On Monday night, at a fund-raiser in New Mexico, John McCain said this about his former mortal enemy, Mitt Romney: “I’m appreciative every time I see Mitt on television on my behalf. He does a better job for me than he did for himself as a matter of fact.” This may not have been a joke.
Yesterday, Romney sat down for an interview with CBS News. It is a striking interview, in part because Romney seems to be making the McCain argument better than McCain, or McCain's campaign. There is a clarity to the soundbites that McCain has mostly lacked, a clear line of attack against Obama's experience and McCain's plans. Add to that whatever fundraising burst Romney could provide as a VP candidate, as well as Romney's strength in key swing states like Michigan and Nevada, and it's not hard to see why McCain may end up with a running mate whose hand he didn't shake in the primaries.

EXCEPT: Mitt says in the interview that McCain distinguishes himself from Obama on drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. This is wrong, according to the latest McCain statements. Both McCain and Obama oppose drilling in ANWR.

Certainly seems that way. I guess they’d rather have Obama...something I will never understand.
Oh, my goodness ! You'd better ping your other little *omney sycophants to the thread because you're gonna be in for a shock. I have as much use for that Huckster Hee Haw Hootenanny from Hope as I do for Slick Willard. Yup, Huckster is the Southern-fried *omney. Both killed their state Republican parties. It was interesting the *omneybots got behind ME earlier in the year when I was leading the charge against their fellow RINO. And now you're accusing me of being for Huckster ! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!! Grow up, kid. What a maroon !
Maybe they fell for Obama’s many flips.. which is now causing him to flop!
Talking head pundits that kneecapped Fred Thompson don’t impress me much, especially ones that had their palms greased by Slick Willard.
At least Romney knows who he is! Obama does not seem to even know who he is. Obama says he is a Christian and that the HIndu Monkey god is his favorite god.

lol!
My thoughts exactly!
Romney will bring a lot to the ticket.
*omney sycophants with multiple accounts doesn’t count, babe. This is a Conservative website. We don’t support liberals here. Go ask Jim Robinson his opinion of *omney. It’s identical to mine and those of the other well-respected FReepers who actually can see the facts instead of making up nonsense to suit their agenda du jour as Slick Willard has.
How many are paid to shill, how many have multiple accounts ? And where is that list of Republicans *omney helped elect in MA ?
We’re still waiting for your answer, Mr. Shill.
Who cares who he helped elect in MA?
That doesn’t have diddly squat to do with anything.
When judges refuse to obey and interpret laws AS written, it is the DUTY of the other branches to nullify and/or disregard said decisions. The courts are not God, and their decisions are NOT a mutual suicide pact for this nation. Their activism and deliberate misinterpretations ARE anarchy.
When ?
Shake hands! As a Bapist, our conservative church wanted him for President ... we get a companion on positions and clearly Mitt had it - hands down. This is a Bible based church that doesn't preach Humanism. Instead of reactions by other so called "Christians" they prayed for him and still do ... .
I volunteered for Bush. If Mitt runs, I'll volunteer, with enthusiasm to support Mitt - it wouldn't be for McPain. I would have preferred to see Mitt as the nominee. McPain is such an embarrassment!
It's hard for me to believe but McPain is busily meeting with RACISAL Hispanic groups - such as the one that means “RACE” in Spanish and informing them he should TRUST HIM. His first priority will be immigration reform AFTER the fence is built. I can't believe it it but he truly is THAT STUPID!
McPain’s own state is finally driving out the illegals through the employers and he's still pushing for “reform” which is a code word for amnesty. He's playing word games and walking all around it. McPain must believe people are really STUPID! It's also galling how he takes the conservative base for granted.He's no “maverick”. He's stubborn and STUPID. He has no time for his base - conservatives. It's truly mind boggling. He cannot win with leftists and Independents. When it comes to them - they will vote for Democrats. He should not assume the conservative vote. I don't know of any genuine conservative that is happy with him and not contemplating sitting out.
My hope is that some of Mitt's conservatism could rub off on him and straighten McPain out. Mitt gets it. On the economic front, Mitt would be a financial savior. McPain is no better than Obama on that front. Truly I don't remember a more ignorant Presidential nominee than McPain. McPain is worse than Dole and Mr. Entitltlemt was pretty bad.
We'll see what happens ... I hope I don't have to sit this one out. I've never done that before but I am fed up with RHINO’s that have NO BACKBONE.
What besides an infinite amount of bullcrap and zero accomplishments (except to kill the state party he was in charge of) ?
Whatever, how many will vote for VP? I would not vote for either John or Hussein no matter who is the VP.
bttt
Mmmm hmm. Very good analysis!
I was thinking the same thing about you. ;)
No, I don’t need an army of people to “attack you”.
LOL!
You’re doing a fine job in letting folks know what to think of you on your own. Post away!
Like I said before.
The Republican Convention is at the same time as the Olympics.
And who helped save the Olympics before?
Mitt Romney of course....!!!!!
