Strictly from an electoral standpoint (i.e. not in terms of your own policy preferences), why is Romney a better pick than Huckabee?

Brains.

A McCain-Romney ticket would be a huge mistake. As would a McCain-Crist or any McCain-Fellow RINO ticket. It needs to be a McCain-Watts, McCain-Palin, McCain-Blackburn or any McCain-Real Conservative ticket. You cannot win an election without REAL support from your base and putting a second RINO on the ticket is not going to secure the base. It’s going to keep it home.

In my opinion that would not be wise. Too many flip-flops by Romney.

This would be awesome. Mitt Romney has not been shy at taking shots at the Clintons and all they represent. He can hold his own on the campaign trail and allow McLame to take the “high road”. Part of Mitt’s problem has been name recognition. After four years as VP, McLame can retire as a one term president as has been rumored.

Dumb idea.

When he was working for Bush, Rove “reached out” to Evangelicals and conservative Catholics, but he never really understood them, and in the end he lost them.

Romney was generally viewed as a “lesser evil” by conservatives who held their noses and voted for him in primaries rather than vote for the other losers on the ticket. But he still couldn’t cut it.

So, now Rove wants a ticket consisting of Mr. Greater Evil and Mr. Lesser Evil? I think not.

Romney does nothing for McCain. Romney had the rap as a turncoat so Conservative tolerated Romney. He needs a good federalist Conservative like Sanford.

If the choice is Crist, McCain is done! It will smell of inside politics (as usual) and turnoff pragmatic Conservatives.

why is Romney a better pick than Huckabee?

Because the Huckster's support is concentrated in states that would go red if the GOP nominated an eggplant (and is thus null and void as far as the Electoral College outcome is concerned).

I would be happier with the reverse, but I’d definitely support a McLame/Romney ticket.

Personally, it really comes down to my total revulsion for either of the dems being the only thing that’ll get me out of the house on election day.

I really don’t think Romney wants a #2 spot....ANY #2 spot. It’s just not who he is. He’ll go for being the head of some GOP organization and then be back in 3 years.

I doubt Rove is pushing Romney. It makes no sense that Rove would be doing so.

BTW, am I the only one who has noticed that Novak has pretty much been wrong about every “Rumor” he’s reported lately?

The only way I am voting for McCain is if he has a conservative running mate.

I dont think he is looking to good lately, and I am worried about his health through a first term, or even until November.

His decline has been pretty rapid- he is getting the slow shuffing gate of an aged person

Would the nation vote for an avid hunter and gun owner as VP?

Cheney’s gun ownership and hunting did not become an issue until he accidentally shot someone, which I think sensitized Americans to teh concept.

Maybe McCain should pick someone who is not a dedicated lifelong hunter and gun owner.
