Best case scenario in my opinion. It would take the age issue off the table. It would bring the Romney organization and fundraising skills to the party.
Best of all, it would give Mitt four years as VP to prove his conservative bonafides. I see him as a decent guy but have to wonder whether the stuff that went on in the People's Republic of Massachusetts was really the best he could really do given the restrains of such a hopelessly ultraleft constituency.
In any case, you've got to love Wyoming. Rudi McHuckster didn't even place! And Duncan Hunter in third! Kudos to Wyoming!
I would like to see Mitt as VP. He seems like he might be conservative; if he is, in fact conservative, he should be happy being the VP for Fred Thompson. If he isn't really a conservative, I don't think he'd be so happy there, and I think it should show.
A Thompson/Romney ticket could well work to the benefit of both people. Even if Romney has a plurality of delegates at the convention, there are going to be a lot of people strongly opposed to his taking the nomination. If enough of those people are willing to accept a Thompson/Romney ticket, then Romney--by accepting such a role--would put himself in the catbird seat in 2012.
I agree!! It kind of tells you how much support those three could count on from the conservative base in a general election.
