Mitt Romney: The Key to President Obama

We will likely know late next week if John McCain will tap Mitt Romney to be his vice president.  That choice would likely be the biggest boost to Obama.

Mitt Romney is known by many as "multiple choice Mitt."  He was the governor of one of the (if not THE) most liberal states in the nation, he was pro-choice until 2 years ago, and he's worth double the money of Cindy McCain.  

He also tried to buy himself an election, and failed.  All Mitt will do is add another 5% to McCain's vote total in Utah.

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.

This 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!!!

@Ted
McCain picking Palin would have been like Obama picking Kaine. A newcomer with not so much experience.

And I think its even more important for McCain's VP to be ready on day 1, since McCain is 72 years old.
