Such a combination would make sense, as it would instantly shore up McCain's support among conservatives (except, of course, the right-wing talk-radio demagogues). and it would neatly fit with the longstanding tradition of a party's president and vice-presidential candidates hailing from different regions of the country; in this case and Westerner and a Southerner.
