Romney would be a good pick...pro-business, anti-illegal (actually for deportation and fencing), pro-life..
The NYT fears the McCain/Romney ticket would blast their Messiah...we all know Obama will lose...this would cement the deal.
I don't know, other than mindless repetition, or MittPitch, where he gets any street cred for being anti-illegal.
Now the NYT is trying to pick the Veep, too??
GTFO
Everything else aside, if Romney delivered Michigan Obama would be in serious trouble.
