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.

If a Conservative shills for a liberal, they’re not a Conservative. Y’know, like the callers to C-Span that claim to be “Conservative Republicans” openly endorsing Obama because McCain is “sooooooo right-wing” ? You’re not one of those callers, now are you ? ;-)
You are a mormon?
Go back and look up the threads at the time. It was well-discussed.
Do you like Tom Tancredo?
Oooh, that’s gonna leave a mark. Or shall I say ‘Mauck’ ?
Things are going to suck so bad by then, even the incumbent will be a dead duck. McCain s a one termer.
Folks will really be looking for the 21st century Reagan, and this vanity candidate crap will be long gone....
Hello. Got pinged to the thread. I’ve been avoiding them for the most part but, I have this morbid fascination with Internet nutcases on the Left and the Right. Oh, well. Hope everything is good with you. :-)
Since you are fairly new, I'll emphasize again, don't confuse tolerance with respect. Your language alone gives others a view into who you really are. Who you really are and who you think you are, are not the same thing. It's a common problem with liberals ... .
In case you don’t know. There are two forms of voting: (1) individual citizens and (2) through our elected representatives. Try again.
Haven’t we been over all this before, Hoss ? Go back to the January & February threads, you’ll find the answers.
Indeed. I did not expect to be entertained by Team Romney this long...
It’s like overtime...
The border of what ? Bullcrapistan ?
John Adams was a lunatic?
Let me ask you a question, my microcephalic friend.
Is there a Politician alive today that can hold a candle to John Adams?
How about Franklin?, Madison?
Everything is just fine, thanks. :-) As we can see, it’s the usual two or three. Take care. :-)
He swings, he misses.
Ruh-roh ! Another MYTH exposed about Slick Willard. Teehee.
Just because they were the founding fathers doesn’t mean they were perfect.
You can’t be serious??
