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.

The only drawback to Mitt is that when they stand side-by-side he makes gramps McCain look about a 110.....a wrinkled 110 at that.
...second place.
Sure hope so.
MITT should be running for President.
It’s funny.
There’s 3 Romney haters on this thread.
Everyone else supports him.
Well that maybe what we get...
There is but one logical choice.
The "Warrior and the Woman" (will Win BIG
attacting a large fraction of the pro-Hillary frustrated Democrat women).
Well, if you want leadership... Slick Willard AIN’T your man. His running away from his responsibilities as Governor to whore after the Presidency demonstrates the difference between a statesman and just a cheap, two-bit politician.
Real leaders like SC Gov. Mark Sanford are the kind of men we need leading our nation and our party. He has NEVER abdicated his responsibilities and remains committed to smaller government and reforming entitlements that are pushing us to the brink of bankruptcy.
Yes. Except for the President and Vice-President, the ticket's ideal.
Thank you!
Maybe you can help these shameless Evangelicals who took out an ad spewing their hypocrisy and HATRED for Mitt.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Wrong. In fact,:

_____________________________________________
Why would he have to do that ????
Romney have been doggin’ McCain and kissin’ up to him to be VP since he lost the Primary...
McCain trips over Romney every time he turns around...
I think by now McCain knows that Romney is his little lap dog.....
Horsecrap. As for this group, sounds like another Slick Willard-funded front. He loves those. Just spreads the $$ around like he spreads his lies.
