Pence on McCain, Conservatism

Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, a rising star in the conservative movement, made some comments about the McCain campaign today on Fox News Sunday:



Pence's name has been floated by some as a potential Vice Presidential pick for John McCain. The upsides to such a pick are obvious. Pence has conservative credentials with both fiscal conservatives and social conservatives, he is well spoken, articulate and telegenic. Plus he adds a youthful feel to a ticket that is likely to battle Mr. Youthy himself.

The downside to this pick is it makes the ticket legislator-heavy and lacking executive experience.
