MEG WHITMAN JOINS MCCAIN
Check this email from Spencer Zwick I just received. For those who may not know, Spencer was the national fundraising chairman for Governor Romney. For those who don’t know, Whitman was the CEO of E-Bay and is worth well over $1 billion:

Hi everyone,
First and foremost, thank you for your tireless dedication and support
for Governor Mitt Romney. We were part of an amazing campaign together,
and throughout the course of a year, we were blessed to make friends
that will last a lifetime.As we look to our future, it is important that we take action to keep
our party strong in this critical point in history. Just as Governor
Romney has, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain in order to do
my part in making sure the right person wins this election. I will serve
as a National Co Chair and hope that you will join me in this important
effort. I look forward to continuing to work together.All the best,
Meg

Is the pro-Mitt Romney VP, anti-, or neutral?
March 14th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
We need to send the sam message to Meg. NO MITT - NO MONEY - NO VOTE
We must take the lead in pressuring McCain to choose Mitt as VP. All of the puzzle pieces will fall into place with the strong Romney supporters endorsing McCain.

I’m with you. Last night I watched Sean Hannity interview McCain, and McCain sounded good on making the tax cuts permanent, cutting out pork, tightening the borders, picking new judges, but when he started putting Huckabee in his list of potential vp nominees, and when I thought back to him buddying up with Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary, Obama and the rest of those libs, voting against the Bush taxcuts, being one of “the gang of fourteen”, “McCain Feingold Act”, “McCain Kennedy Bill” I got up and turned the interview off.
All I have to do to thoroughly despise McCain is to remember how he viciously attacked Mitt in one of the debates over waterboarding, and then McCains outright lie about Mitt not supporting the surge.

Look, I as with everybody else has lingering emotions of animosity and even anger towards John… but we can’t change the past, we can only change the future. I highly advise you to have a Kumbaya moment and do all you can to elect McCain - everything is riding on him: the war, supreme court justices, economy, etc.
Romney is making due with his promise; another sign Romney will be the VP.
March 14th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
The funny thing - and the thing to always remember about McCain - is trhat he didn’t win anything because of his attacks or what he said - he won by getting the small plurality of votes needed from people who are disengaged from the debate. That’s probably why he’ll be the next president too. Don’t think about the details too much. Mitt knows this - ands is just trying to make the most of the situation. Someday Mitt may be president. For the time being McCain is gonna have to do.
March 14th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
I’m still a believer in No Mitt-No Money. Gov Romney is the best candidate for VP.I hope and pray that John McCain will see the light and ask Mitt Romney to be the VP very soon.
Until, the RNC will get the message, No Mitt-No Money-No Vote.

Hey Vic, could you help a fellow blogger?

As a woman I think Baraak is a very nice looking man, but in the sense that he has a nice face, some men can be very handsome, but not have that face that people are instinctively attracted to. He looks like a very nice guy you would love to have as a neighbor. Looks can be deceiving though. Never judge a book by its cover!!!
March 14th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Hummmmmmmm, I don’t know why I wrote that. Must have had a very crazy moment. I agree with myself, don’t get me wrong, but I have been watching Bill O’Reilly and Baraak Obama’s church scares me ALOT!! The fact that Obama had him as his preacher for 20 years!!! That is awful in itself, but then he drops him when he realized it was in his best interest for the chances for winning the Presidency to do so. TWENTY YEARS!!!!
That seems awfully like someone without any loyalty or brains at all!! Is he self destructive??? He needed to look at all aspects of his life with a magnifying glass, and get rid of stuff like this. I am sure grateful for my church!!!

Vic, I got the email as well, and replied to Spencer with the following:
“Hi Spencer, thanks for the news. I would be happy to support McCain IF Mitt is on the ticket. If not, I will still likely vote for McCain, but for anything beyond that, he can go pound sand.”
We should all email Spencer (SZwick@mittromney.com) with those kinds of messages and make sure that McCain knows that he’s got to do more than just get Meg to sign up as a national co-chair to get us Romney supporters to start digging trenches.

I’m with you David, I just sent Spencer an email telling him, no Mitt, no money, no time, no vote.
March 15th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Could it be, with so many of Romney’s people signing up with McCain, that a decision has already been made to put Mitt on the ticket? The biggest problem is that Mitt will outshine the top of the ticket in every aspect. And I think McCain knows it.
March 15th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
You have a point, all of you. I agree. No Mitt, No time, and maybe not vote. I am so scared about the Dems taking control of this country that I will probably vote for McCain even if Romney isn’t on the Ticket. I will go see if I got that email. Then I will send him the exact same message and add on one more thing. “Get the anouncement out quickly. Don’t wait for the Democrats to stop squabbling.”
March 16th, 2008 at 2:27 am
Bobinator, I hope you are right! That would be good and I would be happy for it. I think you are right though that McCain is threatened by Mitt, I think it has ever been thus… People know when they are out classed. Mitt is a classy guy. I read a funny thing about him being somewhere and a young girl (maybe 14) wanted to have her picture taken with him. Then, she asked if she could touch his hair because she thought it was just so cool! I thought that was pretty cute actually. It definitely shows a human side.

Bobinator:
I wouldn’t doubt it; too much pressure on him too not.
Sarah:
I highly disagree with the side you and other people are taking. It isn’t about who’s up or down, it’s the future of not only this country, but of the world. The most powerful man/woman on Earth is the president of the United States of America! We need McCain.
KKSM:
McCain is threatened by McCain, he’s been through a LOT worse. Mitt is on a whole different spectrum that McCain or even Mike Huckabee. Mitt loves kids and he is just a human being. People judge by looks, not character.
March 16th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Steve,
Thanks for disagreeing. I am pleased to expound on why I am saying what I am saying. I will make this as short as possible. We need to take a hard stand with McCain. Saying “No Mitt, No Money” is a sure way to send a very clear message to him that we want Mitt as our VP candidate. Will I still vote for Mccain? Yes.
March 16th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Oh and one more thing. When I said “Don’t wait till the Democrats stop fighting” I meant that. We want to win the White House. This is politics. One Set of Prinicipals needs to win over the other. Otherwise people just get confused. The faster we get the announcement out, the better. In my opinion.

GO MITT!
Lets chant… MITT for Vice Prez! He’s the best choice!
He is well known nationally already… so take the best use of the awareness- a lot of people… I did not know before were VERY upset when they learned that Mitt dropped out. They wish they had done more much earlier for him. So, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are feeling the same thing. So, Mitt has the chance in boosting the Republican Ticket! GO MITT!
Look, if Mitt is not on the ticket, then no vote!
GO MITT! GO MITT! GO MITT!…
Hey! It has rejuvenated my emotions… those of you who have the abliity to access to Republican insiders… PUSH for McCain/Romney Ticket! He’s second in number of delegates… what does it tell… America wanted him… GO MITT!
