Maybe McCain should pick Coburn as a running mate. He will probably make some safe pick made by insiders who don't have a clue.

When told that Coburn would ignore the committee and continue delivering babies for free, 75% voiced a favorable opinion of the senator

makes me wonder about that other 25%....

As sad as it would be, I'm kinda hoping McCain does not select a conservative running mate who has potential to run for president in the future. The VP is not going to be able to move McCain to the right in any practical terms, thus it would be best not to be tarred by the big government term(s) I would expect of a McCain presidency. Best to hold off til 2012 instead.

Senator Tom Coburn is unknown to most Americans, but the strange workings of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics could end up making the Oklahoma Republican far more popular than he is today.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/senator_who_births_babies_gets_boost_from_voters">
Currently, 65% of voters nationwide don’t know enough about Coburn to have any opinion at all. He is best known in Washington as "Dr. No" for battling his colleagues over wasteful government spending.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/senator_who_births_babies_gets_boost_from_voters"><P>
Coburn is a medical doctor who continues to deliver about 400 babies a year. When told that it would be a violation of Senate rules to earn such outside income, Coburn stopped collecting money. He actually loses money for delivering the babies since he pays for malpractice insurance out of his own pocket. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey found that 77% of voters say such conduct is appropriate for a senator while only 8% disagree.
