Vice Presidents have limited responsibility and carry the burdens of their President.
A VP Candidate well versed in economics, social issues, and foreign policy would be ideal.
A VP Candidate not of the Senate is necessary so that McCain isn't playing favorites.
That leave's Governors, Congressmen, and former Cabinet Officials.
A woman or minority is more useful politically, but such an individual is not prevalent in the Republican Party at present.
A Crossover Candidate would not go down well with the Base and it might tear the party apart.
A younger candidate would be preferable so as to bring in new blood to the Republican Party.
A CEO has no business in government after what I have seen with Cheney.
It would serve McCain well if picked someone from the West Coast, Industrial Midwest, or Florida.
Someone who is not a Southerner or Rocky Mountain State since he will have most of those states locked up.
Someone who can bring in personnel for the administration if he win's.
