| Description | Lots of writers enjoy speculating on vice presidential possibilities (myself included). As a result, we get maddeningly long lists of potential running mates which might very well bear little resemblance to the actual short lists of the candidates. So, for the sake of everyone's sanity, I'd like to do the exact opposite: speculate on who won't get picked.
Here are 28 governors who absolutely, positively won't be running mates this year. Probably.
Truth be told, it's been so long since a sitting governor ended up as a running mate (the last one was Spiro Agnew in 1968) that it's hard to know what standards John McCain, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton will use. But, because McCain, Obama and Clinton are all U.S. senators, there's a good chance that 40-year drought will end, thanks to the irresistible force of vice presidential selection: balance. |
