On Nov. 10, while traveling through New Hampshire on his Straight Talk Express bus, McCain was asked what he would seek in a vice presidential candidate if nominated. After mentioning the ability of a potential running mate to replace the president, McCain said, "You also look for people who maybe have talents you don't, or experience or knowledge you don't, as well." "What are those qualities that you don't - that you wouldn't mind complementing?" asked David Brooks, a columnist for The New York Times. McCain paused. "Uh, maybe I shouldn't say this, but, somebody who's really well grounded in economics," he said. "I think I understand the fundamentals, I talk to people all the time on economics - it's obviously a vital part of America's future," McCain continued. "But I know there are some people who have literally immersed themselves on issues of economics, how Congress works on it, the tax code, that sort of thing. I would look for that kind of talent not in a vice president but in close advisers." "They are complicated," McCain said of economic issues, "and I freely admit I am not an economist." Palin is well grounded in economics..WOW!!!!!!!!!!
