I have said the same since Mitt bowed out. I will still probably have to imbibe to do so. Mccain honestly looks ill to me. He even sounds ill.

I will have to take a belt of whiskey before pulling the lever for McPain this November, no doubt about that. But if Obama wins, I'll be drinking heavily for at least four years and my liver is only now starting to recover from the eight Clinton years.

If McCain does win, I don't think he's healthy enough to finish his term and it will be good to have Mitt as VP as he will be able to step in and restore some much-needed conservatism to the Republican Party.

Constitutional question here: If McCain dies in his first term (of natural causes, of course) and Mitt Romney was the VP, would Mitt be able to run for re-election two more times or will he only be able to run for one additional term? I can't seem to find the answer to that question anywhere on the Internet.

Consider the hypothetical possibility that McCain will drop dead about two minutes after taking the oath of office (not that I'm hoping that happens), would Mitt then be able to be sworn in immediately, serve out McCain's four year term and then run for president for two terms on his own? That would give us Mitt for 12 years. By then, one of Mitt's sons might be old enough to run and than we could have "Mitt Jr" for another eight years. That's two decades of Romney and by then end of those 20 years, even Romney fans like me might be "Romneyed Out."
