Romney would take Ohio from the McCain and push it back to BO.

The more attention the media focuses on this loser, the worse Obama looks. He can’t handle the attention because he is naive, inexperienced,confused, and really has no direction or program except to get elected. If he switches on off-shore drilling he looses, if he doesn’t he looses.

If things continue this way, that lucky Irish-American John McCain may just pull out a miracle by doing little or nothing while his opponents implode before him.

Its really sweet watching Dems first slit eachother’s throats, then look like idiots trying to pretend their “Emperor” is wearing new clothes!!!

Wow!

Just wait until he starts campaigning!

I have a feeling that we'll be saying the same thing in the last week of October.

This campaign reeks of the Dole disaster - I guess Dole either thought he had no chance, or that he was entitled to the position because of his resume. Even though I don't much care for McCain, I hope he doesn't sit on his duff like Dole for much longer, as I think that Obambi the Obamessiah will be a huge disaster for us on many fronts.

Of all the top-ranked potential VP picks I've seen, Mitt Romney is the best orator, and has the best command of the issues, and would be the best attack dog against the Dems. He will fire up the McCain campaign like no one else. My opinion.

Why settle for Romney. How about Gov. Mark Sanford - young, with executive experience, a proven economic conservative (he once went to the state house with 2 pigs, to criticize the Republican-controlled legislature that overrode some of his vetoes). He also won against in incumbant Dem governor, and is a genuine conservative on a multitude of issues (and he'll only be 56 in 2016).

Mitt Romney would cost McCain considerably in the South. The anti-Mormon bias here is much stronger than is realized outside the area. Romney is a dividing factor, not a resume enhancer. As the McCain advisor put it, “Romney costs us with all the groups we are trying most to win over.”

Governor Mark Sanford will be the anti-Romney in many senses - and he'd ensure a super-solid South for McCain.

(Actually, the response I’ve been waiting for is, “When he campaigns, his numbers will drop!”)

I have long felt this was another “Hey! It’s my turn!” campaign. But he’d better d****d well get his hinder in gear, maybe play the Rocky theme-song or something, and get the heck going.

I hope someone in that campaign has a clue.

In Madison WI - where you still see thousands and thousands of tattered John Kerry bumper stickers on cars you would expect as many O stickers and yard signs. Not so. I drove around the rich, white and left neighborhoods this past weekend, and guess what? Only a very few signs on either cars or lawns. Maybe all the lesbians are still mad about Hillary. But it is kind of odd.

If you remember in the primaries.. Hillary won some of those places in huge landslides.

That’s a change I can believe in. As of right now, I still cannot vote for McCain, but as he keeps his mouth shut, he keeps helping me limp that direction.

Get real. Romney was the second highest vote getter in the Republican primaries, and he remains very popular among a signifigant majority of the conservative base, including Limbaugh, Coulter, Hewitt, Hannity, Beck, Gallagher, National Review editorial board, and millions of others.

He is disliked by a small group of unconsolable people.

Romney's positives would far outweigh any negatives, most of which are in the minds of those who are obsessed.

I am real and I am telling you what I hear from people here in Ohio. Ohio tends to be full of independants and those who aren’t that conservative. If Romney is the VP choice then McCain loses Ohio. I mean it, no two ways about it.

Doesn't Ohio have a very large Mennonite and Amish population? What's to turn them off from a Mormon then?
