because if it’s McCain or Brown, we respectfully won’t take the advice of RINOS.

You're kidding, those quislings? They are in the wuss camp all the way.

“Romney’s achilles heel is his McCain style campaign approach.”

Exactly. I’d figured that Romney, with so many successes in business, would be a barracuda when it comes to winning this election. I wsas wrong. Milquetoast.

We have many winds at our back, a great VP pick
*******************
You have managers and assistant managers. The VP is simply an assistant manager to the manager. He/she has to do the bidding of the manager and has no authority to really do anything other than talk.

Don’t get too excited because Ryan is only there for show and nothing else. If the GOP wins the election Ryan will be saddled with all of the work Romney gives him with all of the responsibility and no authority.

The ticket should be Ryan/Romney.

IMHO...he runs better with his mouth shut.

Whatever Romney says or does not say Obama and the Lamestream Media (e.g., DNC communication central)will tear it apart. Why should he give them any more? I recall the last campaign - Obama - Hope and Change, I am going to fundamentally transform America - - what the heck was specific about that??? Obummer spoke in a way in which each of his supporters heard what they wanted to hear.

Romney has mentioned his 5 point plan for getting the economy on track on stump speeches and at the Convention. I don't recall all of them but they include: Making the USA energy independent (opening pipeline, coal, gas, etc.), removing regulations, helping small businesses, etc.

He's also a supporter of Israel and has said many times that Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel.

I suspect Romney will come out with more, but in his own time (perhaps some zingers during the debates).

In the meantime, the economy continues to tank, yet another QE, US embassies are burning around the World, and Obama is doing just fine.

I don’t believe that Mr. Romney did himself any good by responding the same day the crisis was in process. He would have been wise to wait a day or two for more facts to emerge. I don’t believe it would be wise for Democrats to respond the same day as a crisis for a Republican president was happening, but the things you mention were being campaigned about weeks, months, and years after they happened.
