McCain is the real problem with the Republican ticket. People know he’s been as much a Dem. as a Republican. He cedes some of the strongest issues by being little different from Dems. on immigration and even drilling. All he’s conceded on drilling is offshore IF the states agree. I’m sure his $5,000 credit for electric cars will electrify all those fiscal conservatives, evangelicals, etc.
No one is naming any really exciting VP choices. Palin and Jindal need to do the jobs the were elected for before they jump to a national ticket. Pawlenty is very blah. A few I’ve scarcely hear of. Romney is the cream of the possibilities and would be the best campaigner, in the south and elsewhere.
McCain’s leftist positions will cost the ticket more conservative votes than Romney would. Once evangelicals well learn how radical Obama’s positions on abortion and other issues are, they will be very content to vote for a ticket with a Mormon.
Never has a year provided us more evidence that these months out polls are almost meaningless.
Evangelicals may well vote for a McCain/Romney ticket to prevent Obamessiah from rising to the White House, but they will not be 'content' or 'very content' to do so because of the moderate/liberal ticket. But that was a nice try.
Guess again. This "he's not as bad as the other guy" ain't gonna wash. A lot of Republicans sat out 2006 thanks to that schtick. Once again, they just won't show up to vote this year, either. McCain has to repair the damage with Conservatives, but thumbing them in the eye by foisting one of the worst Governors in the country with a record of Socialism and outright fraud will make it that much easier for us Conservatives to tell Juan he can shove it. Picking someone like Gov. Sanford will prove he's remotely sincere in reaching out to Conservatives.
Palin has done the job. She is the most effective Gov of Alaska ever. She is the most popular Gov. and elected official in the U.S.
Re: Myth Romney, it has nothing to do with his religion, the list of his weaknesses is too long, but suffice it to say he is a used car salesman RINO.
McManiac=RINO, Romney=Rino.
