“Some Monday morning quarterbacking debate. If the economy really heads south.
Who better to has as VP Gov. Palin or Gov. Romney? “
That’s easy.. Palin. If there’s to be an actual substantive job on the economy, it would be in the Cabinet.
Who better to has as VP Gov. Palin or Gov. Romney? “
A McCain/Romney ticket would have been unelectable under those circumstances.
It would have been weak to begin with (no Palin bounce). Romney would have been too easy to paint as a Wall Street insider that has been part of the problem.
McCain/Palin can get traction on this issue becuase they can paint themselves as complete outsiders. People that have a track record of reform that will go to Washington and reform it also.
IMHO, Romney's chance at the White House passed this year. The next generation of national Republicans (Palin, Jindal, Lingle) are comming to the forefront and they are exciting the Republican base.
If McCain doesn't run in 2012, I would be surprised if ANY of the people that ran for the Republican nomination this time are considered serious candidates in 2012.
That Romney dog just won't hunt anymore.
