Mark Sanford is probably the safest pick McCain could make. He doesn't really tick off anyone and rallies some of the base. Jindal is too extreme, and Palin is too inexperienced. Romney would tick off people like me, and Huckabee's religious views may turn off some. However, he's a great communicator, and I don't think he'd be a terrible pick. He may turn off independents, though.

McCain could pick Lieberman and present voters with a truly bipartisan ticket. He really needs to make a splash with his pick, and playing it safe may not be the best move considering he's down right now. A Liberman pick could be an attempt to salvage his maverick image and hit back at Obama who claims to transcend party lines  by showing that it is McCain who is trying to transcend party lines. This move could, however, turn off a lot of the base who may still not like Lieberman, and he is very liberal on every other issue outside of the War and national security.
