McCain's Momentous Memorial Day
Sure - the upcoming Arizona visit by Romney, Crist, and Jindal is purely social. Yep. Uh huh.
Which man will he pick? Remember, Lindsay Graham and Joe Lieberman will be present as well.
What do I think is the politically savvy pick for McCain?
Go with Jindal. Jindal all the way.
Bobby Jindal is, pure and simple, worth talking about. He brings the ticket intellectual heft, diversity, youth, unique, unorthodox strength in a key region, and even some experience. He stands to inject the GOP with some Obamic qualities. It's the gamble McCain needs to make right now, as I've discussed.
When the Democrats coalesce again around a single nominee, McCain is going to need an X-factor to make his candidacy and his ticket worth talking about again - or, as I've said before, he'll face a Goldwater-style loss in the fall as the hard right stays home and independents cleave to Obama.
