Romney could have picked Ronald Reagan as his VP and been running against Stalin and I still wouldn’t have voted for him.
But I voted for John McCain.
I realize this is anecdotal, but it should give you a small idea of the bloodbath that would have occurred if Slick Willard had been our nominee.
“Romney could have picked Ronald Reagan as his VP and been running against Stalin and I still wouldn’t have voted for him.

That does not make any sense whatsoever. True, Romney was not a perfect candidate (we had flawed candidates all around) but McCain was a RINO’s RINO, the essence of what a true RINO actually is. Maverick, my a$$.
A ticket made up of Romney and Jindal would have been much more competetive than what we were left with. McCain was BY FAR my very last choice, and when he was forced upon us I knew we were in huge trouble, because McCain would be forced to try throughout his entire campaign to shore up the base instead of the usual “base in the bag, let’s move a bit to the middle to pay lip service to Independents” way. I had to hold my nose and throw up a few times when I voted for McCain. Romney would have had no lasting problem with the base (not the way McCain did) and with a good running mate like Jindal and a coherent message on the economy (which Romney was made for) it could have been won. If nothing else, Romney would have run a quality campaign, not the complete disaster that the McCain campaign was.
