is fiscally conservative to the ticket. Fortunately, there are possible candidates to fit this very profile, and it could very well be Minnesota Governor, Tim Pawlenty, or South Carolina's Mark Sanford.

However, other Republicans wish for McCain to choose a candidate that was previously part of the Republican race, such as Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney. Mike Huckabee could add possible value by drawing in the evangelicals, although his economic track record isn't too glamorous. Mitt Romney on the other hand, could add value because of his experience as a CEO, which gives him an economic edge over others. The reason for this is many of these former Presidential hopefuls have strong points that McCain seems to lack, and they could help bring balance to the Republican party and make the campaign stand even stronger.
