Vp Rankings Massachusetts

Massachusetts Democrats
Deval Patrick: Gov, Ranking: 3, A first term Governor who has not had the greatest first year in office.
Ted Kennedy: Sen, Ranking: 1, The list is too long to post.
John Kerry: Sen, Ranking: 3, His career in national politics is over.
John Olver: Rep MA-1, Ranking: 4, First elected in 1990, and is a bit on the old side (71), but has not done enough to warrant a spot on the ticket.
Richard Neal: Rep MA-2, Ranking: 4, No real benefit as VP pick.
Jim McGovern: Rep MA-3, Ranking: 4, Too outspoken on foreign policy matters to be a good pick.
Barney Frank: Rep MA-4, Ranking: 2, America is not ready for a gay VP.
Niki Tsongas: Rep MA-5, Ranking: 2, Freshman.
John Tierney: Rep MA-6, Ranking: 4, I think it is safe to say Obama won't pick someone from MA.
Ed Markey: Rep MA-7, Ranking: 4, I've got nothing.
Mike Capuano: Rep MA-8, Ranking: 4, Maybe I shouldnt have done every member of Congress.
Stephen Lynch: Rep MA-9, Ranking:4, Yet another 4.
Bill Delahunt: Rep MA-10, Ranking-4, I'm done!

Massachusetts Republicans
Mitt Romney: Former Gov, Ranking: 6, Many seem to think Romney is the most likely pick for McCain. I think he is only an OK pick though. He helps with fiscal conservatives, but I don't think he helps with social conservatives or independents. May help in Michigan, but I think his impact there is overrated too. Not a bad pick, but McCain can do better.
Jane Swift: Former Gov, Ranking: 5, Young (43) and could help McCain with women, but highest elected office was Lt. Gov.
Paul Cellucci: Former Gov, Ranking: 5, Served briefly as Governor, then became ambassador to Canada.
William Weld: Former Gov, Ranking: 6, Dominated the Mass GOP during the 1990s.
