But Romney’s not that conservative.
Not at all according to his record. I was willing to back him for the nominee because he was saying all the right things and had amazing business experience, which I trust more than political experience. But....him plus McCain still does not equal one true conservative.

And Ronald Reagan was a lifelong Democrat at one point in his life. People who have finally seen the light are the most ardent in many cases. Mitt may be one of them.
You have something there...

I think most real conservatives are already supporting him.
Has there been a poll here lately?

There are few Republicans in the senate who are more liberal than McCain. Most conservative realize that.
I'll second that.

The GOP could run anyone- and I mean anyone- for office and do as well as with McCain - against candidates as dull as Hillary and Obama. Probably better.
McCain has me wishing Bob Dole was back....

When did 61 year old Romney “see the light”? It wasn’t during the Vietnam war when he was living in France, it wasn’t after Roe vs Wade when he was 27 years old, it wasn’t during the Carter years, it wasn’t during the Reagan revolution, it wasn’t during the abortion wars or the fall of the Soviet Union, in fact Romney was against Reagan, and he was pro abortion.
It wasn’t during the Gingrich revolution and the Contract with America, Romney was against the Contract with America, in fact he only gave money to Democrats from 1989 until he decided to register as a republican for the 1994 election.
Romney ran to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy, Romney helped raise money for Planned Parenthood, Romney did not “see the Light” throughout all of the Clinton years, the 2000 election did not turn him, September 11, 2001 didn’t do it, war and the 2004 election didn’t help him “see the light”.
In one of the great political coincidences of all time, Romney had a major transformation into a complete and thorough Conservative just in time to run in the current republican primary, and he spent almost $50,000,000 of his own money to convince us of that instant rebirth from lifelong anti-conservative to leader of all conservatives in only about 30 months.

If somebody of decision making stature is making a decision then I hope it is Mitt. Good looks, young, with money and somewhat conservative is better than not having any of these qualities. He is the right choice.

"Nothing would please me more, than to have Mitt Romney as McCain’s VP choice."
Yes, especially if your goal is the final and complete burial of the national Republican party.
Things that make you go "hmmm...."

Duncan Hunter is conservative and better than the whole lot of other schmucks.
To: Ingtar
No problem, I understand some of the problems that others have with Mitt, and he wasn’t my first choice by a long shot this year but I WOULD have voted for him. I won’t for McBackstabber.

It's astonishing how many FReepers would willing line up to drink his kool-aid and jump off a cliff like lemmings for this $3 phony. The cult of Obama ain't got nothin' on the cult of Precious Willard.

A $100,000,000 advertising campaign for an individual run over a short time can evidently work a sort of miracle.

McCain is bad enough. He doesn't need to make it worse by having an unrepentant gun grabber as his veep. That will make me less likely to vote for the ticket.

A lot of people will be turned off if Romney is the VP, he adds a net minus to the ticket.

“I agree. He needs to choose Mitt. Mitt is also an economic genius...and McCain clearly is not.”
I guess that’s why Romneycare is up to its eyeballs in debt.
