WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Republican John McCain praised Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, a potential running mate, as they campaigned together Thursday, although he sidestepped questions about a vice presidential choice.
During his first campaign appearance since clinching the GOP presidential nomination, McCain said he has not even begun looking at vice presidential candidates.
"You know, obviously, we have just begun that process, and we, in fact, have not even outlined how we're going to go about this," McCain said at a news conference after he and Crist shook hands with people at a local diner. "We're looking at how the process was conducted by other candidates and nominees of their party.
"But I know one thing about Governor Crist," he added. "And that is that he is a great governor. He does a great job. And I think that ... there are many ways for him to serve the country."
Crist, 51, is among more than a half-dozen politicians mentioned as a potential running mate. His last-minute endorsement of McCain is credited with helping McCain win the Jan. 29 Florida primary.
"The process is really open," McCain said of his search. "But I know that Governor Crist will continue to serve this country in many respects in the future. He's still a very young man."

If you mix them together, it would look like a normal white guy.

CC was sad that he couldn't stand behind John McCain Tuesday night during the victory speech and get into the shot.

"He does a great job" - What has he accomplished besides photo ops??
Anyone??
My property taxes did not drop like a rock, they went up, just like my homeowner's insurance.
Thank you for "fixing" our state's problems while the rest of us who actually work suffers.

He has everything going for him. First the hair and the tan. Then the job, now the babe. Veep? Maybe!

Carole Rome will be dropping her husband like a rock if Cristi gets the VP nod.

I will not vote for a President who chooses as his VP, a person who knows not where his office is, thinks the economy is hunky-dory, and pimps $240 as a job well done.

McAmnesty/McFraud ’08 … I think NOT!

Caption contest for the look on Charlie's face...

“Is that a Floridian waving that foreclosure notice at me?”

“He big fella; if you call John a diaper wearing, geriatric buffoon again… well… I just might have to call someone to… ummm… you know, pinch you or something. I do like your wife’s blouse though!”

Caption:

“Don’t mess with me… I was once a bouncer for a Hanna Montana concert!”

Caption:

“Did that guy just call me Mrs. McCain? .. do-do-head; I have tighter skin, a thinner waist, and a better tan! Besides, I bet I get a spot on Dancing With The Stars before she does… God I hate women… they’re so dirty, ewwwww”

"But, I thought we were going 'no jacket' today.."

I will not vote Hillary nor Obama.

You snubbed us, we snub you.

McCain gets my vote in November.

No caption, it was just timing... the picture was taken right after McCain said... "Charlie, you will never be my running mate"

6:22 I'm with you. I've tired of being snubbed, ever since our little guy disappeared on us in '45 and the whole 1000 year thing came crashing down.

"A funny thing happened to me on the way to the election...I picked up a lot of hot young groupies who are following me everywhere. Take my friend Charlie here...Please."
