Chris Cillizza’s ‘The Fix’ Blog at the Washington Post has moved on to considering the most-likely vice-presidential candidates with: The Line on Running Mates
As Super Tuesday draws ever closer, the fields for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations have narrowed significantly. [snip] With such a narrow field, it seems pointless to continue the presidential Line. [snip] Although neither party has settled on a nominee just yet, the speculation about who will be No. 2 on the ticket has already begun in earnest.
If John McCain is the Republican presidential nominee, ‘The Fix’ proposes former Gov. Mike Huckabee, Gov. Tim Pawlenty (MN), Gov. Mark Sanford (SC) or Sen. John Thune (SD) as his running mate.
If Mitt Romney is the Republican presidential nominee, ‘The Fix’ proposes Gov. Don Carcieri (RI), Gov. Mark Sanford (SC) or former Sen. Jim Talent (MO) as his running mate.
If Hillary Clinton is the Democratic presidential nominee, ‘The Fix’ proposes former Gov. and current Sen. Evan Bayh (IN), former Sen. John Edwards, Gov. Bill Richardson (NM), Gov. Ted Strickland (OH) or former Gov. Tom Vilsack (IA) as her running mate.
If Barack Obama is the Democratic presidential nominee, ‘The Fix’ proposes former Sen. Tom Daschle (SD), former Sen. John Edwards, Gov. Tim Kaine (VA), Sen. Claire McCaskill (MO) or Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (KS) as his running mate.
