For Romney, now's the time to sweat
The Boston Globe ^ | July 22nd | Globe Staff

Posted on 07/22/2008 2:19:20 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney is a shrewd businessman, known for his cautious approach to the nerve-rattling takeover business. Romney's colleagues even came up for a name for what happened when Romney's inner worries began to ruffle his carefully groomed appearance - "pitting," for when the armpits of his expensive blue shirts would start to darken from perspiration.

Yep!

Romney is ready to go on day 1.

He’ll be an excellent pick for VP.

From the article:

"A killer Romney ad in New Hampshire not only alluded to McCain's age
but also showed average voters suggesting he was a tool of Washington,
perhaps the accusation of which the maverick McCain is least guilty."

McCain would be a fool to pick Romney:

Romney Tanks McCain

He is just as poor a candidate for VP as he was for president. You can't turn a dung heap into a silk purse.

Says you.

But that's not what the voters thought during the primaries.

Romney always captured the more Conservative vote in each state.

Still relying on DNC exit polls, Con-Man?

1) Romney LOST Florida.

2) The big story today is:
Americans have the best cancer survival rates
Healthcare Economist July 22, 2008
"Yesterday, the Economist reported on an article in The Lancet Oncology journal which found that the U.S.
has the best five year survival probabilities for breast and prostate cancer.
Score one for those against universal health care.
“The American free market is always the best!”

Oh Oh., more victims coming from Dictator Romney's fascist socialized medicine, HillaryCARE=RomneyCARE
which he imposed without a citizen's vote.

I’m warming up to the man. He’s a solid pick. NOt a WOW like Dick Morris says McCAin needs, but someone who can work well with different groups and esp industry.

BUT before the ink is dry on my post, I’m sure there will be a bunch of negative comments from the McCAin haters, bashing Romney as well.

I think we can win this election in a landslide if we all come together like we did in 2004.

He was basically unopposed in Michigan. Nobody except him even campaigned there.

I’m much more optimistic that we can win after seeing the Messiah’s press conference this morning.

Rush had 8 minutes worth of “uh’s”

More DNC exit polls, Con-Man? (yawn)
How about explaining Romney's hatred for heroes in uniform?
After all, it will negate Sen. McCain's biggest issue.


National Guard Lt. Anthony Circosta poses in his backyard in Agawam, Mass., on June 9, 2007.
At left, his wife Danielle and daughter Kylie, 2, talk near the swing set. Circosta,
a decorated Iraq War veteran, seemed like an ideal candidate for a pardon from
then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the 29-year-old's boyhood conviction
for a BB gun shooting.
Romney denied the pardon, twice, despite the recommendation of the governor's council.

It isn’t intended to be a mormon hater thread.. but the haters always seek out the threads and spoil them.
