Okay, "disastrous" may be a little strong. I should save that kind of language for Huckabee.

But Romney would not be a great pick, and potentially a pretty bad one. He's a major league flip-flopper and a Mormon. Those are probably less important faults for a VP, but they're still electoral faults.

mccain had a problem with romney ever since the winter olympics in 2000. You see, mcCain really doesn’t like spending on pork that doesn’t serve the national interest...

On Sept. 19, 2000, John McCain rose in the Senate to rail against what he called the “staggering” sums that the federal government planned to spend to help Salt Lake City stage the 2002 Winter Olympics.

“The American taxpayer is being shaken down to the tune of nearly a billion and a half dollars,” McCain said.
The Arizona Republican vowed to “do everything in my power” to delay or kill “this pork-barrel spending” and to end the “fiscal abuse” related to the Olympics. “This is preposterous and it must stop,” he said.
