Why Not Rudy For McCain's VP?

By Big Tent Democrat

Here I go again giving McCain advice, but I have been struck by the fact that in all the McCain VP talk no one has mentioned Rudy Giuliani. Heck, I heard them talking about Bloomberg today, but not Rudy. I figure that folks think McCain has to have an anti-choice VP but does that hold true for Rudy? No one thought it was going to kill Rudy's chances when he was running for President. In fact, Rudy got the good housekeeping approval from a lot of evangelicals. His problems were different.

If Obama is the Dem nominee, won't McCain be able to buttress his shots at Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and even New Jersey with Rudy as his running mate?

Maybe I am crazy but I think given the way the map is shaping up, Rudy could make the most sense for McCain. And it is striking to me the no one seems to be talking about him.

POSTSCRIPT - People are mentioning Colin Powell and if he would take it then it is a no brainer imo. He broke with the Bush Administration (too late of course) and is greatly respected despite his failures. But my understanding is he would never ever accept it.

By Big Tent Democrat, speaking for me, and as a political pundit. only. I detest Rudy Giuliani.
