Romney would have been fine with me, as either President or VP. Though I think as the VP candidate, he might well have made McCain look old and weak, and thus have been a less than ideal pick. He’d have been a lot better than Palin, however . . . as would about 100 other possible VP picks. If Romney (or any of the other 100 or so) had been picked, we wouldn’t be witnessing a gathering media storm speculating as to whether the VP nominee would be withdrawn before Election Day.
I don’t doubt at all that you feel that way.
