McCain to Host Possible VP's at His Arizona Home

But an aide says it's "purely social".

Oh, pul-leeze... why in the world would Senator John McCain be hosting these three particular men, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, unless he was "getting to know them" so he could begin the process of choosing a running mate?

Any of the three, plus any of the others on the list I previously posted, would be excellent choices...at least on the surface. I'm not getting into the why's and wherefore's of who McCain should choose (Huckabee), that's for another post.

I guess it's all part and parcel of politics that an aide would put forth the "purely social" nonsense. Is this what we can expect in the event McCain is elected? More subterfuge? Out and out lies? Come on, at least be believable.

How about...they're here to discuss...hurricanes and FEMA response to said hurricanes. All three are from states that can be hit by hurricanes. Or that they are getting advice from McCain on running for the Senate or even that they are starting a Republican prayer circle. Any would be more believable than that the visit is "purely social."

Give me a break.
