Michael Steele

I absolutely like that man! He is top notch - and would, down the line, make a much better first 'black' president - he wouldn't hand the store over to the marxists.

He's got a great family -

I've plugged him for a year - but I could take Romney too.

Romney would be the economic balance to McCain's military -

I wonder if we shouldn't realize that McC might not make it through a full term, let alone two.

Whoever we run for VP this time will likely be the next Pres. (If we win) -

Nutso.

He won’t offer it and she wouldn’t accept it.

Ditto on Steele.

Also agree with you that whoever we pick as VP this time will likely be the next President — whether or not we win.

Careful with Steele. He endorsed the rino in MD’s 1st congressional district (who lost) and is part of that new “mainstream” (liberal) Maryland Republican group. He’s having too much fun at the NY Times cocktail parties and wants the media to like him.

BUT he lost in Maryland !
As great as he is, he would be immediately thought of by the mostly ‘unthinking electorate’ as a loser! The press would immediately label him with that. There would be these constant off-the-cuff references like, ‘Well you know Ted, Steele lost his bid to be senator’. He would constantly have that albatross to deal with.
