I believe Senator McCain will choose former Governor Mitt Romney because of his experience with managing and the economy, something Senator McCain lacks in both the reality and the public mind.
I believe Senator Obama will choose Senator Jack Reed. Senator Reed has military and foreign policy experience which Senator Obama lacks.
My own choice for McCain would be Senator Chuck Hagel or Senator Richard Lugar. Both have common sense and political and foreign policy experience. They would bring some sanity to McCain's know-it-all attitude.
My own choice for Obama would be General Wesley Clark, Senator Jim Webb, or Senator Hillary Clinton. I once wanted to see Senator Joe Biden as VP, but now feel that he would be more valuable as Secretary of State in an Obama administration. Clark and Webb have military experience and although Clinton does not, she has the overall experience to make a difference.
If I had to pick a potential surprise, a wildcard if you will, I would go with Senator Lindsay Graham for McCain and Governor Ed Rendell or former Senator Sam Nunn for Obama.
Whoever Obama and McCain choose, however, lets just hope the next President does not choose another Dick Cheney type. Only time will tell.
