Manchin Veep Talk Persists

Gov. Joe Manchin rounds out a roster of possible Democratic running mates compiled by The Associated Press.

With both parties' nominees "certain to come from the Senate," the article operates under the premise that "the nation's governors seem a ready pool of would-be vice presidential candidates who could provide management experience lacking at the top of each ticket."

The article also includes GOP options. As for Manchin, the article said:

This first term governor, 60, is popular in the state, and could help put a state that Bush won twice into the Democratic column. He is known nationally for his legislative efforts following several deadly mine accidents.

Manchin is automatically disqualified from the national ticket for the Democratic party because he is pro-life. When was the last time a pro-life Democrat was even allowed to address the national convention, much less run for VP?
