Romney: Heck yes, I’d be McCain’s VP; Update (Ed): Why not?

In case you were planning on watching Hannity & Colmes tonight, now you don’t have to.
Thus do very bad ideas gain momentum:
“I think any Republican leader in this country would be honored to be asked to serve as the vice presidential nominee, myself included,” Romney told FOX’s Sean Hannity in a broadcast set to air tonight. “Of course this is a nation which needs strong leadership. And if the nominee of our party asked you to serve with him, anybody would be honored to receive that call … and to accept it, of course.”…
“There are really no hard feelings, I don’t think, on either side of this,” he said in the interview. “There were no pacts and so forth that make people feel like that we will never come together. Instead these campaigns are all coming together. We are supporting our nominee enthusiastically, aggressively.”…
Listening to Obama and Clinton discuss their national security credentials, Romney said, is akin to “listening to two chihuahuas argue about which is the biggest dog.”
“When it comes to national security, John McCain is the big dog, and they are the chihuahuas,” he said.
Exit question: If a guy with three years in the Senate is too inexperienced to be commander-in-chief, how is a guy with four years as governor of Massachusetts qualified to be a heartbeat away?
Update (Ed): I don’t think this is a bad idea at all, for a couple of reasons. First, Romney has extensive executive experience, both in and out of government. That could help McCain rebut the coming charge that he doesn’t understand economics. Neither Hillary nor Obama have any real-world business experience, nor are either likely to choose a running mate with any, given their populist rhetoric during the primary campaign. That gives the GOP ticket a clear advantage on both economics and executive experience.
Second, Romney proved he could both raise money and organize, two areas in which McCain comes up short. Both Hillary and Obama have done an impressive job in these areas, and the ticket needs someone who can match up against them — at least a little better than McCain can do. Romney can take over that job and put his team to work on building the kind of networks that the Republicans will need to win the election.
Lastly, Romney resonates with the conservative activists. It didn’t win him the nomination, but they wound up fighting for him at the end. He could help bring them back into the big tent. I see a Romney choice as a very positive step — and if Romney’s willing to do it, even more so.

Just heard my mayor (well my mayor to the slightly south) use the “N” word during his state of the City address.
Yes…the Detroit Mayor has once gain played the race card.
Look for it on your national news soon.

McCain may be the absolute worst candidate we could have come up with, but I’ll still vote for him in the general. We can’t afford to lose the war on terror.
BTW, Mark Sanford would be a good choice too.
malan89 on March 11, 2008 at 8:16 PM
If Romney is the VP nominee I will vote for the Hildebeast just to stop him!

Dumbass comment of the year.

Hey we can always impeach the clintons again
SaintOlaf on March 11, 2008 at 8:22 PM
Actually, you continue to presume. I haven’t had sex since that divorce! 12 LOOOOOONG years.
Well, when this becomes a Catholic country, I guess so. My “stone law” is not based on ANY religion!!!!! Just because you choose to FALSELY tie it to judaism or chrisinsanity does not make it the reason I choose that punishment!!!
My reasoning is based on the act of adultery. And my point is, that if we don’t make punishments that deter others from committing a specific crime – then that crime is not really a crime, is it???
Sheesh. Critical thinking, people. Please. I’m not dumbing down my comments, so get used to it.
mksmithwriter on March 11, 2008 at 8:22 PM
I agree, I poked fun at him alot during the camapign, but I think it is unacceptable to attack his family or him as a person.

Uh, don’t look now, but that failed then, too.

If only Fred would have cast that final vote to impeach the rapist.
SaintOlaf on March 11, 2008 at 8:25 PM
It would be the best Commander in Chief/Chief Executive Officer combination. I still think Mitt would make better use of the next 4 years if he spent it doing whatever he wanted, but if VP is what he wants then I’m all for it.
Greenhorn on March 11, 2008 at 8:26 PM
Also, you don’t have the right to push your non-standards on me.
mksmithwriter on March 11, 2008 at 8:26 PM
So maybe this argument you continue is stemming from sexual tension? ;-)
Either way you both have your points, so drop it. It’s not like either side is going to suddenly go.. “you know he has a point. I’ve been wrong all along.”
Nature of the beast unfortunately.

Instead Fred took the high road and followed the law instead of partisan politics. Look where it got him. Can’t have an ethical person in the Whitehouse whatever we do.

Sorry, I can’t…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
freevillage on March 11, 2008 at 8:30 PM
Commander in chief experience requires one to be commander and chief. So we have to look at philosophy, people skills, his understanding of the economy, and his ability to lead. Mitt has all these things, he is a strong leader.
Should he take the vp position, I think he shouldn’t, because I don’t think McCain will win. But he will have to be careful to support McCain with a 10 foot pole, close enough to thump him on the head, but far enough that you don’t get his taint.
Btw chosen one, your class envy is coming though again. Romney has worked with the poor and has given to charity that helps the poor. And has done so not for the purpose of a photo op, but because he is a nice guy.
Lastly, as far as the anti-Mormon vote, people’s memory seems to be pretty weak. Mitt was getting as many or more votes than Huck except for Iowa.
Again Mitt, only join McCain if you can keep that 10 foot pole, and keep close tabs on your money, as McCain will pick you only because of your money not because of how you can strengthen the ticket overall.

Squid Shark on March 11, 2008 at 8:35 PM
Based on that comment alone, I think it’s fair to say I win.
Let me get this straight.
You argue that adultery should be punishable by stoning.
Buy Danish argues that, regardless of someone’s views on adultery, stoning is ridiculous in any case.
I bring up the 8th amendment to support the argument that stoning is ridiculous.
I argue that you don’t get to inject your moral standards into the laws of this country (by stoning adulterers) just as I am not allowed to inject mine (by punishing you for the divorce that you had and the eventual post-divorce sex that you will most likely have).
You argue that this is not a “Catholic country” and that your stoning adulterers proposal isn’t based on religion.
It doesn’t matter if you pulled the idea out of your ears. The American people shouldn’t be force fed your personal values by the government, no matter if they are based on religion or not.
malan89 on March 11, 2008 at 8:38 PM
It’s symbolic. Whether it is one soldier or one hundred thousand, it shows international support for not leaving Iraq before the job is done, allowing the Iraqi Government to crumble, and standing by as thousands of people die at the hands of terrorists.
malan89 on March 11, 2008 at 8:40 PM
I take it you’re definitely not a “Protest Warrior”. I DO find the level of support acceptable, and if and when the sharia mullahs are removed from power, we will also see the “little people” of muslim-dominant regions support us as well. Initially, I was absolutely against going into Iraq, because I thought that the moment these people were given the “freedom” to choose, I truly thought they would “choose” to annihilate us, and with our own money! I hate to say it, but Iraq proved one thing to me, more than any other…
Which is why I believe that in a country with OVER 25 million muslims, there have only been 3983 deaths of American Forces since the beginning of the Iraq war.
I’m sorry, but 140,000 combat troops is NOT going stop 25,000,000 muslims hell bent on “killing infidels” so I call Iraq a success, along with the other 25 million people we liberated in Afghanistan, so:
Republicans = 50 million people liberated
Democrats = 2 to 5.1 million dead after Vietnam pullout
Califemme on March 11, 2008 at 8:42 PM

Wasn’t comparing Romney’s charity to McCain’s. I was responding to the Chosen One’s idea that because Romney is rich it means he’s a heartless lazy sob more concerned with his golf game or his sail boat who would never get his hands dirty dealing with the those poor folks.
Conservative Voice on March 11, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Most everybody is “anti-war”. But, in some cases, war is necessary. Nobody likes it, but it is a reality of the world we live in.
malan89 on March 11, 2008 at 8:46 PM
I say again, who decides whose views get pushed off on someone else? You continue to use false logic (your 8th Amendment comment, among others) to support the fact you have no capacity for moral or logical reasoning. I don’t accept your contention that there are “basic laws” of any society! Our leaders start war, drop bombs, order killings, to protect their political asses, actually get people killed, for amoral reasoning such as you continue to use.
You ain’t one nothing but the Stupid Award.
Get over it.
mksmithwriter on March 11, 2008 at 8:46 PM
bravo.
aso on March 11, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Amen to that.
No one likes war, but it’s a fact of life that will continue forever. Whether it’s Muslims, Nazis, Communists ie: anybody who disagrees with our way of life, there will be war. It’s an inevitability.
It’s not for lack of trying to avoid war, but simply human nature to change/fight those who have different viewpoints, skin color or political system than you. Eventually some nutcase is going to throw a bomb or some leader hoping to gain greater power will fire the first shot. It’s sad, but no matter how much we try to talk things out, it still happens.
I’m proud of what our Nation has done with those we have had the unfortune of fighting in war. And even though our logic and motivation for invading Iraq was sketchy at best, I’m proud of what we have and will continue to accomplish for Iraq.
Luckedout on March 11, 2008 at 8:54 PM
I’m done. You don’t seem to understand the separation between your personal views on what is right and wrong and what the laws of our country should be.
Ahh, yes. I knew it. Lib in disguise. Take your BDS elsewhere.
It’s not an issue of morality as to whether stoning is a reasonable punishment or not. Its an issue of reading the constitution. If you don’t view stoning as both cruel and unnecessary, then you have a very twisted interpretation of the constitution and original intent…but, I will concede the point. If you’re not allowed to push your views on adultery/personal moral standards on me, then I shouldn’t be forced to push my interpretation of the constitution on you.
malan89 on March 11, 2008 at 8:56 PM
Win or lose in the general election, VP is the best place for our (current) choice for the 2012 presidential nominee. Mitt can spend 8 months articulating why, then 4 years making an even stronger case. Oh and by the way, we need Ann Coulter back, so please Lord let this be the ticket!!! P.S. Look for McCain to announce Thursday on H&C!!!

You are a pathetic piece of shit. Always the sliming of the whole Romney family. You are so despicable you can’t even take the time to spell his name correctly when you’re making up stuff about him. You’ve attacked Mitt and his sons, when are you going to say some derogatory stuff about his wife? We know you hate them, so STF up.
cjs1943 on March 11, 2008 at 8:03 PM
I haven’t even gotten warmed up yet, sliming the Rominees. Don’t worry about the Romeinee boyz, cause before he decided to try and
buyrun for the nomination he put $150,000,000 in a trust for the little brats. They’ll be fine, don’t worry their feelings. His wife seems nice, I don’t know why you would suggest I trash the nice lady. My beef is with Mitt the phony and his five tantrum machines.THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 9:01 PM
I agree with both AP and Ed. A lot of people, including me, were for Romney because he was the most conservative of the choices at the time. There are much better choices for VP than him. That being said, if he was the VP he would balance McCain out (a little) and I would support him whole-heartedly.
Would rather have someone who is stronger on border issues though.

While Mav was being tortured in a prison camp, Mitt was skiing in the alps. If I know Mav like I think I know him, he wouldn’t even return Rominee’s phone calls. All the phony did was watch the polls and attack which ever candidate was doing well in polls in each state. He did it to Huck, Fred, Mav, and Rudy. You know it, I know it, and worst of all you know that I know you know it. He’s a hack loser and f him.
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 9:04 PM

Cold Steel on March 11, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I don’t know what your problem is, but I’m beginning to think that you have had some personal experience with Mitt and his sons. You are jealous of his successs and money, jealous of his ability to run a corporation quite successfully to make the $, jealous of his education to propel him to succeed, jealous of having a family, etc. What am I leaving out?
You must have tried something in your life at success and failed miserably. Because you are coming off as quite a miserable person. Your hatred for the Romney family is really off the charts.

Rich-Good, Buying Elections-Bad
You probably voted for Forbes and Perot as well. I could go all night slamming that loser. By the way investing ten of millions at 5% is not success.
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 9:16 PM
McCain is 71. He may keel over in the next four years. Or perhaps some wackjob bastard will probably try to assassinate him, which would then make Romney President. Or, perhaps McCailn will just serve one term and then step down for health reasons. Either way it would give Romney the job. I’m a Romney man, count me in. At the very least it will make for interesting news fodder seeing how the two beat each other up over the issues despite being on the same team.
cannonball on March 11, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Buying media time is NOT buying the election. Buying the election would require to pay someone to vote for them, like Hillary and Obama with the super delegates.
Didn’t vote for Perot, he was a nut. I did like Forbes though. In either case, Forbes, Perot, or Romney bought the election…or we would of had different outcomes.
Repeat after me, Buying media time is NOT the same as buying the election…
Conservative Voice on March 11, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Go ahead and do that. Your hatred is bordering on rage, maybe it is. But, again, you never say where this is coming from and why. I’m not a pysco-analyst, but this sounds like extreme jealously to me.
cjs1943 on March 11, 2008 at 9:22 PM
How many presidents come from the Senate versus various state houses? For the last 12, only JFK came from the Senate and was elected in his own right (well, sort of…). LBJ and Truman rose to the presidency from VEEP-dom… (Ford came from the House, not the Senate). Why not a Gov for VEEP?
GWB – A Gov
Billy Jeff – A Gov
GHWB – Generalized Executive Branch Aparatchick, VP
RWR – A Gov
Jimmy – A Gov
Ford – Raised up from Congress
Nixon – A Gov
LBJ – Senate/VP
JFK – Senate
Ike – President of Columbia, Had an Army gig for a while…
Truman – LBJ Route – Senate/VP
FDR – A Gov

His father ran and lost. He outspent every opponent 20-1 and lost. Now his oldest brat is considering running for congress, because the mormon population asked him in Utah. Do you see a pattern here? The Romney’s believe their destined to be in power. I didn’t like the Kennedy’s, the Royal Family in Britian, The Rominees, and the rest of these famalies who believe that their last name makes them qualified. Now, if you disagree that’s fine, but he’s a phony and a loser, and Mav will let him within reach of #1.
By the way I’m not exactly broke.
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 9:28 PM
And if not Romney, who?
Some I’d consider (in no particular order)
Rice
Jim DeMint
ummm… gee, does anyone know if Michelle Malkin was born in the US? And is Mary K. Hamm old enough?
darkpixel on March 11, 2008 at 9:28 PM
There is nothing riskier and nothing nobler than putting your money where you mouth is. Any candidate willing to risk his or her own fortunes in order to take a public office deserves the respect and admiration not worthy to most political leaders in this era. Mitt Romney is a true American patriot.
Elections can’t be bought. Only fascists will use that kind of demagoguery to scare the public and destroy their opponents
We should hope and pray for more leaders willing to risk there personal fortunes for the sake this great country.

I just don’t believe Johnny Mac wants an independent man in the VP slot. Mitt and Johnny Mac will bump heads and then will lay down the law on him. McCain will pick a beta male for the job.

THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 9:28 PM
So let me get this straight, his son is a brat because he is running for Congress because there are people in Utah who want him to run? Wow is that golden. And now the Romney’s are considered Royalty, yet you see nothing wrong with McCain getting the not because the Republican elites felt it was his turn?
Conservative Voice on March 11, 2008 at 9:35 PM
LOL, maybe. But these mortgage securities were invented by private business, and the problem is that they aren’t worthless but no one knows how much they are worth. So the banks aren’t lending anybody any money, which is hurting the economy, which will make fewer of the mortgages get paid off.
Bernanke is stepping in to help provide liquidity to the banking system. I’m a small government advocate, but I think there are some smart government officials in DC and to the extent that they help provide transparency, liquidity, and price stability to the financial markets they help business out.

Spelling “won” as “one” isn’t a “writing style” and I’m not even going down that road with you. And I’m done with the “let’s go out and stone cheaters because I happen to think it’s the right thing to do” argument. I think common sense and sanity are on my side in that one.

Oh yeah, another reason I hate the Romiinees is that after the NYT’s tried to slime Mav, Josh the next day was quoted as saying his daddy might get back in. Now Mitt is probably pleading with Hannity to run this interview tonight. Carl Rove says it should be Romenee. Guess what, they are not the nominee. Oh yeah, don’t forget about when Mitto said his sons had “sacrificed” by being on the campaign trail with him. What a joke. Meantime Mav’s boys are fightin’ and he hasn’t mentioned it once, because he doesn’t want to exploit their service. THAT IS PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL, AND THE ROMINEES WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THAT’S LIKE!!
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 9:50 PM
I don’t know much about the commercial and business aspect of bank lending but in the area of residential and personal lending the banks seem to have plenty of money are making it more and more attractive to borrow every day. The problem doesn’t seem to be a lack of cash but a lack of customers. Personal debt is so high people are frozen and can’t do anything. Anyone who thinks the real estate crisis is abetting should take a breath and step back because we haven’t seen the worst of it yet.

Nice meme but it the numbers are working against you. more Dems voted in their FL Primary than Rep. There are not that many “cross overs” in a closed primary where it is fairly difficult ot switch regestration. Exit polling if faulty at best. Floridian Republicans are different than the rest of the nation.
You also discount the fact that McCain killed in the most important Florida Republican community, Cubans.

I nominally agree, but less harshly, the Romneys do not have a history of sacrificing for the country. I find Josh to be a spoiled, whiney brat who lacks alot of his fathers graciousness.
Squid Shark on March 11, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Now I know why Mav won the nomination….THE CHOSEN ONE did it single handedly.
I don’t agree with CHOSEN about his candidate, but he certainly makes a good case for him while portraying the flip flopping RINO Romney most accurately.
If Mac picks Huck as VP you can count me in!
SaintOlaf on March 11, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Squid, there were cross overs, it wasn’t impossible to cross over, Fl exit polls showed that Gov Crist’s endorsement was a major factor, and Romney also had to deal with last minute lies that McCain pushed.
McCain earned the nomination by being a slime ball, and the Republican establishment all gave him the nod because it was his turn.

Clinton and Obama raise more money for their campaigns because of PORK. Some of this money is getting kicked back to them. McCain cant keep up with them in this regard-he is too honest. I dont understand wht this is not played up more.

You know coming over from Captain’s I have no idea who Allapundit is and from what I see I don’t like him/her or agree with them. Kind of like “the chosen one.” For heaven’s sake who would ever choose you with your bigoted posts? What in the world do you have against 5 decent, intelligent, educated young men who have never been arrested, never been on drugs? Oh maybe I’m getting a picture here – do you have any children? You must be jealous of these young men. I guess their not in your hippy class. Gee he raised good kids. Imagine that. I wish Mitt wouldn’t agree to be the vp candidate either. I think mccain is going to loose and I don’t want Mitt on the ticket.

If moderates are voting for Hussein O then they really shouldn’t be called moderates to begin with.
Hussein Obama = most liberal candidate ever!

I dont mush care for Josh “Sacrifice” Romney…
He is a crybaby seems to be to be a classless version of his father.

CV I have a great sense of humor, and I dont know what leg you have to stand on WRT my morals…when did we meet again?

Squid Shark on March 11, 2008 at 10:08 PM
you do realize that McCain won Fl by a narrow margin? And what I find interesting, is you first discount the Gov’s endorsement by saying only among the moderates, but then later say that Romney lost because he didn’t connect with the moderates! LOL.
And anyone who push polls lies is a slime ball.

You don’t see a difference between the roles of a VP and the President? You think the exact same standards apply???

Never thought you would pretend to be so naive just to get an exit question in.

Squid, definition of a moderate is someone who doesn’t have any morals, because that is too black and white.
As far as moderates not having a sense of humor, I can only read from you and the Chosen One, and all I see is bitterness and class envy, thereby the only sense of humor you have is at the expense of another’s misery…hence no sense of humor.
Conservative Voice on March 11, 2008 at 10:18 PM
I do, 6 points is fairly close, but not a nail biter either.
At what point does undecideds become moderates. What about the people coming in trying to decide between the Huckster and Romney…Seems like you are stratching a bit to set up an apparent contradiction which does not exist.
LOL indeed :)
I think anyone who sells BS plans to desperate auto workers is shady, but I dont think Romney is a slimeball, he was just desperate to score a win.

Heh. Here’s the hotair article on his “secret meeting” with the hacks at the conservative union behind Maverick’s back. Notice the title, disgraceful. This guy has a lot of f’n nerve to think he’s got a shot at vp after this type of betrayal.
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Because Romney really doesn’t want McCain to win..
Thats Why not.
Chakra Hammer on March 11, 2008 at 10:26 PM
lol, McCain can’t raise money because he hasn’t won over the base and all the moderate voters he is counting on are voting for Obama.
Conservative Voice on March 11, 2008 at 10:03 PM
your talking about votes im talking about raising money
fryclint on March 11, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Yes, and Rudy came in 3rd(Rudy and McCain were fighting over the same voters)

Exactly. Saba toge job in the making.
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Romney next up on The Hannity and Colmes. Alan looks more, shall I say, geeky with those new glasses.
SouthernGent on March 11, 2008 at 10:28 PM
First of all Obama isn’t a moderate..(He is a left wing extremist that has never shown that he can compromise)
Secondly, McCain will do fine with getting cash.
Chakra Hammer on March 11, 2008 at 10:30 PM
Decidedly untrue…
I have many strongly held convictions, however, I am very much a centrist on many issues.
You live in you fantasy world though, where only the “pure” have any moral fiber…
Where is my class envy, I have alot of respect for Gov Romney, I dont like his son, but I like him well enough and would like to see him as VP.
Squid Shark on March 11, 2008 at 10:30 PM
fryclint on March 11, 2008 at 10:27 PM
if he has the base, then he would have money AND votes
Conservative Voice on March 11, 2008 at 10:30 PM
Thanks for the link. I agree that Sarbanes is a bureaucratic pain in the butt that mostly serves as a full-employment act for accountants.

Yeah how long has his hair been like that.
Squid Shark on March 11, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Oh no. He’s gonna brown nose the Mav. Pathetic to watch a grown man gravel and beg.
THE CHOSEN ONE on March 11, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Romney’s tan looks terrible!
Or is that my TV, Sean looks less pasty that usual too.
