The Gender of VP Selection

It's VP time. Both candidates are deep into the necessary polling, research and vetting of potential sidekicks for their Whitehouse run. I believe it is highly likely that one or both of the candidates will choose a woman. If Obama doesn't choose Hillary he will likely pay a high price with the party loyalists. If he does choose her he will likely hurt himself among the Independents. McCain on the other hand has little to lose and almost everything to gain by adding a respected, articulate woman to the ticket. There are only a handful with the party credentials as well as the necessary resume that fit the bill. I personally like Kay Bailey Hutchison for the slot. There are both positives and negatives from the perspective of voter dynamics. It will be interesting to watch.
