Romney, no matter what you think of his political views, does have the background and brains to tutor McCain on business and money. Would I prefer that had different views? Of course, but when it comes to the economy I think he has what it takes to steer us out of the rut the dollar is getting in.
If we are destined to have McCain for 4 years (*sigh*) we might as well put some brains in behind him to at least keep the economy rolling along so that we have a better chance to 2012 to then put someone better in office. Just because Romney is VP doesn't mean he will get the nod in 2012.
I don't want to see either Hillary, or especially Obama, in office though. At this time in our nation's history we can't afford a grand experiment to truly screw us up like either one of them will.

The republican party needs to distance itself from the empty, genetically liberal, stepford man Romney.
The 61 year old Romney was a lifelong anti-conservative, he was against Goldwater as a young man, against Reagan during his presidency, and then he was against the republican revolutionaries of 1994.
Lacking any inner self, 30 months ago he created a conservative strategy to win the presidency, he even reshaped himself as the ‘new Reagan’ by attempting to reshape Reagan’s memory to fit his own twisted past.
I don’t see Romney as a great mind, I see him as a shallow empty suit that is only good at focusing on his own narrow ambitions.
To ignore dedicated movement conservatives that have been fighting the good fights for years and decades to embrace a freshly written 2006 campaign strategy written by a liberal 59 year old power hungry outsider from the liberal NE, is to destroy conservatism for the future.
