McCain to Shoot For VP Gold?
As the speculation over whom Arizona Sen. John McCain will pick as his vice presidential running mate winds down, a surprising dark horse is emerging as a real contender for the prize.
“A national hero on the ticket would help McCain out immensely,” said one RNC staffer. “Who’s the latest American hero, the man whose hard work and perseverance have most recently shown the American can-do spirit? The golden boy himself, Michael Phelps.”
McCain campaign officials acknowledge that they have cast their vetting nets ever wider over the past couple of weeks, asking for documentation from the likes of Ed McMahon, Chuck Norris, Tony Stewart, and Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps. Of this group, Phelps is seen as having the best shot, based both on leaks from the campaign as well as glowing praise heaped on the young swimmer from the candidate himself.
