Bush-? Could pick New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman, expanding his base (but upsetting pro-lifers). Or Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania. McCain’s said he’ll refuse.
McCain-? He’s close to the Doles - could he pick Liddy? He’s also mentioned Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee.
Gore-? Sen. Dianne Feinstein could help win California. New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen is a dark horse. Bradley’s said no, but don’t rule it out.
Bradley-? He needs a Southern moderate for balance. Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia is a friend.
Dream Picks: Elizabeth Dole has wide appeal. Colin Powell’s the holy grail, but likely won’t do it. Bradley-McCain (or vice versa)? The all-authenticity ticket.
