John McCain Watch: Kay Bailey Hutchison for Vice President Part Three – The Chatter

After Hillary Clinton’s speech last night at the Democrat National Convention and recent polling suggesting female dissatisfaction with Barack Obama’s failure to select Hillary as his running mate have led to increasing speculation that John McCain may be considering Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison as his Vice President.

Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s long-shot prospect for vice president is getting a push from conservative and other pundits in the lead-up to next week’s Republican National Convention.

The latest flurry of speculation online and on cable television constitutes at least a third or fourth wave of chatter about Hutchison, whose name surfaces occasionally as a possible Republican vice-presidential candidate.

Hutchison, a delegate to next week’s convention, will address the gathering in Minneapolis-St. Paul on the subject of energy independence on Sept. 3, her office announced Tuesday.

The conventional wisdom at this time points to a Mitt Romney selection (Flap feels unfortunately) but if McCain wants to shake up the election and REALLY take an advantage into the fall, he should consider Hutchison and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

This would be a signal to American women that McCain and the Republican Party take their political aspirations seriously. Certainly, this would be a way to sway disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters and independents – constituencies the GOP needs to win.

Stay tuned……
