McCain might’ve lost, anyway, but he’d have had a shot if he’d named a serious VP who could’ve been President, if necessary (like Romney, just to pick a name...Romney, incidentally, would’ve won the ticket for the Republicans, I believe, because as it turns out...the economy became the big issue, and that was Romney’s strong point).
Massachusetts Romneycare government health care is a huge success, just ask him. No Thanks!
