Presidential Campaign Predictions

I like theorizing about the outcome of events, kind of a pastime of mine, and the presidential campaign is no different.

Prediction: John McCain will choose Mitt Romney as his running mate.
Did anyone else find it strange that Mitt Romney dropped out so quickly from the race? Yes he was behind and his chances of winning were dwindling, but like the smart business man he is he knew when to cut his loses at the right time. The right time to drop out while his name was still in the papers, and with a lot of conservatives backing him. And what do all the news publications say McCain needs to win? Conservatives, and Romney has them, and rugged good looks and youth that McCain does not have. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Romney endorsing McCain in the next few weeks.

Prediction: Barack Obama will tap Edwards for his running mate.
John Edwards, a major voice for the poor and for those who do not have a voice. Barack Obama, voice of the middle class and African Americans. Combine the two and what do you get? An unstoppable team of youth and change. Barack Obama was recently criticized for his admiration on the Reagan era republicans, stating that the republicans of that time were the party of ideas. Sounds like Obama is trying to make the democratic party under his leadership the new party of ideas and who again to better suit that idea? John Edwards.
