John McCain has five weeks to choose his Vice Presidential running mate. Typically the most a presidential candidate can hope for is a partner who does him no harm. That criteria having been met, the choice is only important if the race is close; landslides arent caused or prevented by vice presidential candidates.
So the question for John McCain is who, if anyone can significantly influence Americans to vote Republican in November. The answer is Mitt Romney -- and for many more reasons than that he can deliver Michigans 17 electoral votes to the Republican column for the first time since 1988.

While we watch this become a Romney-bashing whine fest.
Remember:
It’s reflexive Romney-bashing, which led to McCain’s nomination.
This time, the stakes are higher:
The Presidency.
It’s time to quit whining, and support Romney because he can WIN.
support Romney because he can WIN.

Buying the White House is not winning, Grasshopper...

You get the idea. He'd be an "ideal" candidate for McCain who changes his stance almost as often as he changes his underwear and political alliances. He'd be horrible in terms of winning the election or in running a Country.
Less bad than Obama, but still even worse than the morons currently infesting Congress and the White House.
Winning a majority of the votes, because people actually like your candidate ... is not “buying the White House”.
Romney is a nice guy.
People like him.
He’ll win.
“Is it his flexible stance on abortion maybe?”
And many other issues. He has no core values, he will compromise any belief. He is the Republican John Edwards.
who would promote family values

Which would they be ????
When would that start ?????????
Romney has pushed liberal issues for years..
abortion-on-demand, under age abortions and $50 abortions...
and gay rights and same sex marriage...penalized the Boy Scouts
Mandatory health insurance...
Loathed the military...no Romney has served for more than 100 years...
Flippant about his lack of service...
And so on...
Mitt Romney is 100% improvement over John McCain. McCain shows no interest in winning, no enthusiasm, just goof after goof that the media rushes to cover up like the CBS fiasco with Katie.
Romney is the wise choice. No one ever accused McCain for being wise.

I like Fred, but can we agree that he is a terrible campaigner?
Not Guilty! :)
Romney / Palin 2012.
Sssh.
Fred’s sleeping.
If Romney’s so hot, why didn’t anyone vote for him in the primaries?

Spending nearly $100 Million to get just the Republican nomination is buying the White house, Grasshopper...
Romney never got “a majority of votes”
He got a majority of votes in Utah, 90%, because mormons vote in a bloc..orders from Salt lake City...
McCain won the nomination.....
Hard to say. Has anyone actually seen him campaigning?
The “Warrior and the Woman” wins over
The “Warrior and the Wimp”
Nice thing about America.
Nice thing about FreeRepublic.
Reasonable minds, can differ.
Right, a Mormon with five kids.
