McCain has made his veep choice apparently, and all the rumors surround the usual suspects: Romney, Pawlenty, (gulp) Lieberman, and Hutchison. An uninspiring pool, but Romney is the best of the bunch.

How about this for a risky move? Pick Bobby Jindal just as Hurrican Gustav moves on Louisiana. McCain comes before the convention saying, "Governor Jindal can't be here tonight, because he is helping the people of his home state." Great story, public service before politics, etc.

And hope Jindal does a good job, a better job than the motley crew of boobs who watched while Katrina leveled the Gulf.
