Bring the dough, sell your soul. Sorry, Norm. McCain needs to shore up his base, and picking a sleazy rich liberal with a honesty problem AIN’T gonna get it done. The media will be more than happy to remind the base just how liberal this guy is.

No one's selling their soul. I just see in terms of money, debate/campaign skills, Michigan, Colorado, Nevada, NH, executive and private experience, he bring a lot to the table. Look you aren't going to get an argument from me over Massachusetts. But, DJ, it's Massachusetts for crying out loud. It was going down the tubes long before Romney or even Weld (but I want no argument there either). Romney campaigned as a liberal in 1994 and 2002, yes. He was wrong. But he governed as I'd say right of center, and considering it's Massachusetts that's good enough for me. There is a 'slick' element to Romney, I admit it. But it's not going to override my reason telling me he brings something to the ticket. At the very least he governed right of center (excepting Romneycare) and he campaigned in 2007-08 as right of center (conservative on most issues).
