20 April 2008 - 19:36Follow up to V.P. possibilities

Due to the limitations of the print form of the Frontier Jeff and I were forced to cut the list of possible candidates down significantly. While many people are being thrown around as possibilities, including Tommy Franks among others.

Our short list included the 5 men and women discussed in the article, Jindal, Pawlenty, Sanford, Pence, and Hutchison. Also the following were, in our eyes, possible choices:Mitt Romney (R), Charlie Crist (R-FL), Rob Portman (R-OH), Haley Barbour (R-MS), Condoleezza Rice (R), Joe Lieberman (I-CN), Jim DeMint (R-SC), Fred Thompson (R), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)

Recently a list of 5 front runners was named by the campaign. Lieberman, Crist, Blackburn, Barbor and Pawlenty are there. Our list seems to be dead on here, we not only have all 5 the campaign has listed but we included the hot names like Condi that seem to pop up weekly reguardless of how much she denies.

Of course no one will admit they want it. Some dance gracefully around the question, like either Ms. Rice or Mrs. Hutchison, saying they do not want the position when asked. Others laugh off the question, as Mr. Jindal did, saying “He’s not going to ask me.” while modest it isn’t a no.

It will continue to all be speculation and guessing until the man himself decides.
