At this time unless somebody points out a better candidate, I am for Mitt as the VP.
Somebody needs to create a side by side table of the possible VP candidates and their positions on various issues.
He's a slow, tired, unmotivated prune who failed to win anything during the very short time he mustered a campaign.
And Romney's vote count is greatly inflated because of his landslides in a few midwestern states that are safe for McCain anyway. Michigan is the only case for Mitt, and as I explained already I don't think it's a good case for getting new voters.
There are good potential VPs out there who lack the baggage that Mitt has, not just for this year, but in 4-8 years when it really matters. 'First loser' does not make you in the automatic VP in any case.
He’s makes the guy in this video look straight. Seems very credible.

Mark Sanford seems pretty good.
Governor Mark Sanford of SC. A real conservative, experience in the private sector, the House and re-elected governor
Fred didn’t want the Presidency that much to start with. What makes you think he go for Veep? All of the work, none of the fun or glory...
the real reason we wanted Fred was his blog response to michael moore. remember?
He promised to bring new life into the campaign and then fizzled away.
Romney thus appears to have the best ratio of virtues to drawbacks. But there’s just one problem: McCain doesn’t like him.

Nor do the conservatives...
FRed is the only one on that list who would be acceptable...
And would make a good president...

"I tells them what I am going to tell them.
Then I tells them.
Then I tells them what I told them."
Who is this RINO Romney and what gives you the idea he is a conservative ????
I think the Fred most ppl imagined was 10-15 yrs younger than the real one. Hunt for Red October came out 18 yrs ago. The actual Fred turned out to be a lot older, slower, and less impressive.
Plus, actors without scripts are like supermodels without makeup. Fred did not do well unscripted. He was awful. Uh and duh was about all he could say.
But the REAL reason ppl wanted Fred is that the entire field was full of liberals and we were desperate for a better option. Fred looked good on paper, but that was all. Reality didn't match.

Keep reading the objective, conservative press.
The adults who know politics.
See if you can find Barone’s view on this.
NOBODY in America can count votes like him.
Who would garner the most votes NATIONALLY?
Who can bring the most money to the campaign NATIONALLY?,
Wait, wait, wait a minute here.
I have core principles, and I will not budge.
I would rather vote for Hillobama and see the country go down the sewer for 4 years, after which we can save Her and turn her around.
We simply need to wipe the voter's faces in shiite for four years first, then they will see the light, and magically vote conservative for the rest of eternity, because they are so smart, and we can count on them to do the right thing, and vote conservative,....next time around.
You talk as if this is a election for president of the unites states or something....
Some losers only have a screw loose, others have lost it all, but they will all be better than Mccain. You know, the one the majority of the republican party voted for?
He has waaaay too much baggage, and I disagree 1000% percent (!) with everything he says or does. I would only vote if my local district PTA president were the nominee. Now there, there is a conservative's conservative. I just do not see why the whole country does not get behind her.
She is pro gun, pro life, pro lower taxes, inti immigration, pro slapping the shiite out of democrats whenever they open their mouths. Gosh, Perhaps I should just get a divorce and marry her. She agrees more with me than my wife does.
Wow.
/sarc
well fred did have a solid record as a conservative based on consistent principles but yeah...this is the world we live in.
What did Reagan do that was different? He was also an old actor. I think he was successful because of his ability to connect with ordinary people. People just loved the guy.
Hillary needs to get everything that Gore or Kerry got, plus one. Evan Bayh as VP would turn a red state blue. McCain needs the same...as W. got. Romney doesn’t bring a state. McCain needs to do something to insure OH and FL, and if there is slippage there, a blue state that might go red.
Did Barone actually say what you’re saying? I just scanned his recent columns and didn’t see any such thing.
I enjoyed yesterdays vote here in Mississippi. Got to vote for Fred finally....
Felt good despite the reality of the situation.
