Campaign Panel - Live blog

Who would be McCain's VP? To Kieran Mahoney:

I'd love Mel Martinez, could offset Obama demographically. But probably ineligible.

But Mahoney wants to talk broader. Amazing energy in the Democratic Party. Will pick up seats that would otherwise not be able to win.

It will come down to "who represents the center in the electorate?" The fact that Democrats have all these advantages and its a one point race at the presidential level says a lot.

If you nominate a liberal, it's hard to run to the center and win. The last one who did was Harry Truman.

Sixty percent of the public wants small government and for everyone to get along. Change in government generally reflect the will of the American public.

The middle of the electorate is the dominant factor.
