I THINK That Mitt's The Man

Ok, ok, I did not go out of the box on Sen. Messiah Barack's eventual choice for his running mate, Sen. Blowhard Biden. I really thought that he was going to double-down and run all out on change and pick the Virginia governor, Tim Kaine.
So, I think that Sen. John "F--- You" McCain is not going to inflame the base and try to be cute by a half. No Sen. Joe Lieberman. No Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. No outliers.
It has come down to a couple of governors. One current and one ex-governor.
The current governor is Minnesota's Tim Pawlenty. He is an early McCain backer and never wavered. Sort of a wonk, may not be enough of an attack dog against Sen. Blowhard Biden.
That leaves the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. He was the only Republican to go right up in Sen. "F--- You" McCain's grill, so to speak. Thus, Mr. Romney fills several criteria.
One, he has a private-sector background. He has actually created wealth and jobs. And he was the governor of arguably the most liberal state in the nation, Massachusetts. Most important, he is not a senator and can easily fill the role as a Washington outsider. Imagine Sen. Blowhard Biden, a senator since Richard Nixon was president, trying to argue with Mr. Romney who would be a better Washington outsider.
Also, I have to think that Sen. "F--- You" McCain pays attention enough to the base to know that he has begun to be seen by most Republicans and defiantly conservatives as the best number two choice.
I would point to at least two online polls, one at National Review and one on AOL.com that show rank-and-file Republicans favor Mr. Romney.
Now, unless Sen. "F--- You" McCain is listening to the DDBMSOWM and those who do not have his best interests at heart, he could pull a surprise and pick a candidate out of thin air. And he could do that with his track record.
But, one thing about John McCain. He wants to win. He will do what it takes. And that is why he will not pick a fight with his base. Sen. McCain will choose Mitt Romney as his running mate.
