While I also support Mitt Romney for McCain's VP pick, I think Meg Whitman would be another good pick (provided she's prolife). She was the CEO of eBay from March 1998 to March 2008. Why not someone from the business world? It would boslter McCain's business credentials and perhaps gain the support of women. Ebay is also a very accessible company. Negative attacks won't be very effective, as opposed if she was a CEO of a pharmaceutical company.
A more businesswomen who is more touted in the press is Carly Fiorina, the former head of HP. However, her tenure ended up with her being canned by the board. Rightly or wrongly, that firing would be plenty of ammunition for ads. Also, all the Democrats have to do is show the stock price chart:
Of course, other losing picks: Joe Lieberman, Tom Ridge, Charlie Crist.
