Kevin Tracy Nominates Bill Frist for McCain’s VP

By RP Staff | July 28, 2008

Kevin Tracy’s treatment of Bill Frist in this post is rather amusing.  I agree with Kevin that Frist, or anyone else would be a better VP selection for McCain than Mitt Romney, but am unconvinced whether Frist has the fire that McCain’s campaign needs to put up a good fight in this race.  I’m convinced that if McCain is going to dip into the senate to choose a running mate then he should go with South Dakota’s John Thune.  That said, Tracy is correct in putting forth Frist as someone with enough of a bi-partisan streak that it might remind some voters of why they used to admire John McCain.  He’s wealthy enough to inject his own funds into the campaign, and is a shrewder campaign manager than Romney.  Unfortunately, that wealth may also prove a stigma in these uncertain economic times.  

Still, do you think Tracy has a point, is Bill Frist a viable republican VP candidate?
