I think a VP choice can hurt a candidate but can in no way help them. That is a widely held view. The key evidence against it is Kennedy carrying Texas after picking LBJ. No LBJ and Nixon would have won in 1960. I think Romney might be the difference in Michigan and in Nevada for McCain.

He's far from perfect but I'd vote for him again without hesitation. Sounds like he is no Mondale. <g>

A VP choice will help McCain. He's old and voters will need to see who's next in line. Conversely, a VP choice can only hurt The Messiah. Sharing a bumper sticker with a mere mortal is humanizing.
