Even NPR touting Romney Veep potential?
Ambivalent is how I feel about NPR publishing a story touting Romney for Veep. Nonetheless, there does seem to be a critical mass of press about Romney’s Veep potential this last week or two, doesn’t there? Some key quotes:
Romney’s polish as a stand-in, combined with his business success and reassuring demeanor, look better and better as the economic issue ascends. Romney could help out in Michigan, where his name still works. He would also be at least some help in his other home regions of New England and the Mountain West.
Romney was also the guy who would have won in Iowa without the presence of evangelical preacher Mike Huckabee. Romney, who beat McCain soundly in Michigan, surely would have done so again in South Carolina and Florida if he had not been splitting the conservative vote in those states four ways with Huckabee, Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani.
Wow, that’s quite an endorsement from an MSM stalwart like NPR. I totally agree with the sentiment but…it’s NPR!

I don’t know, I am so dubious. I am so afraid that McCain will “pull a fast one”! What do we do then? What do we do if he choses some unqualified bozo???? Argh~! I hope and pray it is Romney so we can get this thing going! I think in alot of ways, it would be good to get this off the ground so that they could get going on campaigning and making the rest of America love MITT. I know not everyone will catch the vision, but I cannot help but think there are alot of people who could learn to understand him better. Perhaps earlier would be better. I have butterflies!

Well KKSM, in my opinion its up to McCain himself if he wants our votes. How he makes this decision is probably a big indicator of how he will govern. As a Senator you are one vote among many. As President your single yes(sign) or no(veto) vote is final, unless congress can get a supermajority to override you. This is a decision McCain has to make for himself, and his decision will tell me all I need to know about making my own decision of whether to vote for him.
