Obama may pick Evan Bayh from Indiana

McCain may decide to go with a Christian Conservative to make those those who do not feel he is to the "Right" enough or Conservative happy

I disagree. I think McCain is more likely to distance himself from the far right. The general election is, after all, usually a 'race to the center.' Independents, who will decide this election, don't care much about the Evangelical social agenda. They care about the economy. McCain needs to find himself an economy man.

But if he distances himself from the Far Right, don't you think that could cost him the election? (not sure he will beat Obama no matter who he chooses,but that is just my opinion)

He also can't with without independents. Where is the right going to go, if not to McCain? It's the same reason Obama voted for the FISA compromise and has now considered offshore drilling. It's all about winning the center.
