Big dogs make mucho stinky poo.
Just great! Isn’t that what the moonbats call BJ?
Oh, looks like they FINALLY convicned him......such resistance....so much humility.
This won’t happen. Personal animosity would be difficult to overcome.
“Romney says he’d take Veep, calls McCain “Big Dog”
Mitt, you are wrong. McBoob is the stuff that comes OUT OF THE DOG.
Romney volunteering to carry the pooper scooper?
Romney’s such a suck-up. Aside from that, though, this wouldn’t balance the ticket at all and would give no one any impetus to vote for McCain because of his VP. Romney is just a slightly less unpleasant McCain, and perhaps even a little more liberal.
Right...;^)
"He opened the door to being #2. The correct answer is simple “The selection of a running mate is up to the nominee. I have not been asked and do not expect to be asked. Anything further I would say would be inappropriate and create a distraction for John McCain.” Period. End of answer. End of issue."Is lobbying for Veep only a problem if Huckabee leaves the door or if Romney is practically begging for it.
One liberal on the ticket was one too many. Adding Romney would mean two liberals. No thanks.
Please God, no. There are real conservatives out there who would make fine VPs. And in terms of electibility, there’s a reason or five that Romney didn’t catch on in spite of throwing tens of millions around.
Antoine Carr was the original Big Dog.
I probably won’t vote for McCain, but I sure as hell won’t vote for McCain and Romney.
Romney is the biggest fake this side of when Hillary kisses Bill.
Well this is an interesting turn of events although I don’t know what to make of it.
First, I’m not convinced that Romney means it. Though why’s he throwing it out there? I just can’t imagine McCain and Romney getting along very well. And like someone upthread mentioned, I don’t see Romney as any big vote getter for McCain.
I’d have chosen Romney over McCain and in fact I voted for Romney over McCain. But as a VP candidate to McCain.
I’m a bit underwhelmed.
We’ll see what comes of this.
Maybe Romney can loan some money for McCain’s campaign. He’s going to need it.
LOL! This gives Mitt the chance to flip back to his Massachusetts positions on all the issues.
No "we" here. Speak for yourself. McCain/Romney would be a double nightmare. Besides, Mr. Speech Police would have to go around denouncing his own VP alot, wouldn't he? McCain is going to have to pick some soft spoken lady or something, else the left will just call on him to denounce his own running mate all the time.
Well, no.
McCain must do better than this.
Regardless of how you feel about Romney, the fact is that he does not get votes. He demonstrated miserably that even his millions would not buy votes. And it will take votes to win in November.
Not good.
He’s almost begging for the job. Pathetic!
Romney may not be the perfect choice, but I’ll take him any day over Lindsey Graham, who following McCain around like a lost puppy — including the current trip to the middle east.
McCain is far and away better than what the Dems are offering and at least Romney would give voters something to count on should McCain’s health fail.
There was a tremendous amount of animosity between JFK and LBJ, but Kennedy needed Johnson to get the southern vote and a winning team was born. ;-)
Exactly.
I love it that there are no stories about how McCain is considering Huckabee. That guy is a twerp and I am glad he finally picked up his huge ego and went home.
He already blew his kids’ inheritance.
I agree. A VP pick means nothing other than an attempt to pull a few more voters in. Also McCain isn’t the type to let a disagreement with his VP get in the way of doing whatever in the hell he damned well pleases.
Wow. The anti-McCain crowd is also anti-Romney. Or is it the Huckabee-Tancredo-Hunter FR thread spam axis?
Knock me over with a feather.
Now we’re going to have to read shrill, screaching anti-Romney ditties for the next month. I don’t know if I can take it.
Using terms like “Big Dog” and putting on a show of deference is to be expected of a supplicant, err, applicant for the position of Vice President.
Romney has nothing to offer, but causing McCain to lose the South.
Great!!!
Romney will add the financial experience McCain doesn’t have.
“Using terms like “Big Dog” and putting on a show of deference is to be expected of a supplicant, err, applicant for the position of Vice President.”
Romney also exposed his throat, laid on his back, and exposed his tummy for scratching while moving his rear excitedly.
Romney is a smart and honest technocrat who would probably work his ass off for the public good. I trust the geek.
I don't care what job he takes, Prez, Veep, Cabinet, whatever...
We need to elect a Republican President and get Romney inside national government. He can do good there.
People hate him because he has perfect hair...
And a billion dollars....
And fresh-faced flawless children...
And rock-hard rippling abs...
Oh my God. I think I have a man-crush.
“Yeah. Romney’s a real vote getter. He wowed them in the primaries.”
He could only guarantee Utah’s vote. Huckabee would draw more votes for McCain than Romney every would. Huckabee would shore up the religious conservative base and the Southern vote.
Of course, neither of these men will be McCain’s pick.
Maybe Mitt is planning to put “Big Dog” McLame in a pet carrier, and drive around with him on the roof of his car.

He’s merely waiting for the signal from McCain as to whether or not he’s sucked up enough by calling him “big dog.” I suspect McCain might want him to suck up just a wee bit more, you know, just to make it clear who’s the big dog.
little lindsey has always been mcCain's lap dog

>>”When it comes to national security, John McCain is the big dog, and they are the chihuahuas,” he said.<<
Yep. The big dog that falls asleep on the porch, while the vermin sneak into the corn.
I predict:
—John McCain today condemned remarks by former Governor Mitt Romney that compared the Democratic candidates to chihuahuas.——
Its coming.
..Quite honestly, I don’t think a VP choice means much of anything...
With McCain, it means something, because of his AGE.
