I know this is a long blog entry, but I feel Former Senator John Breaux would be the best VP choice to defeat Obama/Biden in November.

As someone who strongly supports Senator John McCain’s bid for the presidency, I want to enumerate the many reasons why he should choose former Louisiana Senator John Breaux as his Vice President choice. This is a long letter, but I hope it lays out a comprehensive rationale for a McCain/Breaux ticket.

1. Senator Breaux would be a transformative pick.

Senator Obama talks a lot about his new style of politics and “bringing the country together.” As the 2008 election has unfolded, Senator Obama has shown who he truly is—a brass knuckle Chicago politician with an unyielding liberal record. Already we are seeing the American public sour on Senator Obama. With the pick of Senator Joe Biden, Senator Obama has proven that he does not want to change the Washington establishment—instead he merely wants to accommodate it.

The pick of Senator Biden gives John McCain a golden opportunity to dramatically change the calculus of this election. Senator Biden does not help Senator Obama in very many states and his loudmouth antics may very well come back to haunt the Obama Campaign. Even the latest Rasmussen Poll about Senator Biden shows that the Senator from Delaware is not very popular nationwide.

Still, for John McCain to capitalize on the Biden pick, he must pick someone who will essentially change the election narrative. One possible Vice President choice does that: former Louisiana Senator John Breaux.
