Wow...That makes absolute sense! The thought of Mitt and McCain just makes me nauseas...ew... I keep telling myself McCain isn't this stupid but then I have to remind myself, for McCain it is all about money. I just read an article said McCain doesn't have access to his wifes millions and millions. He actually signed a prenuptial agreement! Money is definitely going to b the "noose" as you so aptly stated that hangs McCain. Remaining Steadfast, Dominique Now that was a thought provoking article. Wow…That makes absolute sense!

I keep telling myself McCain isn’t this stupid but then I have to remind myself, for McCain it is all about money. I just read an article said McCain doesn’t have access to his wifes millions and millions. He actually signed a prenuptial agreement!

Money is definitely going to b the “noose” as you so aptly stated that hangs McCain.

Remaining Steadfast,

There isn't a thing wrong with being wealthy, although Romney seems to consider himself a step above most Americans and I do not believe he has a clue what most of us are going through. The main problem I have with him is how he has been consistent with his inconsistency. He can not be trusted. MK,

Isn't that the American way? Why would Romney not be a good running mate because he is wealthy? I just find that argument to be so shallow and not make any sense. To me it shows Romney's intelligence and problem solving skills which is exactly what this country needs. Also, the McCain/Romney ticket would have the Dems shaking in their boots according to Dean.

Romney, not so much. McCain probably shouldn't pick a wealthy running mate. And Obama or Clinton would have a field day tearing up a McCain/Romney ticket before the election. With Huckabee on the ticket, you get the southern states and McCain takes the more moderate and liberal states. A win in November, for sure. True conservatives trust Mike Huckabee.

Perhaps intended, perhaps not, but I do think it fits better than "presumptive" or "presumed." Of course, I think "presumptuous" pretty much applies to the whole GOP establishment, especially if they try to stick us with Romney!

While I would love to see Huckabee on the ticket - I'd still vote if there was a conservative (any conservative) on the ticket. Romney is NOT a conservative. Just as the almighty dollar is going to buy his way to VP slot - Romney also had to pay for conservative votes - do the research. He was pro-choice & supposedly switched BUT after the supposed 'change' in conservative belief here he still created the Commonwealth Mandatory HealthCare system that had a co-pay for an abortion for $50. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PRO-LIFE TO ME! He also allowed the Judges in MA to make a law to allow Gay Marriages & then said he had to sign it cuz he had no other choice. The MA consitution is CLEAR the Judicial Branch has NO authority in MAKING NEW LAW regarding marriage! (Just like in CA Swartzennegar is just as outraged over the CA Judicial system trying to outlaw homeschooling - I heart Arnold S. say he would veto that for they had NO authority to do that! I hope Arnold S. continues to excercise his AUTHORITY over such unlawfulness & Romeny should have done the SAME!) Many attorney's advised him not to do it & he still did it - going back to his secret pack w/ the Gay Log Cabin Group! He is absolutely NO different than Barack Obama! NO DIFFERENT!! He is an opportunist. While he has had to PAY people to pump up his supposed Converatism - he also really has NO idea on the economy - do the research yourself & find out how he REALLY left the state of MA!! Don't just listen to the pundits & assume they did all the great research FOR you cuz trust me - they DIDN'T & has 'sugar coated' the realities!! Hmmm...Why... has to be $$$$. Mitt cannot be trusted - I will be one of those conservatists who sit out. I cannot vote w/ Mitt on the ticket. I'll actually enjoy watching George Soro's $40 MILLION in attack ads against McCain AND Romney --- I'll actually enjoy seeing how TARRED & what other DIRT comes out on Romney & sit back & laugh at those that believed the PAID OFF PUNDITS like Limbaugh, Ingraham, & Hannity (for sure... I'm certain there is a $$$ Trail somewhere & I'm certain George Soros & his organizations will find it). In that case - I'm THRILLED now that Mike Huckabee will be SPARED from such attacks as we will see this election. And I'm beginning to think as much ad I'd love to see Mike on the ticket - it would be best if he wasn't. I'll get more entertainment at how many lies Romney gets caught w/. Romney on the ticket will assure Obama a victory. There is no different between the two deceitful men! I will be one of those conservatives that sit out IF McCain chooses Romney.

He will tear the Democratic V.P. to shreds in the debates. If John McCain unleashes him the way that it is traditionally done, (let the V.P. choice be the attack dog, so the Party nominee can appear Presidential and stay out of the fray.) he will bring out some much needed questions that are screaming for answers. There are many, both Obama and Clinton have more baggage than Kennedy International Airport.

Last night on Huckabee's teleconference, he said that he has contacted McCain's campaign for "marching orders" regarding Huckabee going out on the trail for McCain. But alas, not a peep has come out of McCain. I am currently doing some investigating into Bob Barr for President.
