I don’t think Mitt brings much to the table. I think he was the “not McCain” candidate and got those votes, but he had very few dedicated enthusiasts. I don’t think there is a chance in the world that he could make any of those NE states go red. He speaks well, but if McCain wins, I’d like to run someone more conservative than Mitt next time, and with McCains age there is a better than usual chance that the VP might have to step up.
Mitt is a sharp guy. Don't underestimate him. He'd be great for the economy. No, he was more then the “not McCain” candidate. Till the Huckster stepped in with attacks on Mormonism he'd have cleaned Huckabees clock. Mike was the spoiler. Mike is no better than a Demoncrat. The only difference between Huckabee and a Demoncrat is Mike mentions the word Jesus now and then, preaches SOCIALISM and is pro life. I looked at the Arkansas papers. Republicans HATED him because of his Demoncrat stances. What they didn't think of Huck did.
“McCains biggest problem is with conservatives. He needs a very conservative VP pick, and I hate to say it, but it would be all the better politically if they were minority, female, or both.”
Mitt is more conservative than you think. No the last thing we need is a surfacy minority or a female for visual. You need a strong candidate based on MERIT. Forget this “diversity” crap based on skin color and gender. McPain will fail he takes that route. People have MOVED ON from that.
We already have Condi who is sharp etc... the GOP has played the “diversity” game. Mitt is the best bet at this stage. BTW, I'm not a Mormon either. I simply care about the U.S. and I am worried about the direction we are taking.
I caught that Rendell, another loser compares the Obomination to Adley Stevenson! GEESH! If you are not familiar with him. do look this guy up! Scary people.
Well we agree on Huck, but don’t rule out identity politics. Its a very strong factor for a large portion of the non-thinking population, and politics has its bikini contests.
I’m not running off to fill the one-legged, black, female, lesbian ticket. I’m saying that given the choice between a conservative man and a conservative woman of comparable talent, the woman would be the better choice.
I’d prefer that politics were a well judged debating match, but its not.
