‘Special Report’ Panel Discusses Whether McCain’s Weekend…
FOXNews – May 23, 2008
HUME: Jeff your thoughts. JEFF BIRNBAUM COLUMNIST THE WASHINGTON POST: Well Mitt Romney is going to be there and I think he probably is on the short list — the former governor of Massachusetts.

TIM KAINE may bring in a Southern state was one of Obama’s earliest backers and Obama seems to enjoy being with him. Obama who has no military background is looking for Republicans and independent votes.
