McCain selecting who runs America after he falls, breaks hip
John McCain met with three potential vice-presidential candidates in Sedona this weekend: former rival Mitt Romney, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, and Florida governor Charlie Crist. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is reportedly pushing wife Hillary on Barack Obama's campaign. Others rumored to be on Obama's short list include Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius, Virginia Senator Jim Webb and New Mexico governor Bill Richardson.
Who are all these unvetted nominees and what kind of voters will they bring to their ticket? 23/6 breaks it down.
