My thoughts
First I am not buying the VP person is not on this list!!

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has a great spot IMHO and should be viewed by a lot of folks

I think putting Senator Lieberman is a odd and a bad position. We need to embrace the fact and make it a compelling sotry that the MAN THE DEMS PUT UP AS VP JUST 8 YEARS AGO IS ENDORSING McCAIN and SPEAKING AT A REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Does anyone recall how great Democrat Zell Miller's speech was 4 years ago as he backed Bush?

Just think he needs to elsewhere where he has more effect

I am very pleased that one of the leding Catholics in the Senate , Senator Brownback) will be showcased on what will be a big viewer night with McCain speaking
