CQ Politics: McCain VP Madness
From Congressional Quarterly, vice-presidential pick brackets for politics geeks! :D
Who should be John McCain’s running mate? In our own version of the March Madness brackets, our team of political experts selected 32 possible nominees. We took into account many of the factors McCain will likely consider, such as national prominence, geographical and ideological balance, fundraising prowess, political strengths and fatal flaws. Now it’s up to you to decide who will advance to face each other in the next round. The winner will be revealed May 22. You’ll have a chance to weigh in on the Democratic ticket once the nominee is set.
Click to fill out a bracket, and you can also see how they came up with the picks (video).
UPDATE: If you can’t get enough of the speculation about McCain’s VP pick (which I can’t imagine will come before the Dems pick theirs), you can follow all the buzz at VP Watch, a blog run by the Club for Growth. Here’s a VP poll at ABC News found at VP Watch. Naturally, I ended up picking the guy with the fewest votes (Chris Cox). Oh well, nobody knows who he is, I guess.
