Mitt Romney is most qualified to be vice president
Florida Times Union ^ | 27 August 2008 | Nancy Peek McGowan

Posted on 08/28/2008 12:19:59 PM PDT by Terrence DoGood

The Republican Women's Club of Duval, in a straw poll, chose Mitt Romney as the most qualified candidate for vice president for the Republican Party.

In the Florida primary, Northeast Florida voted for Romney by a 3-1 margin over John McCain. Immediately after the poll, President Betsy Young called on me to present a resolution urging McCain to select Romney as his running mate.

Romney possesses a proven fiscal record at Bain Capitol where he made household names of corporate giants - Staples, Domino's and Office Depot. In 2002, at Salt Lake City, Romney rescued the U.S. Olympics from a $379 million deficit and turned a $100 million profit.

You see? I read this, and the choice is clear.

There is no perfect VP choice this year, but when you look at plus and minus, Romney is the best choice.

He provides Mac with a boost and a strong wing man...

I went to but a single rally for Romney and found him an appealing speaker. I believe he can talk a conservative game. I have always been willing to forgive the aberations toward the left regarding Massachusetts. It IS Massachusetts, after all. My problem with him is, despite his popularity in NE Florida, generally, below the Mason Dixon Line he barely rates an asterisk.

Although I do love chinese food. And compared to soy crap the so called men that vote democrat eat, I gotta say I’d take rule by the chicoms over rule by our stalinists.

I look at what a person did and rate it.
Willard Mitt Romney:

Olympics = neutral.
Staples = good.
Mass. governor = very negative (only a far leftest
could be elected).
Romney-care = bad, total fraud.
Bain Capital = bad (Corporate Raiders.

What are you on drugs? Who said I want to be ruled. If given a choice I’d take chinese food over soy. It’s a joke. And if obama wins, I will be ruled. So go fly a kite.
