I keep hearing all these names of little-known governors being mentioned as potential running mates for Sen. John McCain, but why isn't anyone talking about Ron Paul as vice president on the GOP ticket?Despite scant finances and a near total shutout by the mainstream media, Ron Paul has reached millions of voters with his grassroots campaign. And this just in: Ron Paul has reached the No. 1 spot on the New York Times Best Seller List.
Ron Paul's newest book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto," has been selling lots of copies since its release on April 30. The book is also the best-selling political tome on Amazon.com.
McCain should give Ron Paul serious consideration for the VP slot. Ron Paul could deliver a lot of independent and Libertarian voters to the GOP, especially against a far-left Democrat like Barack Obama. Did you read the latest column by liberal icon Nat Hentoff about how extremist Obama is on the abortion issue. It takes a lot for Hentoff to call a fellow liberal extremist, but he does in "Infanticide candidate for president."
And speaking of Obama, Fred Barnes, writing at National Review, floats the idea of an Obama-Ed Rendell ticket for the Democrats.

Won't happen. If McCain's strength is on national security issues, having a national ticket heading in two different directions will give us the worst of both worlds.
Scant finances???? Since when is over 34 million dollars considered scant?
