Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime would have been an excellent choice as Vice President. Not only would he single-handedly clinch the niche group of comic book reading voters, but he would bring a strong presence to his campaign. Optimus Prime has great foreign policy and military experience from battling the Decepticons for the all-spark for so long. Now that Shia LeBouf is safe and the all-spark is destroyed he can focus on a political career.

Christopher Walken

Another person John McCain should have considered is Christopher Walken. If one were to speculate why McCain would pick Christopher Walken, the main reason would be "because he is Christopher Walken, that's why". Does he have any foreign policy experience? Yes. He is Christopher Walken. Would he be fit to run this nation in a time of crisis? Again, yes. And we all know why.

Walter Sobchak

A great candidate for the GOP's VP spot is Walter Sobchak. Walter is not only a party loyal, but also appeals to Jewish voters because among other things, he doesn't roll on Shabbas. Walter would bring a plethora of military experience to a ticket with plenty of it. However, his no nonsense approach to...more or less everything would have made him a valuable addition to the McCain campaign. 

Willford Brimley

Wilford Brimely would have been a far better choice for VP than perhaps anyone else on this list. Mr. Brimley is not only a well-known Republican and a famed actor but he is a major health care advocate. As you may have noticed, Mr. Brimely has been speaking publically about a new disease called "diabeetus". Though little is know about this mysterious illness, Mr. Brimley has worked hard to let people know that "If you call Liberty Medical, you can live a normal life." His nomination would bring much relief to those who think that the GOP ticket needs more of a boost in the health care department.

Sarah Connor

Personally if I were John McCain, and I wanted to appeal to female voters, I would have definitely chosen Sarah Connor over Sarah Palin. This Sarah is not only a good mother, but she brings a lot of sound judgement and military experience to the ticket. In the event that highly advanced cybernetic robots travel back in time to attack this nation, Sarah Connor will be ready. Having her as Vice President would definitely raise the American people's awareness of robotic soldiers from the future, something that in an age of ever evolving technology is VERY important.

As you can see, these are just a few people who would bring more support to an unstable GOP ticket. Where Sarah Palin makes up for in personality and presence, she lacks more or less in everything else. I am sure there are many more candidates who would bring more to the table. Until next time...
