McCain's Vice President? Mitt Romney As Running Mate

Rasmussen ^ | May 8, 2008 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

To be honest, I hope Mitt would turn McCain down for the VP slot and that Mitt would continue meeting regular Republicans across America and just become more well known in Conservative circles. Let McCain pick Joe Liebermann and have a go at a Centrist Coallition trying to win the election, Conservatives or people who hold those views really do not need to mix up with John McCain,

You betcha!!

Conservatives need to mix up with people like Mitt Romney who didn't have the moral courage to even condemn abortion, who said that he believed that gays should be in the Boy Scouts and who repudiated Ronald Reagan.

Yep, that's what Conservatives ought to be doing, by golly!

[South40]

I think most real conservatives are already supporting him.

Actually, they don't. And most polls show that.

But you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

"I would like to see Romney for VP if only to see the anti-Romney people here on FR blow a gasket."

Lol!

[EternalVigilance]

he staked for himself a position as leader for the conservative future.

[Arguendo]

Link to a poll showing that most conservatives don’t support McCain against either Obama or Clinton?

[rdb3]

Grazie!

[Reagan Man]

There is no comparing Romney to Reagan. Expediency and not principle has marked Romney’s political career.

At one time or another Romney has betrayed the Constitution, the Contract With America, the Republican Party and Reaganism. Hardly conservative qualities.

Romney is a phony.

[org.whodat]

Romney might bring some of those folks back.

If Willard is the answer, what in the world could be the question. LOL

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>I would like to see Romney for VP ...

You liberals sure stick together.

[Tennessee Nana]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

No thanks...

McCain needs a conservative ...

Not a RINO..

[padre35]

Indeed, seeing as RR was 30 years ago in a different America, by all means, let’s toss in the Communists being Evil, that should garner mass support..

[South40]

Link to a poll showing that most conservatives don’t support McCain against either Obama or Clinton?

Did I say they supported Hillary or Obama over McCain? No. I said they don't support McCain and they don't.

There are few Republicans in the senate who are more liberal than McCain. Most conservative realize that.

As for the polls, do your own research.

[ladyjane]

Wow, what a reaction. All I said was that Romney might bring some of those folks back. Of course Romney might drive a whole bunch away! I am sooo tired of this election already.

[God luvs America]

agreed....

[Sun]

Senator McCain is a “moderate” and needs someone much more conservative than Romney.

I like Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. John Thune and Rob Portman, and a few others, for VP.

[Arguendo]

I didn’t claim they supported Hillary or Obama over McCain, I just claimed they support McCain (presumably as opposed to voting third-party or staying home).

Polls showing conservatives preferred other candidates in the primary are obviously irrelevant.

[elkfersupper]

Palin is too green, save her for 2012 she'll have six years under her belt.

Gary Johnson would never do that.

[elkfersupper]

I think most real conservatives are already supporting him.

What?????

“And Ronald Reagan was a lifelong Democrat at one point in his life.”

---

It makes a difference what decade something takes place.

Reagan starting to stir national recognition as a conservative in the late 1940s after long service in the U.S. Army and Reserves is different than Romney becoming conservative within the last 36 months after staying liberal throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000, and even 2004.

[Arguendo]

He might not be anyone’s favorite, but most fiscal conservatives will be happy to vote for him come election day.
