It is Speaker of the House, Pelosi.
As far as VP goes, I do see how a candidate should take time and consider who he/she picks. That's why I was really surprised at Palin. As much as I am not a fan of his, I would have thought Romney would have been the best choice for McCain. With his economy background, he'd be a plus, as Biden, with his foreign relations background is a plus for Obama.
Then again, I hear Romney and McCain don't really like each other. Still, I do think a poor and careless choice on McCain's part. But who knows how the publice will vote. We'll see.
