Will McCain Pick Kay Bailey Hutchison For VP?

Want a nightmare scenario? How about Kay Bailey Hutchison as McCain's VP? The rumor mill has started cranking that one out and it sounds plausible. Hutchison, Senator from Texas, has been seen with McCain at several events recently and tongues are waging about her possible future on the ticket. A woman would be seen a pandering by some but there might be enough stir to at least pick up votes from a few brain dead folks.

Hutchison has a straight Bush voting record that really makes McCain look like a maverick, even thoug in the past year he has been 100% behind Bush. She is the senator from my district and no matter what I write her on I get a pre-printed reply that has little to do with my question. Hutchison is at the center of a small scandal in the Steven Payne ruckus. That might make her hard to vet, along with the many connections of her husband in the paving and infrastructure of Texas. Contracts etc. have always been suspect.

My hope is that her aspirations to be governor of Texas will outweigh any failed run for VP with McCain.
