GOP Veepstakes Version 2.0

John McCain still has time to decide, so here's my new predictions so he doesn't have to think about it any further:

Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney: 2-1 (Best choice to reinvigorate the conservative crowd)

La. Gov. Bobby Jindal: 3-1 (GOP heavyweights are busy hyping him something fierce)

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty: 4-1 (Still plenty of buzz, but what does he add geographically?)

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist: 6-1 (Doing everything in his power to boost profile, including getting married — to a woman, no less)

Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani: 8-1 (A 'thank-you' gift from McCain for helping him secure the nomination?)

Former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee: 10-1 (Now working as a contributor for Fox News, which should destroy any credibility a politician [or journalist] has left)

US Senator Jim DeMint: 12-1 (Who?)

Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice: 20-1 (Can she point to any single success as Secretary of State?)

Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr: 30-1 (Poor man's Mitt Romney — meh)

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: 40-1 (You know how much McCain likes younger women)

Actor Fred Thompson: 50-1 (Another GOP stalwart who likes 'em young)

Former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush: 50-1 (Pretty certain he can't be worse than his brother[s])

Cyclist Lance Armstrong: 100-1 (Someone the late, great George Carlin could do without)
