McCain's VP

Ronald Kessler's newest article presents an interesting idea: no vice presidential candidate will deliver the election for McCain.

According to Ken Khachigian, a highly respected Republican strategist who was Ronald Reagan’s chief speechwriter and a speechwriter for Richard Nixon, “So instead of looking for someone who fits a series of benchmarks, he ought to be looking for someone who’s not going to do damage to his ticket." Khachigian believes, “When mid-October comes around, I guarantee you people are not going to be voting for a vice president, or focusing on a vice president, unless that candidate is a problem.”

Personally I do believe that the VP candidate will make a big difference, but we shall see what happens this coming Fall.
