If this article Political Oddsmakers Weigh in on Republican VP Derby - America’s Election HQ is any indication, it appears that My Man Mitt, as in Romney has a very good chance to be Sen. John "F--- You" McCain's choice for Vice-President.
Yes, I know that there has been all this talk in the Dinosaur, Drive-By, Mainstream Media that the two have hated each other's guts. Firstly, that has been way overblown as it was a campaign and in a campaign, a lot is said and done. But, if a candidate wants to win, usually they choose a candidate that they feel will fit that bill. And, despite what Rassmussen says, Mitt is the one to do it.
One thing that may be overlooked by the Romney haters is that Mr. Romney was the only Republican candidate to actually take on Sen. "F--- You McCain. And that is important because as the vice-presidential candidate, he will be the attack dog. Sen. "F--- You" McCain has to look and act presidential. Sen. "F--- You" McCain can no longer be the maverick. He is now the big cheese. He has to close ranks.
I can not think of a better way to close ranks than to choose Mr. Romney.
As far as the others are concerned, even Sen. "F--- You" McCain seems to realize that former Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge is a non-starter. Since Mr. Ridge is pro-choice and Sen. "F--- You" McCain himself said that the candidate should be pro life, forget Mr. Ridge. And the same for Miss Rice. And, she has no elected office experience. She will make a great Republican candidate for California governor in 2010.
For the also-rans, is it not interesting that the Rev. Mike Huckabee has 40-1 odds at being the VP choice? I think he ran his campaign way too long and that did not endear himself to Sen. "F--- You" McCain. And, unlike Mr. Romney, I think that he will turn off more voters than he can bring in.
One last thought. We are told that the presidential candidates like to bring in a candidate that will potentially win them a tough state. That has not happened since 1960 when Democrat John Kennedy chose then Sen. Lyndon Johnson. And that was a easy choice because Mr. Johnson was able to steal enough votes along with the Chicago Daley Machine to win the election. Nothing like that has happened since then and nothing indicates that it should be a serious consideration this time. For either party.
I think that Sen. "F--- You" McCain has made up his mind, but is waiting to let us know what it is. And, I am always hopeful that the choice will be Mitt Romney.

he may well be his veep choice 64. mccain is going to have to try and balance himself on the tight rope of being a maverick and a conservative, and his running mate has to equal this approach.
