“McCain may have been a bit too maverick in his VP choice. He was repeatedly advised to pick a known finance whiz. We’ll see.”
Mitt Romney as VP is looking awfully good right now.
Yes, I’m sure Mitt Romney would have had the impact of Sarah Palin. If he picked Romney, Lieberman, or Ridge I would have written in Ronald Reagan, along with a good percentage here.
Mitt Romney was good when he hosted “Love Connections”, he has no business being on a REPUBLICAN national ticket.
McCain appeals to a lot of independents and to a healthy percentage of democrats who supported Hillary. These groups are genuinely concerned that McCain threw away his ‘experience’ argument, and a chance to have the ONLY ticket prepared to address the economy. Palin has her attributes, but serious swing voters (who may be crucial) are nervous about McCain’s judgment and his age. With a finance whiz on the ticket McCain can definitely win. It is being whispered that Gov. Palin should do a Harriet Miers for the good of the country.
enough of this Romney stuff. He was never “all that” on fiscal issues anyway. (examples: health insurance, his success in the Winter Olympics was mainly due to securing federal grants that McCain opposed, support for ethanol subsidies, etc)
Now if you said Mark Sanford...ok that would be something else.
