mccain is in a tough spot - he's got to pick who would be more valuable. I'd say Romney since he can bring in a lot of money and would help deliver a battleground state like Michigan where's popular.
jindal is another good choice but he's got no experience.

Romney is his best option. He might pick Pawlenty, but that's one boring arse ticket. Plus, I've read where Pawlenty sometimes says stupid things. McLame is already incoheret at times, so I'm not sure that'd be a good match. Sarah Palin is another option that might help McLame. She's very conservative, popular, a governor, and would move to court the soccer moms that are pissed about Hillary. I'm not sure how ready for primetime she is, or whether or not such a choice would deliver anything substantive to the ticket. To me, McLame has a difficult decision, since he himself doesn't excite anyone, and therefore will piss of certain groups with whomever it is he picks. Were I McLame though, I'd have Romney at the top. He'd add a little energy to a boring candidate.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
