I put this thread to reach 4 figures of posts of heated discussion.

I know Michiganers. They love the Romney family, and we saw it during the Michigan primary.

How about you knock it off!

There are some of us who have a line we will not cross. One of those lines for me is I will never cast a vote for someone who is pro-abortion.

It would violate my personal code of what is right and wrong. So flail away, nothing will change my mind on that. If McCain goes with a pro abortion guy, I won't be casting a vote in the Presidential race this year.

I also don’t think McCain wants to pick Romney because I don’t think he likes Romney. Plus Romney comes with negatives. A guy like Pawlenty that nobody ever heard of makes more sense because the focus will stay on McCain and not be dragged down.

No, this slimebag changed 4 years ago from what I hear.

You may be correct, but Pawlenty = boring.

Do you really think Romney would stoop to that? If anything, it would get him to disqualified. No one, especially not McCain, likes to be strong-armed. That would be a good way to get your name taken off the list.

Why would a person who will not be running the show have any such impact as that? VPs do what presidents delegate them to. Romney will do no different than (etc.)

You are missing the big picture.

McCain is the oldest major party candidate for President ever, and he has had a serious health problem in the recent past. He could easily be a one-termer (or less). This is why some people (including me) have swallowed hard and agreed to put vice-grips on our noses and vote for McCain so he can be a placeholder... if, and ONLY if, he chooses a solid conservative running mate. Obviously.

Anyone that can blow a taylor made candidate like McCain away in Michigan can sure as heck help carry the state. McCain-Romney are made for Michigan.

I think this is a red herring. The campaign wants to change the headlines about McCain’s houses and break into the Obama veep watch story.

I have to agree. In the last 2 months, we have definitively had Lieberman as the one,
Huckabee,
Romney,
Crist,
and a slew of others.

McCain would be stupid to reveal the name before Obama and Dem convention.

convince me Romney is Conservative and not a Pro-Abortion Socialist. Show me. Please.

Frankly Scarlett, I don’t think you are really interested and if you were there is ample evidence of a positive nature to match the tons of manure so easily found on utube, and the net. Why do you suppose someone would go to such efforts to trash someone, and so easily lead you and a host of others to think negatively about a potential candidate?
