Pick 'Em: McCain's Choice

RISING ROMNEY?

Springfield Republican Steve Robinette and Missouri State University Professor Eric Morris both believe Mitt Romney's odds at winning the number two slot are considerable.

MY TAKE: McCain's Prospects:

Sen. Joe Lieberman/Tom Ridge = THE HAIL MARY PASS

Mitt Romney = THE POLITICAL PICK

Tim Pawlenty = SAFE & SECURE

Both Robinette and Morris also see big problems if McCain selected a abortion-rights supporter like Sen. Joe Lieberman or former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge. But if Lieberman is still in the running, why has Ridge been taken out of consideration?
