Follow The Money: McCain to Pick Mitt Romney As Running Mate

This is why many people like an airline captain with a little silver around the temples...

Superb comparison. The media has always been smitten with the youth culture, but the reality is that we as a nation are aging (am I really this old???) and the views of the "older" Americans are often significantly underestimated (unless NBC News wants to blast a Republican president for old ladies eating dog food).

Romney friendly to gays, here is one of many quotes: “I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
Linked source; a 4 page article from a gay website, they see him as friendly to them: http://www.gay.com/news/article.html?coll=news_articles&sernum=2007/01/12/6&page=3

Romney not pro life; link is first item that Google shows:

We have been over this ground before. Romney's positions are well known and they are not conservative. McCain's are not much more conservative.
I could much easier support McCain however, if he would get a solid conservative to be on the ticket with him.

But 2 moderates on the ticket makes it a much less attractive draw.

You want to vote for more Ruth Bader Ginsbergs, go ahead. Just don’t cry about it after the retirement and nomination of about 3 SC Justices by Obama.

From the looks of it Obama and his people will be defining and sliming John McCain all summer. Make him look like a doddering old fool. Weak and ineffectual.

So John McCain names Mitt now to be VP and fight fire with fire. Mitt can beat Obama with quick wit and rhetoric any day of the week. Mitt has to be more strident and point to his experience and McCain’s. Paint Obama as a stupid no drill for oil ultra liberal

Would you prefer McCain dies and President *omney appoints 3 Stalinists to the bench ? Go take a look at his appointments in MA. Pro-criminal, pro-gay rights. Yeah. Like I said, if McCain is that pig-ignorant stupid to pick a failed liberal loser like Joe Isuzu as his running mate, the GOP loses in November... and it will DESERVE to.

Oh Bull! Don’t start this garbage again! Romney is not a Hillary and he has a lot more business sense than McCain. Is he perfect? Not by any stretch. But he will suffice.

[seekthetruth]

“I think Romney would have been a better choice to stay on the conservative side of immigration than McCain. But McCain’s the hand we’ve been dealt. Third parties need not apply.”

Yes, and Romney would have been on the conservative side on keeping the terrorists at GITMO and drilling here and now! Romney is certainly more conservative than McCain. It would make it easier for me to vote for McCain if he were to pick Romney as VP, but I just don’t think he will.

[fieldmarshaldj]

What experience ? Appointing liberals and killing and burying the MA GOP ? *omney is a perfect running mate... for Obama.

Oh, go back to the aluminum factory!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Truth hurts, babe. Are you guys REALLY that anxious to lose to Obama ?

[CaliforniaCon]

Yesterday I said Mitt would be my choice but that McCain should not play his hand until after the Dem’s convention.

Whether or not this supposed “Co-ed” magazine piece is true, I’m now flip-flopping!

Yes, today I think McCain should name Romney now and get him out there on the campaign trail!!!

[K-oneTexas]

"...Romney would have been on the conservative side"
I argued that he during the Primaries ... did not seem to matter to most. Romney was more Conservative than McCain and a has more leadership skills and has a better than most working knowledge of the economy and how it works.

I'd like a McCain/Romney ticket ... but I think we'll get a McCain/'not well known' ticket.

Wow, the list is being used twice in two days. It's a sign, I tell you. : ) Comments welcome.

Bethtopaz you're on the list. I hope you get this ping.

[dennisw]

Are you an idiot? Do you want McCain to win or Obama? I could give a f what Romney did in Massachusetts....

Well not really. I know he was a much better governor than any Democrat

Just wait till you get Obama elected and he starts taxing you to death

[Blogger]

Calling Romney a Stalinist is truth? Go study a little history and get back to me when you aren’t making such asinine statements.

[Blogger]

If the “not well known” is someone like Portman, he would get well known soon enough and would be a smart pick for conservatives.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“Don’t start this garbage again!”

What garbage????? People quote Romney’s positions and it is garbage? Why?
The fact is that Romney is not a conservative, and he tried to pass for one, and he was called out for it. The stuff I posted with an earlier post were just 2 simple Google searches on his positions.

“Is he perfect? Not by any stretch. But he will suffice.”

Romney adds nothing to the ticket. A conservative on the ticket might actually add some excitement.

Romney as VP will elect President Obama.

[dennisw]

You know and I know.
McCain will dither and go downhill all summer long unless he selects Romney now

[TAdams8591]

What do you do, sit around all day waiting for a Romney thread to pounce upon?

"Are you guys REALLY that anxious to lose to Obama?"

No but your are.

[Blogger]

Taxing him to death is the least of my concerns. Obama’s choices concerning federal judgeships should be enough to scare the bejeebers out of any sane person! Want the 9th circuit in every court in the US? Fine. Keep dissing our guys.
