JOHN McCAIN: A WARRIOR AT HEART

Who could be his vice president?

Published on: 03/09/08

The choice of a running mate is one of the most important decisions for a presidential candidate. The right one can compensate for perceived gaps in background, experience and geography.

Being selected as a vice-presidential nominee increases the chances of later winning the party's presidential nomination. Several governors have been mentioned as potential running mates for McCain.
