Townhall reports its Romney, Pawlenty, and Lieberman. 

I know how you feel about Romney, we both would hate Lieberman being picked.  Pawlenty is fine, but what about Palin? 

A vice president who is a good looking smart conservative female who can also bait a hook is tops for me.

Smith, I believe, is a decorated veteran of Viet Nam (and legend has it his business plan for FedEx got a C in a Harvard MBA class).

McCain/Lieberman would look like the social committee at the local nursing home, what a tremendously bad idea.

I can see the Dem ads now:

Bad and Pawlenty…

A pro choice pick like Lieberman would be a mistake, but what if McCain could convince Powell to come on.  Powell is completely outsville with Bush-Cheney, has been vindicated on his position about the war, and is presumably a moderate pro life republican. 

For all we know Powell may show up in Denver today, and I recognize this is very much a long shot, but it would be interesting.

I’d really like to see McCain think a little out of the box.  Please not Romney; please not Lieberman.  Why not someone from outside public life?  What happened to the Meg Whitman idea?
