Romney is not the guy for the job. He was
a poor Governor spending much of his
time in New Hampshire. Dug us a big hole
giving us the universal medical plan, so big
that businesses are leaving the state.
Was totally against renewable energy because
most of his upper revenue supporters were from
Cape Cod.
Has NO experience in foreign diplomacy, which
brings us to "what happens if McCain becomes
ill" . The only thing he has is money, which he blew
millions on his failed attempt for office.

Um you were correct Romney then McCain would of been the one who was against Iraq in the beginning. It was Obama who realized that Iraq was a bad idea and a sham. It was McCain who was had horrible judgment and mislead us into believing lies.
That fact that McCain's judgment is bad, and that he has no examples of good judgment is proof enough that Romney is spewing lies.

Many years ago upon entering the work force post-college, I quickly learned a valuable lesson. Age is no indication of maturity and experience is no indication of judgement. If that were the case, we would have never invaded Iraq in the first place and McCain and Bush would not have been celebrating McCain's birthday when New Orleans was drowning under Katrina. McCain is all about military and guns, but that argument is void without respect, humility and the understanding that listening and knowledge is power too.

TOTALLY AGREEE. I OULDN;T AGREE MORE, MITT.

Thanks for the kind words, Shelby! I'm the same Sulla.

I'm in the same boat, Ci2Eye. I started out liking Huckabee, but he lost me in the month before the Iowa caucus. Nothing I've seen from him since has tempted me to rethink my disenchantment.

Romney all the way!!

It's about judgment, my friends:

McCain in controversial Couric interview:

"The fact is we had four years of failed policy. We were losing. We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure and defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world.”

You have to ask, why would you support a president responsible for four years of failure.

“no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.” [John McCain, 03/28/08)

“The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.” [John McCain, 06/19/05]

“I am proud of this president’s strategy in Iraq.” [John McCain, upon receiving endorsement from President Bush, 02/13/08]

Quotes are a living history of our thought processes, how well we think, what we think and when we think it. Even Carly can't change that fact:

“To say that John McCain was aligned with President Bush on the prosecution of the war in Iraq is to change history.” [Carly Fiorina, McCain Campaign Advisor, 07/13/08]

Try this comparison on for size:

Senator McCain: Family Paid Prep Schools (poor grades) and Legacy admittance to Annapolis where he squandered the tax payer's money graduating 5th from bottom of his class (894th out of 899).

Senator Obama: Catholic Grade School & Scholarship (academic) to Prep School; Columbia undergrad on scholarships and loans; Harvard Law (President of Law Review) also on loans (finally paid off less than 10 years ago).

Senator McCain: Advancement in Navy on Legacy of father & grandfather (both Admirals), crashed most planes he flew on the tax payer's money, told he would never make Admiral so he quits, divorces wife #1 because she is severely disabled from an auto accident and no longer pretty enough, but not before he has begun dating wife # 2, whose father is millionaire beer guy, goes to work for daddy-in-law, then runs for office (financed by daddy-in-law) and once again skates on the tax payer's money...and has done so with glee since (oh, yes, let's not forget he's a war hero--like many thousands of others, most of whom don't spend every day reminding anyone who will listen).

Senator Obama: Works for faith-based community organizations in Chicago helping unemployed and disenfranchised; Civil Rights Attorney; Constitutional Law Professor; State Senator; US Senator (and he's only 47 yrs old and married to his one and only wife, who is also accomplished).

Senator McCain: Known to be hot tempered and perpetually angry...ready to fight any war..."I know how to win a war"...really, and what war was that?

Senator Obama: Known to be even tempered and thoughtful. Prepared to fight if necessary; willing and able to use diplomacy; not "anxious" to throw away American lives because he has a temper tantrum (see McCain above).

I watched the video clip embedded in the article of this exchange. All I can say is wow, I didn't know much about Romney but he has my vote now.

I am a Southern Christian (TX) and I agree Huckabee is a disaster and does not represent me. It's time to stop bickering and get behind McCain. I have no problem with Romney.

Mitt Romney will be an outstanding Vice President for all Americans!
McCain/Romney08

Thanks Micah! :)

"MITT ROMNEY IS THE BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. His record of accomplishments is sensational. Harvard Law and MBA cum laude simultaneously, Baker Scholar, created Staples, Timberland, Dominoes Pizza and many more. Was called in to turn Massachusetts into a thriving state and did so working without pay. Begged to save the failing Salt Lakes Olympics and did so brilliantly again refusing compensation. A married man with fine children and spotless record of integrity. He would make a great V.P. for McCain. Only the bigotry of Huckabee and his group of evangelists who disagree with the theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, an organization of 13 million Christians in 130 countries whose charitable and humanitarian projects are legend, including Katrina and tsunami relief, not to mention the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir of which Mitt Romney and some 16 members of Congress are members.

This bigotry should be rejected by McCain and Mitt Romney chosen as his running mate. The two great issues that face America today are Foreign policy and Security and the economy. The combination of McCain Romney is irresistable."

It's interesting that Mitt Romney is able to put his ego aside and work for John McCain - the man who tag teamed with Huckabee to beat up on him! He does so because he loves his country and he knows that Obama would be a nightmare! Huckabee continues to show his ignorance and bigotry. He continues to think his opinion matters - it doesn't.

It is very interesting that some of america is concerned about Romney,
(nevermind Obama's background)
who has a steller backgroud and is a good CHRISTIAN family man.
What has Huckabee done for anyone lately?... other than blow noise .
We Need ROMNEY to help with this economy.

Romney would wipe the floor with any democrat counterpart.

Amen to all who mentioned Huckabee's self-centered attitude. The more I hear about him, the less I think of him. He is only proving he is too full of himself to ever have led this country. Great leaders sacrifice what is good for themselves for what is good for the masses. Romney has done more behind the scenes (not politically related, but serving his community and church without pay or aggrandizement) than most will ever know, and he never mentions it, because he didn't do it for himself, he did it out of concern for his fellow man and his family. My opinion of Romney has only grown...

Born and raised in French Canada (Montreal) to Ukrainian Catholic immigrant parents I always thought of myself as 'multi-cultural' and though of myself as a conservative. I moved to Boston in 2000 for employment opportunities and realized compared to most Bostonians I was in fact quite Liberal. I think that the whole Canadian spectrum is left of center relative to the USA. However, I had the pleasure to see Mitt Romney rise to power as the state governor. I didn't realize just how corrupt the state was until he began to 'clean' it up, and up, and up. The Big Dig, the skimming at the Transit System, the mob in law enforcement and the judiciary, the corruption in government, and on and on. This 'outsider' Mormon came to the Bay State and clean it up like no Catholic could. What an amazing talent. Having family in Ukraine you can imagine how frightened we were about the recent events in Georgia - and we remain so. I'm sorry to say, that Senator Obama complete (100%) failed the 3:00 a.m. test and John McCain shinned. I still think I'm more liberal than most Americans, but I would vote hands down for the McCain Romney ticket - if I could. I 'shrill' at the thought of Senator Obama getting that 3:00 a.m. call. I still haven't applied for citizenship. I'm not sure I will - no offense, I like this country a lot but plan on going back home some day. Romney is they guy to put on the ticket with McCain. Good luck America !

McCain/Romney '08!

I could live with Rice, too, but she doesn't want it.

If McCain wants to WIN he will pick Romney.

One should not judge Romney's popularity by what a few people with alternative motives say. Note that Romney took a STRONG second in the primaries.

Had certain states not been all or nothing like NY/NJ (thanks to Giuliani), it would have been even closer in the electoral count.

For most of the primary race (prior to Florida), Romney was ahead in both popular vote and electoral votes.

These people have not forgotten Mitt, and if they voted for him once, they will vote for him again, to McCain's benefit.

Romney? Seriously? Is the GOP talent pool that shallow that McCain would go with a guy that he clearly despises? That would be a doomed ticket.
