In 1980, Reagan picked Bush - his main rival for the nomination.
Reagan proved he was a big man - magnanimous, and a uniter.
Obama wasn't big enough to pick his main rival and unite the party.
If McCain picks his main rival - Romney - he'd not only get the perfect foil against Biden, but he'd prove ONCE AGAIN that he's a bigger man than Obama.
Or he could pick Sarah Palin (which might help attract Hillary supporters), and prove he's confident in himself enough to pick a lesser experienced person as his Veep.
I prefer Mitt.

Despite the Dems and the allied main stream media’s desperation to see Romney as McCain’s Veep, Mitt is clearly out, with (1) Obama doubling down on the class warfare theme (McCain’s 7 houses) and (2) McCain doubling down with ads showing the hypocrisy of Biden attacking Obama in the primaries — Romney did way more than that contra McCain.
ReplyDeleteThis leaves only Govs Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty. Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..
And if there’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com
Team McCain, well done!!!
why should mitt be out?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteit makes no sense.
he made all of his millions by his own efforts.
his wealth is testament to the American dream.
ALSO: mccain owns ZERO houses.
palin undercuts mccain's argument for his own effot: if being the most fit to become comannder in chief is the center of the contest, then you cannot name as veep a woman who is not ready to be commander in chief.
it will be mitt or ridge.
