A McCain VP prediction

If Obama doesn't pick a female vice president then I predict that McCain will go with Meg Whitman. Whitman is a co-chair of McCain's campaign and was the long time president of eBay. Her advantages to McCain:

1) Most voters would believe she has a tremendous understanding of the economy.

2) For silly reasons, eBay is considered to be a "good business" as opposed to energy or finance companies.

3) She is a billionaire and could raise lots of cash for Republicans and so reverse the Democrats' current financial advantage

4) As a woman she might pick up disappointed Hillary voters.

5) Anyone who criticized her could be accused of being sexist.
