Now they’re pouring cold water on McCain veep pick for this week

I’ve been watching the cable blab shows tonight, and now the pundits are saying they don’t think McCain will pick a veep candidate this week. They seem to think that the initial speculation, fueled by a Bob Novak column, is overrated, or something thrown out by McCain’s campaign to take media coverage off of Obama.
They are saying on a CNN panel that McCain would be better advised to pick a veep after the Democratic convention, when the GOP will know who Obama’s veep will be.
Some more specualtion from the pundits on McCain veep maybes: Tim Pawlenty, governor of Minnesota, Carly Fiorina. former head of HP.

I’m relieved. Yes, I can see where Bobby Jindal would be an excellent choice because of his youth, background and appeal to the constituencies that haven’t quite warmed to McCain yet (e.g. social conservatives).
However, I would hate to see Jindal taken away from Louisiana just as he’s making great strides in ending the endemic corruption that has plagued their state. If he can succeed there, maybe there’s still hope for Illinois someday!

Maybe we canvince Jindal to move to Illinois and run for governor, seeing as we don’t really have one.
