2008 ticket
Have you ever looked at one of the maps of county-by-county Primary Vote Results? They tell the story very clearly.
1) Huckabee dominated the rural areas.
2) McCain dominated the urban areas.
3) Romney competed with McCain for the urban areas and couldn't even touch the rural areas.
Between the 3 of them, the 2 who would complement each other the best is McCain and Huckabee. e.g. Missouri

As an added bonus, Clinton voters will be easier to "pick off" this election, so McCain would be wise pick someone who is strong in her geographical areas. If you look, you will see that Obama and Clinton shared the same dynamic. Clinton dominated the rural areas and Obama took the urban areas.
It should be very obvious. If McCain picks Huckabee, HE WILL DEFINITELY WIN.
This story is getting a lot of attention today. It seems that everyone is trying to pick McCain's VP these days. Myself included. Romney said yesterday on Sean Hannity's radio show that he believes there are about 20 people on McCains list. With the election 8 months away and McCain having wrapped up the nomination, there are only a few more surprises left on the schedule. That excludes pending devastating revelations about the candidates that will surely be exposed in the following months leading up to the general election. :)
