For some reason that I can’t quite fathom, there are millions of Republican voters who just can’t stand Romney. Is it his flexible stance on abortion maybe?

The same can be said about McCain, Thompson, Huckaby, Rudy, et al. The sad truth is not one of the Republicans who was running gained overwhelming support. There are a good many who do like Romney, he was my third choice. The question now is, would he be a good pick for VP. Personally, I think so. McCain is notoriously bad on economic issues, someone like Romney is very strong on that point. Given this I think he is an ideal choice.

I think the abortion litmus test on a VP candidate is foolish. Mostly because the president has very little power in doing anything about it, and the VP has no power in the issues at all. Any real changes in laws would first have to get through congress, and then past the almighty Supreme Cort.

We need to focus on big issues nationally, such as energy, immigration, and the economy. Social issues like abortion and the homosexual perversion of marriage, although important, are best dealt with on a local and state level where real changes can take place.
