He puts the West over and alot of 527’s with Roomey and might get Michigan.

[GOP_Lady]

Lady GOP, we agree. Reverse that image for me, GOP_Lady. :-) LOL.

[GOP_Lady]

And, I believe he can help win Ohio, which is similar to Michigan.

Mark Sanford. A REAL Conservative.

[GOP_Lady]

He’s cool.

$50 abortions are A-OK with me! -- Mitt Romney

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Yeah, he can pander and use class envy just like he did in the Michigan debates. It’ll be like the Dem VP we never had...

[Zevonismymuse]

I can't wait to bust out our Mitt T-Shirts. Our family and friends are huge Mitt fans and we aren't even Mormon.

[BamaDi]

Please, please, please I hope you're right....I truly pray that Mitt is the VP candidate....

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I like Mark Sanford. Hell, I love South Carolina.

I’ve been thinking though that I’d like to visit a place where the streets are made of candy and it rains chocolate doughnuts. You know, like the fantasy world where Willard can actually somehow get McCain to win Michigan?

I wouldn’t want to live there or anything, but I do like free doughnuts as much as the next guy.

[RockinRight]

Mitt is also who I hope for, but more than that, I’m praying it’s NOT Mike Huckabee.

Keep rocking’ CA dudes and dudettes! I’m watching from Ohio.

[GOP_Lady]

Oh, no.

In recent weeks, McCain's campaign has shown some real signs of life but a selection of Mitt Romney as VP will send the campaign into orbit. Romney will breath some much needed energy and optimism into the campaign.

Also, the selection of Romney will effectively counter the Joe Biden pick. Mitt can hold his own with Biden and then some.

This McCain candidacy is also unique in that McCain looks to be definitely a one-termer. McCain is almost three years older than Reagan was in 1980. So it is very unlikely he will seek a second term (he will be 76 at that time). So the VP pick should ideally be somebody who can carry the GOP torch into the 2012 and 2016 campaigns. Romney looks to be that guy.

I think a McCain/Romney ticket is a sure winner.

[Scarchin]

Sure-

But not relevant here.

It’s Mitt baby!

[Lady GOP]

Ive got a good feeling about it. I would say by Thursday we will know :)

Colin Quinn was doing a bit in his act about how Mitt resembles the character in the old 60s movies who always had the sweater tied around his neck and hung around the ski lodge. In other words, a prima donna.
