Powell, Rice, Lieberman and Huckabee are also unacceptable.
Forget the Morman and the Arkansasn
Then who?
Add Crist, Ridge, and Lindsey Graham to the list.
Calling all Romney bashers...
McCain is a mistake all by himself.
Morris is so full of it...remember who he worked for.
Dick Morris gets it right for a change about Slick Willard, but gets it wrong for the other RINO (or rodent) choices for VP.
Dick Morris has officially lost his mind. Badness of his advice can only mean one thing: He is for Obama.
Condi = Bush = 80% disapproval rating
Powel = Will Endorse Obama anytime now
Leiberman = Unless McCain wants to win the Presidency of some BINGO club, putting equally dull and old looking dude on the ticket wouldn’t make much sense.
Romney can raise upto 50 million dollars. He can’t out-raise Obama, but he doesn’t have to. Hillary couldn’t either, but she almost managed to pull it off. Obama can’t buy his way to WH. All McCain has to do in terms of money is remain within striking distance and he is doing a reasonable job of that.
Michigan is only polling couple of points higher for Obama and there are 3 and half months to go.
Romney can tip the scale in McCain’s favor.
Remember Obama went into Texas couple of points ahead....
Romney has some pull in Nevada and Colorado. He can bring those to the McCain’s column as well.
More importantly he looks like he is alive.
McCain needs to give Huck or some OTHER Southerner a prominent role in the campaign to HOLD Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.
If not McCain then I-Carly!
Yeah she is filthy rich, so is Romney.
However, she is a hot Woof, and Hildabeast lovers may just not be able to resist her.
the blonde who worked for Nixon and Colmes’ sister in law said tonight if mccain didn’t pick Mitt she was gonna run in the streets in sixth avenue,
Mitt is her “sexy pic”...lolol and I AGREE!
I guess Dick agrees with you.
“Powell, Rice, Lieberman, Huckabee — but not Romney!”
What are you talking about, Dick? This is the “Condi vs. Hillary” election. You mean they aren’t going to be the nominees like you predicted in that book?
So, based on your most recent analysis, you think McCain should select Powell, Rice or Lieberman? Two liberals, and maybe even three. And Condi can’t even say aloud who she intends to vote for after praising Obama.
Based on Dick’s analysis, Romney seems far and away the strongest possible VP selection.
I heard Morris predict on BOR tonight that his prediction for VP is Tom Ridge. I hope not. Ridge is a bore.
Outside of Romney, I like John Thune and Pawlenty.
Just one more in a long list of mistakes.
To bad Fred Thompson would not take the job of VP ..... is it to late for Fred to take the job ?
There is but one logical choice.
The "Warrior and the Woman" (will Win BIG
attacting a large fraction of the pro-Hillary frustrated Democrat women
in every one of the 50 (yes, Obama, that is 50) states ;-)X.)
Is not THAT special. The rest talk (or less)
and Gov. Palin actually did something
(other than seeking federal bailouts for everything like Romney).
Dang! Morris is REALLY losing it. Connolly’s fabled $10 million dollar delegate was in 1980, NOT 1968. While the guy probably forgot more than I’ll ever know on the topic, he obviously forgot plenty, and worse yet, doesn’t know he forgot it!
Palin
Watts
Blackburn
Rove
Those are Veep picks.
The others are nose picks.
Sometimes you just have to give some props to the Dems. A few years back, they also had a governor decide to to make the transition from state to national politics. And that governor was from Arkansas and had been pro-life and pro-second amendment and even signed a resolution honoring the Confederate flag. Then old Slick showed up ready to run for president and those conservative views had been put behind and he was pro-choice, favored restrictions and second amendment, and that little thing about the Confederate flag was just ignored, despite some Republican attempts to make it an issue. The Dems. didn’t care about his past, they just voted for the one they thought had the best chance to win the presidency. And they also forgot about some of those conservative things Gore favored running for office in Tennessee.
When the Dems. saw their best chance to win, they didn’t even think about tearing their candidates apart because of positions they’d taken in conservative states. They supported them, and they went to win the presidency twice and almost a third time.
But these purist Republicans. There will be NO overlooking positions taken to win office in the most liberal state in the union. No matter that Romney ran for president on very conservative positions. He’s tainted forever, no matter what he says when running for a national office.
And these purist Republicans, unlike the much savvier Dems., have done their best to trash the man who could be our best candidate and campaigner since Reagan, who also took some liberal positions as governor, including the signing of a bill expanding cases where abortion was permitted.
Good thing these purists weren’t around in such numbers in 1976 and 1980. They’d have done their best to trash Reagan and keep him from winning the nomination. - Of course, they’ll deny that, but I expect they would have been just as unforgiving then as now. Purity is purity.
Powell and Rice would be really doltish choices.
There are zero blacks who are going to be moved by that. If their reason for thinking of McCain is because he has a black on the ticket, then this same thought pattern would have them look for the black at the top of the ticket.
Obama is getting 99.9% of the black vote even if he gets caught at 2 AM in a gay bathhouse in San Francisco.
It’s stupid to waste money and choices chases after a black vote that’s already sewn up.
If McCain chooses Liebermann, he’s going to lose the conservative base. Libermann is a flat out liberal. His ONLY redeeming quality is that he’s a middle east hawk. That’s it. (Another idiotic choice.)
Huckabee delivers Arkansas to the Republicans. Would you rather have that or Romney’s Michigan, Money, Organization, Experience, Expertise, Leadership, and willingness to be a hatchet man.
Morris is wrong again.
Didn’t Dick Morris tell use it would be Hillary ... and loved Huck???
No sale on his opinions.
BTTT!
The good news is that Dick Morris is always wrong.
I have come to the conclusion that we are seeing the perfect storm of a worst case scenario of a political season. Ultra left- dems against two RINOS. God help us.
Morris is clueless.
From day one this election has been about vote splitting.
The conservative base needed to be split to have a Soros style RINO win.
Thompson was a splitter in the end (unfortunatly)
Huckabee’s insane remaining in the race was JUST to split votes from Romney.
Kook Paul was just a media figment to split votes early on and deny any youth vote to republicans.
Of course the Huckster fanatics here can see the strategic elements of adult campaigns. (de-nial is not just a river in egypt)
Romney may or may not be a mistake. McCain is a definit mistake and this is what we were given by the GOP overlords. It is just a question whether mccain is going to pick a “man” or a wuss to be VP.
A weak presidential candidate does not look strong with a wimp for a vp. (ie you don’t look less fat by standing next to fatter people)
Romney would be the absolute worst choice McCain could make for VP. I don’t know why this balloon keeps getting floated but it would be a disaster if he chose this guy as VP.
