It’s beginning to look more and more like Mitt’s the man.

And.. with the troubled economy.. Mitt’s financial credentials would be a big plus.

"Mitt’s financial credentials would be a big plus."

Aside from the fact that he made a ton of money as a venture capitalist (doesn't hurt that he had a pretty good chunk of change to start with) I don't really see what his "financial credentials" are that would fix this economy.

I have worked with a lot of VC guys. Some are very smart, some are unbelievably corrupt, but to a person, if they made it big, they would admit to having been in the right place at the right time and with money sufficient for the ante.

If the ability to make a lot of money were sufficient qualifications for the office, George Soros would be an ideal candidate.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Mitt. And I would vote for the ticket if he's the VP, but he's not exactly Milton Friedman.

Yep it was great!

I just think Romney brings so much to the ticket.

He brings top knowledge of the economy during troubling financial times.

He brings with him the support of many voters in Michigan.

He can also help attract the younger vote I think too.
He’s polished and ready to go to work on day 1.

Plus.. he got more votes than anyone besides Mccain in the primaries.

And here’s the other thing..

I watched Mccain being interviewed on Greta tonight in the back of a bus.

It was dark and he wasn’t mic’d up. Who is Mccain’s PR person!?

They should have never let him go on the show like that.

We need someone with a little polish to them who knows how to win people over.

That’s Mitt!

Me too. Romney is the only way he can re ignite his campaign. At least Romney is a fighter. He will really give it to Hussein which McJuan won't. But if he picks some no name RINO, I will roll over and go back to sleep, and probably sleep through the election.

Exactly it needs to go away!

On O’Reilly tonight they showed some guy in Kansas who was willing to do “any” abortion for 5000 dollars.

The governor of Kansas called him a “Health Care Provider”

I agree that polish is a good thing. If George Bush were truly articulate he would have had much more success. But the glib and facile speaker is not always the wisest decision-maker.

Yeah and I’m not saying polish is everything.

But that interview Mccain did with Greta needed a lot of work lol.

Sitting in the back of a dark bus and not mic’d up.

Mccain needs help!

Many are confused as to whom to support. The Pre-Birth Abortion will be the decider. Sticking a knife into a baby's head brought to term is attributable only to Satan.

If McCain picks Romney, as he may very well do, I will enjoy immensely sticking it to you as often as possible for for the sheer pleasure of annoyance value. Hope Mitt gets VP so I can start sharpening my verbal stiletto to use with relish upon you, you lucky man.

He has a kink in his financial genius too.

2 Billion dollar over run in the next ten years in his “centerpiece” universal health car plan.

From the Cato Institute, not famous as a den of liberals, nor “deranged Mitt haters”

Just the facts...

Well, of course you’ll enjoying sticking it to me, flagloony. You’ll laugh every time the RINO tag team duo of Juan and *omney cause the loss of more Republican held House, Senate seats, Governorships, statewide offices, Mayoralties, state legislative seats, councilmanic offices and dogcatchers from coast to coast.

The death of the GOP you cheer on every day, honeybuns. It’s what all you liberals want. You’re just mad because I expose your nefarious agenda to help elect more liberal Democrats like your buddy Joe Isuzu *omney.

You’re probably right, since old Joe just wanted to unload some lemon cars. Our Joe (*omney) wants to unleash liberal rodentry on the nation at large and to bury an entire political party.

Such total hypberbole should not unwatched go. Nor will it. I will be laughing at you, toots, come November, assuming McCain chooses Romney, which each day it looks more like he will. He wants Michigan in his column. So, blather on, sweetey, you are preaching your bile to no one, as no one listens to you anymore (we’ve heard it all before). You know the difference between a winner and a loser? Mitt is a winner. That makes you.....
