Romney actually can bring in votes, too. There are decent-sized Mormon populations in some western states that are have been becoming less red and that Obama thinks he can take in lieu of Ohio and Florida. A similar effect with Lieberman and the Jewish vote helped make Florida closer than one would otherwise have expected in 2000.

Romney also has family history and a good vibe in Michigan — he won the primary there — and the credibility to make the argument that the Dems are to blame for the auto industry decline. Winning Michigan would be pretty big for the GOP.

I hope he does choose Romney. I like Romney.

But I don’t believe this either.

I’m just so afraid McCain will make a dumb choice that will alienate even his most reluctant voters.

“You’re a liar too... He’s pro-life, jerk.”

No he's not. That's He has been on every side of the life issue. Have every read or listened to any of his comments. You might want to listen to his actual word instead of falling for the smoke and mirrors.

I take it you also haven't taken the time to see that he was strongly pro gay while governor. He even put his name on pro gay flayers.

Do your research before you spout off...

I noted on Intrade that Romney VP bid and ask had gone up, so did a blog search to see if there was an explanation. This article came up, maybe it is the reason, I don't know. Beware, the site features a lot of graphics of nubile and pulchritudinous co-eds.

McCain should name Mitt Romney as VP tomorrow and send him out on the road to savage Obama all summer long
I don't care about any Republican convention for Romney to be named VP
By then it will be too late

Get Mitt out there now. He has the youthful looks and enormous resume to challenge rookie Obama at every turn. Mitt will slice and dice that POS

I agree with you completely. What's the point of waiting till the convention. During the primaries, I kept saying that Romney is the candidate the Dems fear the most. Every time I saw a Dem pundit on TV, they would say that Romney would be a bad choice for the GOP, while Huckabee would be a better choice. What they really meant was, Romney would be a bad choice for THEM.

Much stronger than Huckabee, I totally agree.

Woo hoo! Mass-Care for all America!

Vote for McCain, he’ll give us socialized medicine, carbon taxes, unchecked illegal immigration, abortion...

And if you don’t vote for McCain, we’ll get Obama... who’ll give us socialized medicine, carbon taxes, unchecked illegal immigration, abortion...


Wow. I’ve forgotten... who’s the conservative candidate in this?

Oh, and you *MUST* vote for one of the two, ‘cause everybody just *KNOWS* that a vote for someone else is just a waste. Uh-huh, dem Republicrats tells me so.

Heaven forbid anyone actually use their brains to think about this...

I think McCain should gamble and play up his age. I don't have the demographics handy, but I am quite sure the majority of the voting-age public is older than Obama. There is a psychological aversion among many people to hand the keys to the White House to someone younger than they.

Bears repeating. Especially for the hard of hearing!

Good analysis.

This is why many people like an airline captain with a little silver around the temples...

Right.

IMO, Huckabee is responsible for giving us McCain instead of Romney. I'm sure as hell not in favor of rewarding the Huckster by offering him the Veep.

The Huckster is not qualified to lead this country.

“Romney brings with him the potential to raise “upwards of $60 million in 30 to 60 days...”

Much earlier on, I said that he’d choose Romney because Romney could cut a check. But now that McCain has elected to use public financing, I don’t think this article makes any sense.
