Since the McCain VP pick is getting close, why don’t we put our cards on the table and take our guesses about who it’s going to be? The winner gets…. well, nothing. Other than the pride of being right.

Seems Teresita has already gone and picked Lieberman (you have the right to change this T, I don’t want to speak for you).

I’m going to say I want Palin, but I think it’s going to be Huckabee. I have a feeling the “seven or eight houses” bit has put a scare into Team McCain and they want a guy with middle-class cred, not another rich dude like Romney. Plus, he will pull the Evangelicals, who are getting softer in terms of their Republican support. He’s a good talker, he can be funny, he’s likeable. Even the media seems to like him, but that’s because they know he’s really a pro-life Democrat (though of course they will shred him if he’s going up against The One).

I have a feeling Huck fits the profile of what Team McCain thinks they need to — shudder — “balance the ticket.”

And it won’t help. Huckabee will be painted instantly as a hillbilly, god-lovin’ gay-hating freak by the media. He will get Quayled, and BHO goes on to win.
