Romney as veep. I'm not sure that I can see it because of the nasty primary campaigning - but it does make sense from McCain's point-of-view.

This should be a campaign strength... as much as Lieberman stumping for McCain..... NOT!!!!

The only ones who like seeing McCain with liberals like Lieberman and even bigger liberals like Romney are Democratic voters who are going to vote for Clinton-Obama anyway.....

GREAT STRATEGY MAC...

McCain needs to totally disappear from all stumps, and sundries.

Jack, due respect, Joe Lieberman is no liberal, and if he is, he's a poor excuse for one. Romney is more of an economic liberal than Lieberman, who is, if anything, a an economic neo-conservative like President Bush, championing the military-industrial-commercial complex as his chief employer in governmental programs.

If McCain were to completely abandon the stump, I wonder if people would notice, or complain?

I believe this is preparing the way for Mitt Romney to become the VP for McCain! McCain said he wanted a Vice President who could help with the Economy! The current polls across America show that the American people want Leaders who can help resolve our Economy woes!

I love Romney. He's a great asset to McCain, especially on the economy.

Since Romney is very conservative I can only take your comments Jack, to mean that you have some other reason to dislike Romney? Perhaps his "religion" me thinks!

This might actually go over well in Lancaster. Lancaster county is a pretty big farm area so he could generate serious draw

Poor Romney. I didn't care much for his candidacy and especially didn't care about the fear-mongering note in which he ended it either. Unfortunately, his own Party's intolerance of his religion doomed his run and his lack of authenticity put the nails in his political coffin. The bigoted wing of the GOP (which is in full force in the South) would have an aneurysm deciding whether to vote against Sen. Obama's race or Romney's LDS religion and could put a few states such as Georgia, Alabama, or Mississippi in peril for McCain. On second thought, maybe Romney should get the veep spot. I would love to see the last relics of hate go down in a blaze.

Makes sense. Romney claimed to be anti-lobbyist when his campaign staff was packed full of them. And same for McCrabby. He claims to be anti-lobbyist, but his staff is loaded with them - lobbyists for the insurance, pharmaceutical, oil companies etc. Birds of a feather fly together, huh?

Romney doesn't necessarily know about the economy from a governing perspective. Just because he he's made himself millions doesn't mean he knows how to handle gov't fiscal policies. And, if you need a barrometer for how he'ld do, just look at his abyssmal record as MA Gov.!

McCain, McWar, McGeritol + the Flip Flopping Freak Mitty = total disaster for the USA

I was sorry Romney didn't win the nomination; I think voters discriminated against him because of his religion. I gotta hand it to the guy for helping someone he obviously doesn't like; that's taking one for the team.

Perhaps that gives Democrats hope that Obama and Clinton can run together on the same ticket? There's no love lost there either, thanks to Hillary 3 a.m. ads.

So can we call him stumpy? Speaking of the family values crowd...how do you guys get around the fact that john mccain dumped the wife who stood by him when he was a POW for the trophy wife with all the money? Jez wondering

McCain & Romney. McCain would make the war mongers happy. Romney would make the rich guys richer. Screw the masses.

Yeah, Romney's an economic genius - how did his presidential campaign go again? Eventually he's gotta face the facts: he's good at hostile takeovers of money-losing companies, firing their workers, and selling them for a profit, but he doesn't know much about political economy and macroeconomics. The sooner he realizes this, the quicker he'll learn to enjoy retirement.

Loser? Romney was worth $350,000,000 before going into politics. I could handle being that kind of loser. It's better than making your money off of BS book deals, like the Audacity of writing your memoirs while you're in your 40's and haven't really accomplished anything.

Wives? Oh yeah, he's a Mormon, how witty. That's very open-minded of you, very understanding, VERY LIBERAL.

Why not make some racists comments about Obama, or sexist comments about Clinton. It's the same thing.
