WHO CARES ?

It would be a good ticket.

I thought Hillary would be a good running mate For MCcain.

McCain will loose my vote.

You need Hillary on your side.. Help get the womens vote…

Her Dad was a Republican I believe…

John and Hillary One and Two

Sounds to me like Romney is begging for a return on his investments.
The man dropped out tooooo sooooooooon.
kinda makes you laugh.

OH Lord! Not these two guys. If McCain takes on Romney as a VP Candidate then we don t have anything to worry about.

We will win the White House for sure………..Go Obama & Clinton

OBAMA/McCASKILL 08

or

CLINTON/RICHARDS

Romney was popular with the traditional conservative vote - those unhappy with McCain. Pulling the two camps together would be a smart move.

A smart move - something the democrats haven't yet made as their two bitter rivals continue tearing each other down… spending all that campaign cash throwing mud.

A VP bid will be political suicide if it's linked with McCain. Romney no doubt will be eyeing the presidential bid in 2012, and it would be better for him to distance himself from the polarizing McCain.

But it won't matter. Four or Eight more years of flawed economic policy will push more and more people to study and accept Austrian Economics. The Keynesians won't rule forever.

wow,seems he stopped being arrogant. Thanx to Karl Rove!

I think that would be a good ticket.

This would be an unbeatable ticket and we really need someone to help straighten out our broken economy. GO MITT !!!

Now this is a dream ticket (so would be Mc Cain and Huckabee)

This County needs strong leadership in our next President. I am sorry but this year the Democratic side just doesn't have it in either candidate.

Don't pick Romney

So What!?
He's not going to get it.

Great have Romney as a VP and I know tons of republicans that would rather vote for Obama. McCain would for sure lose with no doubt!

the republican party gave us george w. bush and will forever be irrelevant as far as i am concerned.

Given that the economy is going to be a huge issue, McCain needs to have an economy stalwart as his VP. He already brings the foreign relations/national security. Also the Senator usually needs a Governor to balance their ticket as well.

Getting Romney on the ticket would just be another political game. He'd only be using him to gather (or attempt to gather) the conservative vote. Politics as usual.

Please, please pick Romney John!

It'll mean a nice, quick end to you.

A McCain-Rommey Ticket would be a lot better than a McCain Huckabee Ticket.

McCain/Romney would have my vote.

Excellent. I'm an Obama supporter but I'm checking our my options now that Hillary is causing the party to implode. I always liked Romney's intelligence and you guys are actually starting to look like the reasonable ones!

Same old people doing same old thing. Not anymore. Obama 08!

i've said it once and i'll say it yet again, if romney becomes president i will be forced to move my family out of the country.

I voted democratic in the primary but I would definitely vote for McCain/Romney ticket in the General Election.

He's toast if he picks that phony.

Well….this would be awesome.

Mccain/Rommney vs Obama/Richardson

Please, please pick Romney John….. and be the first Republican in modern history to balance the budget!!!

He would be McCain's saving grace. A man with honor, integrity, intelligence and grace.

If McCain picks Romney and Romney accepts, it's going to be real hard for anyone to believe anything they say. I'll certainly have a hard time with that after months of them belittling each other and slandering one another.

Then we're supposed to turn around and all believe that they have respect for each other and that they can work together? If so, then it just shows the lack of integrity and character in politics.

There's a scary duo.

I doubt that this will ever happen, because, McCain hates Romney and his money.

A McCain-Romney ticket would have my vote in a second.

I think Romney would serve our country well in any position. He certainly has the credentials and the badly needed leadership skills. He had over 4 million votes (hardly all Mormons) before he dropped out. He is well liked within the party.

I am a little hesitant to think the republicans can pull off a win in November when the conservative portion split during the primaries with bigotry between the evangelicals and the Mormons. Can we trust the evangelicals to stop?

If we can get Hillary and Obama to split up, the Republicans will win because of the cross-over votes. With Mitt as VP, the evangelicals will vote for a pro-abortion candidate before Mitt, which again shows their faulty pride. McCain needs to see what the Dem's ticket is before naming any VP.

just from the looks, Romney seems presidential………………just a comment.

Romney is not as half as honorable as McCain is and McCain not as half as educated as Romney. If something is "not going to happen", than it will be the McCain / Romney ticket.

By the way; Barack Obama will be the next president of the U.S.A, not McCain

they will make great odd cuple

Who cares……

Hope you read my letter to you 2 weeks ago asking you to pick him!
McCain/Romney 2008! You are the Dream Team!

I really hope they run together… it will ensure the demise of the Republican Party in the White House (that is, unless Hillary competely destroys the Democratic Party first.)

If McCain is smart enough to ask Mitt Romney to be his running mate then that means I would only have to hold one side of my nose in order to vote for McCain! We need Romney to use his business brilliance, to help our floundering economy. I have been doing some research on Romney by using Google search, from what I read this man is a star in his business dealings and family issues, and we wouldn't have to worry about a nasty scandal such as the one with Spitzer, he is a wonderful family man who loves his wife deeply.Anyway come on McCain, do the right thing for once and ask Romney to be your VP.

That might work. they can FLIP FLOP together.

Anybody but Obama in the White House

Romney might be a good pick for McCain, but there are other ones out there too. I'm sure he's looking at all the possibilities. In any event, at least he's getting some ink from the press. Amazing how Clinton keeps whining about the sexist and unfair media. If anyone has a right to complain about media coverage, it's John McCain and the Republican party! Talk about biased coverage of the election cycle when they devote 3 times the amount of news coverage to democrats over republicans.

A far left radical or a moderate conservative? the decision is easy. Ad a black gay man i support McCain Romney.

Democrats are foolish to think Obama is a uniter just as republicans said in 2000 that Bush was.

The best thing that can happen to the Republican party is for Obama to be president. he DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!

NO valid experience. NONE! Its not fear mongering.. its a fact. I don\t let my 9 year old drive a school bus.. come on. why has he even gone THIS far? Race and Hillary Hate.. that's NOT a political platform.

Condi would be a smarter choice, but don't listen to me. Please pick Romney. It will gaurentee Obama 08!

Ick…

I was considering voting for McCain if Clinton managed to worm her way into the Dem Nomination. I guess Nader will get my vote then.

I'm sorry, but McCain doing this would indirectly impart legitimacy to Obama gifting the VP spot to Hillary. J
ohn McCain has plenty of potential problems and this obvious and craven attempt at legitimacy with the Limbaughs of the world will not help. It will only make him look weak.

I don't think that picking Romney would be in McCain's best interest. He can do better, but its the republican party, so there is only so good that you can do…

Obama Richardson 08!!!

if mitt romney goes with mc cain the democracts are in trouble , and hillary and obama will have to go together …..

There's no way McCain picks Romney. Super Tuesday proved that the Bible Belt is not prepared to embrace Romney - most likely due to his religion. Any benefit McCain would gain by choosing Romney for his economic strength would be more than offset by losing votes in the religiously intolerant South.

Hmm! McCain does not appear that interested!

Huckabee would be a better choice!

I don't care who your running mate is at this point. As a democrat I will be voting for McCain if Obama gets the nomination. I don't like the way they (Obama supporters and staff) keep turning every statement people make into racist comments, even when they are stated as fact. I like having my freedom of speech and don't appreciate it being smothered. Romney would work for me.

Romney would be an excellent VP choice. His credentials and leadership are amazing! The question is, can McCain swallow his pride and nominate the turnaround kid.

If McCain really wants to capture all of the Republican vote, Romney would be his best choice.

Definately a ticket I would vote for.

Nobody can excite the crowds like good o' Mitt. He was willing to say and do anything to get elected so why not say and do anything to get the VP spot. It's not like he has any principles left to lose at this point.

I disagree with Johnny McCain on most issues. However, even I can acknowledge that McCain can do better than Romney.

Senator McCain - Please, please don't pick Romney, because then I will have no one to vote for should Obama get the nomination. Could you maybe find a qualified woman?

My dream team, believe it or not, would be McCain/Clintion in either order. Do the thing only you could do, go with a Democrat and get everyone together. Then maybe Congress could finally get some work done and clean up this hell that Bush has left us.

Oh well, we all have our fantasies. Will be happy when this election season is over and my fatasies become more entertaining again.

I think this would be a good ticket if McCain feels comfortable with it. God knows we need help with our economy; something that Democrats are not particularly noted for. I just really hope that Romney realizes he would be #2 and gets the h*** off his high horse. People don't like people who think too highly of themselves. It's obvious that Romney is a hard worker, but he's not the only person who works hard in this country and he needs to stop giving the impression that he thinks he is. Less talk; more results.

Romney is a known flip flopper anyway..RonPaul is pricipled he would never change his spots like a chameleon does to suite the current enviroment.shame on you Romney..

As nice as this all sounds, I would bet a good fortune Romney would never be chosen to run with McCain, let alone accept the position!I love Romney, but he doesn't play second fiddle to anyone!

I bet huckabee is kicking himself in the pants right now though!!….Good!

The only way I'm voting for McCain this year is if Romney is on the ticket as VP. Anyone else and I'm voting third party or … *gulp* Obama.

Hey - if McCain wants any hope of getting anywhere he should choose Hillary as his veep. She'll be available, fighting mad, be carrying the baggage of some racists-obsessive cult followers, and looking for an opportunity to try to build her resume up to something moe than just what is in her own imagination. GO McChillary!!!!!!!

McCain would lose my vote by selecting Romney.

I can't wait for the senate to set up a special prosecuter to investgate Obama's wifes dealings. The might want to ask her how it was that she was being paid over 200,000,.00 per year working 20 hours a week for a hospital whose earnings increased 1 billion her 1st year. And was it a kick back since they hired her 2 months after her husband was elected to office. The hospital was turning away people who couldnt pay and one person even died as a result. How come Obama hasn't turned in his wifes tax return? How about her buying a peice of land from the cheat on trial right now for a fraction of what he paid for it. What is she doing- laundering money? Between the two of them they earned 800,000.00 last year and it should be over 1 million this year? Out for the little guy. right! The only thing Obama is out for is who he can swindle out of money. He bills he wrote started off good but once the companys paid him off he watered them down so much they were meaningless. He is a crook and will be worse than Bush. Think! Where is all that money coming from. Certainly not just you and me. There is some heavy hitters in the back ground and those are the people he will owe favors to in the future.

It doesn't matter whom McCain picks. The next president will be either Obama or Clinton.

Mc.Cain expert in national security, and Romney expert in the economy…hmm!!!!! That sounds like a perfect combination, excatly what we need after Bush's mess. I approve!!!!!

If no Hillary/Edwards, then i will vote Mc.Cain/Romney 2008.

PLEASE PICK ROMNEY!
HE WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL!

I'd love to see it happen, but I highly doubt it will.

When Obama won Iowa, the Clinton campaign said it's not the number of states you win, it's "a contest for delegates."

When Obama won a significant lead in delegates, they said it's really about which states you win.

When Obama won South Carolina, they discounted the votes of African-Americans.

When Obama won predominantly white, rural states like Idaho, Utah, and Nebraska, they said those didn't count because they won't be competitive in the general election.

When Obama won in Washington State, Wisconsin, and Missouri — general election battlegrounds where polls show Barack is a stronger candidate against John McCain — the Clinton campaign attacked those voters as "latte-sipping" elitists.

And now that Obama campaign has won more than twice as many states, the Clinton spin is that only certain states really count.

But the facts are clear.

For all their attempts to discount, distract, and distort, Barack Obama has won more delegates, more states, and more votes.

Meanwhile, more than half of the votes that Senator Clinton has won so far have come from just five states. And in four of these five states, polls show that Barack would be a stronger general election candidate against McCain than Clinton.

pick a popular gov. of a battleground state

Well, that would make him even easier for Obama to defeat. McCain isn't very articulate, is he? - using "I got that impression", twice in the same sentence. And then Romney using "honored" repeatedly. . . Hmm, well redundancy from the Republicans does not surprise me. It's always the same, old thing, over and over again.

OBAMA '08 and '12!

Mccain can do better by choosing M. Bloomberg as his VP candidate.
Mayor Bloomberg is a good man and a good Mayor of the biggest City
in the world.. He also happens to have unlimited resources.
On the democratic side. The Ferraro statements were not racist but were used by the Obama camp as such. After the So. Caroilna and
Mississippi primaries, in which the African-american Votes were so lopsided against Hillary (80 percent and 90 percent respectively),
I have come to believe that it is the Afro-Americans who have made the RACE issue come out in the primary campaigns. I dont remember any election where this has happened in the Afro-American voting patterns.. If this were not true, in my opinion, at least 20 or more percent of the Afro-Americans would have voted for Hillary
just based on the issues and qualifications and experience of both Obama and Hillary.. I perceivethat indeed Race has entered and will be an issue for the rest of the primaries and even thru the general election. Further , a Georgia super Delegate (J. Lewis)switched from Hillary to Obama after having received so much support by the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) in the past.. Sadly, that kind of non-loyalty summed up: One who has a friend like Lewis , does not need enemies.
is best summed up: One who has a friend like

Mitt just wants to be in the White House badly! He'll do anything - switch positions on major issues, say the prevailing buzz words, spend his fortune and make friends with enemies - to accomplish this desire.

Where is the conviction, Mitt?

This would be a welcomed gift to the democratic party. Romney is such an easy target with his flip-flopping. Let's not forget that Huckabee did better then Romney while Romney outspent him 100-1. That tells you how well Romney's electability is.

McCain-Romney is a winning ticket. If Obama is the Democratic nominee I am definitely voting for McCain (I'm a Democrat but support(ed) both Romney and Clinton). It's the economy, stupid! And we need experience in the White House — not speeches and rhetoric. I'm voting for the person (and ticket) that I think is best for America — not gender, and not race — experience is the most important thing we should be looking for. Not a "roll of the dice."

If McCain and Romney can get together after all their fighting and name calling then that means that the Clinton/Obama dream ticket is nothing short of inevitable. Hallelujah!

With Romney McCain will win in November

Romney is a clean good guy. He will help McCain secure the presidential election in November. Way to go!

I would guess it is between Romney or Huckabee. McCain has to, I mean HAS TO pick a younger, somewhat good-looking true conservative.

These are MUSTS if he is going to have a fighting chance.

who cares???? both of you will loose anyway! \

GO HILLARY!

I can tell you basically the end of the Democratic primaries. Clinton winning PA but most the rest going to Obama. Leaveing Obama with a higher amount of PLedge delegates and the popular vote would either be a tie or Obama winning. Obama probably getting the Nomination.

The End is that the Democrats will not make it to the presidency. I'm a White Male Veteran fully supporting Obama, and think he be the best canidate. The problem is How negative towards Obama Clintons will go. Now two Women Supporters coming out and saying Obama is winning cause hes black, has not right in Politics. Democrats need both Women and African Americans to win. All i see is Obama winning and women feeling so pissed off they rather have McCain (which is everything Clinton and Obama is against) or Clinton wins and African Americans and youth vote not voting. Either way another 8 years of Bush is going to be elected unless people wake up. McCain is the bigger threat to America then Clinton or Obama!!! please remember that!

I think a McCain Romney ticket would be AWESOME. We would have someone who understands national security to help with Iraq and someone who understands the economy and can work with congress as the president of the senate.

Ron Paul would make a better President

No VP candidate can make McSame as Bush win in November. The only way that will happen is if Obama is the Democratic candidate.

….Good! All the more reason to vote for a democrat.

A far left radical or a moderate conservative? the decision is easy. As a black gay man i support McCain Romney.

Democrats are foolish to think Obama is a uniter just as republicans said in 2000 that Bush was.

The best thing that can happen to the Republican party is for Obama to be president. he DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!

NO valid experience. NONE! Its not fear mongering.. its a fact. I don\t let my 9 year old drive a school bus.. come on. why has he even gone THIS far? Race and Hillary Hate.. that's NOT a political platform.

I'm not sure I'd like to see that. Romney is about a thousand times smarter, more honest, more impressive, inspiring, knowledgable, and charismatic than McCain, and he will quickly outshine him on the ticket. It would be bad for Republicans because it would show how badly they messed up their nomination by the irrational campaigns of fringe candidates like Paul and Huckabee, and bad for Democrats because there would be an actual qualified candidate in the race (a guy who HAS been a brilliantly successful executive leader his entire life, not a senator/life long politician or a short term junior senator like the other three).

I'd have to think about that one for a while.

The nightmare team. I'm loving it. O8bama.

I suspect that Romney exited so early because he cut a deal with McCain. McCain will fight the war on terror and Romney will address the economy and illegal immigrant issues. It is a dream ticket.

And why wouldn't he want to become a running mate with John Mcain? Because he said so that's why! I forget that in the land of make believe (as politics) what you say and what you do are not synonomous.

Romney and McCain would be an extremely strong duo. With McCain's miliatry experience and Romney's economic experience, America could finally move forward.

could it really be that easy to elect obama?

pinch me, I'm dreaming.

I'd sooner vote for Britney Spears and Paris Hilton on a combined ticket than Mitt Romney on any ticket. That man is bad news for the bottom 99% of the earners of this country. He's also apparently a huge fan of war and torture. No thanks.

News? Not!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…..

Wake me when they start talking about the Dems.

Obama 08

McCain-Romney is the GOP dream ticket.

Yeah right, let's bring a cult member to the white house. We need that so much.

Wolf ..Que honda?

A Jonny Mitty ticket would counter and offset a perception and just that a perception. Reality shall dictate the real platform. This includes the fact that in terms of immigration Mitt and the extreme right have become somewhat irrelevant in terms of this debate. So have the media that drives them, namley Lou Dobbs who is featured on CNN.

The nominee is John. He has made his position clear. This is surfac enon substantial illusive pandering. The argument is over. Comprehensive immigration reform is here according to the republican nominees past promises and position.. Wolf tell Lou he lost and his vendetta is irrelevant.

And why wouldn't he want to become a running mate with John Mcain? Because he said so that's why! I forget that in the land of make believe (as politics) what you say and what you do are not synonymous.

Carol, I believe you mean lose.

Whatever~the Republicans are going to be toast even if it were a McCain/God ticket.

I'm voting for you John…and begging you…please do NOT add Mitt Romney OR Rick Perry…they're cut from the same used car salesman cloth!!! I don't care for Giuliani’s social views, but would prefer that to these gentlemen.

YOU received the nomination because YOU appeal to the centrist conservative and to those who have followed your political career where you WORK WITH democrats, just as President Bush did as governor.

Just please win and retain that value that gets you there…do not pander to the far right base nor go too far to capitulate the far liberal left.

Centrists discuss issues…the others (Left/Right) follow a party brand!!! They are sheep and only root for a party like a football team!!!

If, as Geraldine suggests "the truth is the truth is the truth", then why did Obamas advisor have to leave for calling Hillary a monster?

Ummm…Romney did not carry the conservative vote. Huckabee did. If not for him - Huckabee would have won SC, MO, OK & possibly some others.

Finally, some potentially good news from the GOPers.

Hope this works out.

Yes, and then Obama and Clinton will be a joint ticket and pigs will fly. Yeah right, I really hope McCain does not pick the bigot Romney, and I hope Obama does not pick scary Hillary.

Don't do it! Take Mike Huckabee, but not Mitt R. Mitt is still a flip-flop (now more than ever since he said he'd NEVER be McCain's VP). Can't trust Mitt at all. I'm a Rep. voter, but won't go for Mitt as P. or VP.

Romney probably realizes McCain is too old to live through his term.

Take the Hillary, please.

She was a Goldwater Gal that should speak for something. Please GOP, take her back, take her back. She's driving us crazy. I can't stand her voice, that head bobbing, that phony smile, those exaggerated wild-eye looks.

Take her back……

Great ticket……I'm a democrat voting republican

Hilly you are so silly

Whatever you do, or whoever you choose. If Obama is chosen for the Dem's… Then I hope you wipe the floor with him. In the

Final Election Run…

Though I still think of what you do with Hillary at your side

(Not Rickety Rick)….

Yeah…Go ahead McCain…Choose Romney…They could make a reality sitcom about the two of you…The handicapped guy and the sleezy used car salesman…

McCain/Romney would be great, however, Romney/McCain would have been better

Brilliant! There's hope (copyright OH Obama) after all…….

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN………HOPE IT HAPPENS!

Romnney While Govenor of MA made big cuts in education and now with his health care for all many that did not have health insurance and are now required to have it or be fined, are opting for the fine as less expensive. That backfired.

Interesting combination. The republicans need a wow factor - I kind of thought that he would pick someone like Colin Powell or Condi Rice to stir up the election and bring some excitement to his team.

If Romney and McCain are together, the Republicans will win. The economy is struggling, a war against terrorism is raging, and these two can help the nation.

The fact that ROMNEY is such a calculated schemer ,it has to make one wonder. Is he looking at McCAINS ,,AGE and failing HEALTH and thinking that he would become PRESIDENT by default if McCAIN did not live through his first TERM.?? .EVERBODY KNOWS These TWO clearly cant stand each other at all.

Whos the skull and whos the crossbones?

I imagine there are a few Republicans who would want to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, especially considering that McCain, while fiery and strong-willed, is pretty old.

Mike Huckabee won the red southern states - Mitt lost them! Mitt and McCain won the Blue northern states. It's a no-brainer. Mike Huckabee should be the VP. Huckabee is the true conservative. Mitt is a fake - pro abortion, pro gay marriage… I will not vote for MITT and many Huckabee supporters will not vote for him either. Mitt fought so dirty and slandered McCain so much that if he would now join up with they guy he said that "you'll never see me on a ticket with McCain", you've simply got to ask yourself what ego / power trip is this guy on? Although, Huckabee didn't agree with McCain, he was at least civil and honorable - something Mitt wasn't.

I didn't really care for Mitt myself but it just might do the trick if Senator McCain can't find a viable black or woman candidate; and, don't mention Condi Rice. She is way to tied to Bush. If she had left the administration a year ago maybe.

PLEASE PICK HILARY!!! That way you can get someone thats conservative and running under the democratic name, that way the republicans can steal some of the democratic votes, the women's vote, and it'll overall look good having a Repub/Democr. ticket!!!!!

A McCain and Romney ticket would destroy anything the libs could put together! I truly hope that these two people can make this happen. It would be the smartest thing thing McVain could do for the republican party. Gentlemen make it happern!

They will have my vote if Hillary is the Democratic choice.

I don't see Romney as McCain's VP pick, but I suspect he could be part of a McCain Cabinet.

The only way McCain will get my vote is if he picks Romney as his VP.

Weak ticket.

No! No! The horror!

Why not Elizabeth Dole? An experienced, Southern, female…sounds like a good choice.

All the way with a McCain-Romney ticket! Don't kid yourself Ricky, this would be the winner. Get it going!

McCain can have a shot in presidency only if he is smart enough to reach out to Hillary Clinton, otherwise no chance no matter who his VP is. We need someone that can fix the miss Bush has created.

Mitt Romney crossed the line with his attacks and McCain will not select him.

and……

Why are all the "pundits" suggesting McCain pick a woman for VP, not based on qualification or abilities, only because it would represent "change"?

Sen. McCain should select someone who has the highest ethical standards/honesty, a conservative, someone with a common touch and has accomplishments in reforming government.  The ideal choice is Sarah Palin.

i'll take "things that will make me not vote for mccain" for $600 please, alex

Allrighty then. McCain , Romney and Clinton all support staying in Iraq and running our Military and our Economy into the ground. The one available candidate to get us out of the never ending hell hole of Iraq is OBAMA 08. Oh I am sorry. Hillary recently changed her mind. Now she hypocritically condemns Obamas plan to withdraw in sixteen months while thinking we are stupid enough to believe that Hillary will withdraw in sixty days. Hillary (monster ) stop the destructive madness and drop out.

Oh fantastic, now we might end up with Dumb and Dumber as pres. and vp.

Very good ticket there: will appeal to those who care deeply about the war in Iraq while at the same time appealing to those who realize our economy needs a lot of work done in a short period of time. McCain and
Romney can get this done. Go get 'em!

____________________________________________________

Hillary Clinton Leads with 130 pledged delegates .

But OBAMA insists on revote in FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN

So the party is considering spending 25 million dollars on revote .

If Obama was this far behind ,,do you mean to tell me anyone would care ,,much less spend 25 million dollars.
So they could split the delegates again.
No it would be over.

Vote Mcain cause Hillary is a lying ,cheating , person without morals or scruples .

I'm not going to vote in this election unless McCain chooses a Reagan conservative and the Huckster aint it. Romney has the background and experience to fill this need.

That is the only way we would vote for Mccain, If Romney is VP.
Even Sen.Hatch says Romney is a financial genius , he took the olympics for millions in the hole to millions in Surplus.

Romney would be a good choice for several reasons, he's good on the economy, he's good with the conservative base, but he doesn't seem to click well with McCain.

What I've always liked about McCain is that he seems like the closest thing we have running to an independent and as so he shoud pick someone that will appeal to moderates on both sides of the aisle and of course the crucial independent vote. So, why not go with Liberman? Sure he'll anger the far-right for picking a pro-choice VP but who cares McCain picks the judges not the VP. Imagine how great this would be if we had a ticket running together that was essentially a Republican and Democrat running together! The man was Al Gore's running mate in 2000 and clearly puts the country ahead of partisanship. I'd be honored to cast my vote for real change, a bi-partisan ticket that could truely unite the country.

Obama?

The best quote of the entire campaign season:
"Give me a break!" — Bill Clinton on Obama

If Romney is VP, I will not vote 4 McCain.

These guys would have to be the favorite at this point. I have hopes for
Hillary to pull it off. I don't think Obama, after he gets the whole
party to resign because of these supposed racist comments.Imagine
a guy who goes to a nut case church, accepts bribes from a slum
lord that freezes out blacks in the middle of Winter and accepts money
from an Iraq dude that was doing business with Sadam after the embargo was put in place, and most likely is caught on a FBI wire
with the slumlord–wow what a nice guy-is leading the race for
the nomination. Dream on

McCAIN WILL BEAT OBAMA!!!!!!

I AM A DEMOCRAT AND I KNOW THAT OBAMA WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

HE HAS TOO MUCH SCANDAL!!!!!!

IF I NAME IT CNN WILL NOT PRINT IT!!!!!!!

THE GOP WILL PULL IT ALL OUT AND IT WILL NOT BE HARD!!!!!!!!

GO SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shawn from GA you are a moron. i feel sorry for your stupidity.

McCain needs a more moderate running mate. He needs to pull votes from democrats and independents who are unhappy with Obama. He needs to select a younger mate with intellect, charisma, charm and wit. He must counter the age argument that will be in the back of some minds. As for the conservative right side, they NEED McCain, not the other way around. Who are they going to vote for? Obama? So are they going to stay home and let him get elected? I don't think so.

I would vote for anyone except Obama

Hillary/Ford 08

Its a great ticket. Romney is a good economist.

I don't care if he picked Mickey Mouse as his VP, I will we voting for him if Obama, the cry-baby, wins the Democratic nomination! I am so sick of him!

It is like George Bush all over again - If you are not with me, you are not patriotic! And now with Obama, if you are not for me, you are a racist!

His supporters and their comments will continue to divide the Democratic Party!

I would go for that! Economic issues are McCain's only weakspot. They would win for sure….and I am a Hillary supporter for the record! No intention of voting for Obama. The only thing that man has done since coming to the Senate is write a book and campaign for President. Not buying it!

Romney is a bored millionaire who should try to get a real job. He's not VP material.

I would really caution McCain supporters, and Republicans in general for pushing for Romney to be added to the ticket. Remember, when given the choice on Super Tuesday between the "strong second place candidate" Romney, and the "no chance" Mike Huckabee, a considerable number of the very conservative went with Huckabee, especially in the South. McCain has already had problems convincing Conservatives from voting for him, and it may be that adding Romney, who is seen as a social liberal to social conservatives who are familiar with his stances and actions as Governor, may be a disqualification move by McCain. It is apparent that Romney has not sustained a principled Pro-Life position during the course of his political campaign, and he actually did more to bring same-sex marriage to MA than some "runaway judge" in that he enforced the judge's ruling prior to a vote from the legislative body of that State.

It is pretty apparent that the momentum is with Obama throughout the nation, and while McCain may gain some votes from the fiscal conservatives he would convince many social conservatives, who he needs to win in November, that they don't have a representative in this race.

WHO CARES! Obama all the way!

I dont mind conservatism in all it's forms except the religious one.

Oh brother! Romney all but volunteered for the job. Hope McCain is wiser than that.

On the one hand, that's got to be the scariest looking duo yet.
On the other — it's the best thing they could do for the Democrats.
Note to Sen. Clinton: Please go away, and take Geraldine with you.

You guys are forgetting that Romney lost all the Southern states to Huckabee and came in dead last. This guy brings absolutely nothing to the table but to ensure a Democrat will win the White House.

mccain & romney = defeat for the democrats……….thanks to hillary for destroying the democratic party

No matter who McCain picks it's going to be a tough year for Democrats. That's why we need Hillary Clinton. She's got the strength to head to head w/ McCain.

YES! Do it. Just remember, we're not in a hurry here. There's plenty of time. Let's let the Dhimmicrats bloody each other a bit more. There's still Hillary at stage left, trying to pull off an alleyway mugging of Barack Obama - this is too good!

Senator McCain should not chose Mitt Romney as his Vice-President. If McCain does, he will certainly lose his bid of becoming President. It would be benefically if Senator McCain would chose an African American as his running mate.

Hey Skeptical, ever notice when two guys get into a fight (I mean a real fight with fists and blood and all that) and they are trying to really hurt each other, at the end they usually shake hands, hug nd up good friends. On the other hand, when a man and a woman go at it they usually end up the bitterest of enemies (i.e. hillary and barack). Guess it's just a guy thing but it happens all the time.

I m sure that I am not the only one who sees Clinton's "people" doing everything from showing Obama in traditional-cultural dress to saying that he should be at the back-of-the-bus to Fierce-Ferraro…and "AFTER" i has resonanted, Sweet-Dear-Hillary comes out hypocritically and says that that is not what she supports.
Dear Hillary "I AM NOT A FOOL"…if you are that scared …or can't compete 'decently and transparently and fairly'…or don't believe the words you say about changing the way government operates…simply be brave…if you can't walk the talk…walk away.
By the way, I don't believe the words you say about changing the way government operates ALSO.
Goodbye and Goodluck.

Senator McCain should not chose Mitt Romney as his Vice-President. If McCain does, he will certainly lose his bid of becoming President. It would be benefical if Senator McCain would chose an African American as his running mate.

Carol knows how to spell "lose"

If he doesn't take Romney as VP I'll vote for Obama. Romney is the only one of the republicans who can salvage this economy.

well, romney is sort of a jerk. Thus, I'd imagine McCain would attract the more conservative right if he were to take him as his running mate - as they would understand that Romney would just be an annonymous phone call away from taking the presidency.

However, the primaries speak: the ratio of jerks to vaccant idiots in the republican camp is actually much smaller than it seems, which is why McCain got nominated, and not Romney. If McCain took up romney, he may scare off a significant amount of the non-jerk republicans, who aren't interested in (rich) white power or pillaging other countries anymore.

It's going to be a TOUGH RACE between

McCain/Romney

and

Obama/Edwards !!! (or Obama/Richardson?)!!!

Really tough!

I'm an Obama supporter, but that would be a smart choice. Could it unite the Republicans? Would it nullify the 'I don't know much about economics' argument the Democratic nominee would use?

It's a good gambit, but chances are high that the Dems will have a better hand.

A McCain-Romney ticket is no different from a Bush Cheney ticket. It might fire up the conservative base, but they are clearly in the minority. There are more of us that want change than want the status quo. Romney would send independants running toward Obama.

Great move to attract the right wing freaks, but he will lose any chance at the independents. I think this is an excellent idea.

Romney would have him taken out a week after the election.

People here may scoff at a McCain/Romney ticket, but they weren't going to vote for McCain regardless. From the Republican perspective, this may be as much of a "Dream Ticket" as any I could think of. Don't take such a ticket lightly! McCain has the potential to bring in some Independents and Romney can energize the Right. Add that to the ugliness going on with the Democrats and it may look even better. Think about the exit polls in Mississippi! All those Democrats who'd be dissatisfied if their candidate doesn't win. Might they stay home in November? McCain/Romney might heal rifts in theor party that Clinton and Obama are widening in theirs.

To Shannon from Charlottesville:

"the republican party gave us george w. bush and will forever be irrelevant as far as i am concerned."

Let's throw out everything Republican President Abraham Lincoln ever did. It is now irrelevant.

McCain-Romney '08

I agree that McCain should convince Hillary to run with him. McCain/Hillary ticket will trounce Obama/whomever ticket. Hillary should switch to Republican. Democrats have gone too far left like Obama. We don't need socialism in this country. I am a democrat and if Hillary is not there, I am voting for McCain. I think I am not alone on this.

I am a huge Hillary supporter. If Hillary doesn't capture the nomination I will most likely vote for John McCain. If it comes down to Obama without Clinton as VP vs. McCain/Romney there would be no question I would vote for McCain/Romney. Obviously Hillary as the nominee would be an easy choise but I really hope these two do end up teaming up. I am still surprised Romney didn't get the nomination-he struck me as the most "presidential" out of all the Republicans. Plus I think it helped that he was rich and good looking and has a nice deep voice.

I don't trust Obama to do the right thing where Iran is concerned, I trust Hillary, McCain and Romney. Mitt Romney is right in that Hillary did do us a great service by reminding us how serious the job of being president is.

GREAT IDEA…Romney has a proven track record of turning around struggling organizations and this ticket would have my vote for sure.

Can you imagine keeping the flip flopping straight??? Pretty soon Romney will be considered a "straight talker". And people talk of the Democrats being a joke.

A great choice! Go for it, Senator McCain.

OMG, I was dreaming that my husband and I were having a nice conversation on the porch when…I looked down the street and "The Hillary", a big broad thing with heavy hips, was stomping, bobbing it's head, and running over bushes.

We quickly ran inside to call the police, but I woke up…

Whew! That was close.

McCain 08

I give Huck 2 days to come out with his own "VP" pitch to McCain. He cannot be outdone by Romney.

John McCain and Jack Kevorkian would make a great team, since dear John wants to continue the Bush doctrine and laugh about it with his friends as Soldiers die in a war that didn't need to be.

Sure Jack Kevorkian and John McCain JK & JM what a team…

If Obama wins the democratic nomination, the Republicans will win the White House. All of Hillary's supporters would vote for McCain. No matter who he chooses for VP. And the the 2 1/2 million voters in Florida and Michigan will seal the deal.

Hillary 2008

Don't pick him, pick Colin Powell,

That ticket would be unbeatable!

THE IDEA OF THE CLINTONS GOING BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE GIVES ME THE CRIPS, YOU ALL REMEMBER ALL THOSE SCANDALS, AND BY THE WAY, THAT MARRIAGE IS NOTHING BUT A CONVINIENCE GALORE. ALSO, HAVE YOU LOOK AT HER BEHIND,
SHE NEEDS TO LOOSE SOME POUNDS THERE.

mcsame and the plastic man—i love it!!!! whoever he picks, mccain goes down in FLAMES!!!!!

Here's my prediction. McCain / Romney vs. Obama / Clinton. Everyone thinks it's the most intense election EVER. We all talk about it for days…..while standing outside around a burning garbage can, under a bridge, begging for food. Anyone of them will bankrupt this country. Good job voting for these guys.

McCain and Condeleeza Rice….. talk about experience !… and an answer to the black and women fans, too !

Furthermore Midge from Ohio, it doesn't appear that McCain has much to gain in the honor, integrity, and grace attributes from Romney. His flip-flopping and playing to the conservative vote, not to mention his somewhat slimy stage pressence, put serious shadows over his "honor" and "integrity." What would have been and honorable display of integrity is if he had admitted that he changed his positions on abortion to win a general election for the Republican Party once he was out of liberal MA, and that during the course of his campaign he adjusted his campaign mottos to fit the situations (from "Ill bring your jobs back" to get Michigan autoworkers to vote for him, to "Washington is broken, and I am going to CHANGE it.") It was apparent that he saw people on the Democratic side and in the Nation as a whole react to Obama running on "Change we can believe in" and did his best to copy-cat. Smart campaign managers, but not smart enough. Many could see how he, somewhat like Obama, simply told people what they wanted to hear, depending on what group he was speaking to.

As for Grace, Mr. Romney did not look graceful during a portion of several of the debates, obviously disturbed by McCain's jabs and Huckabee's quite accurate insinuations that Romney was the smooth talking, handsome politician with the "perfect" family based in a personally principled but factually challenged faith who changed his tune and smile in order to win whatever election he was running for. Bluntly, he is exactly the type of politician (fiscally stingy, policy flipping, personally untrustworthy) that so many Americans no matter the party, and world citizens in general, do not want leading them.

MCROMNEYS. SOUNDS LIKE A NEW …..OLD FOOD JOINT.

Oh neat.

I didn't realize that Crazy could run with Crazy.

Clinton/Edwards 08′

The Republican Party has begun to realize that aligning themselves with the religious right might not be that good an idea these days, and is trying to move to a more centrist position. Still, you can't just cut ties and move away from your "base" that quickly and not expect some problems. McCain is a centrist, which is why he's having trouble within his party. Taking on Romney as his right hand man would certainly make many of those in the religious right calm down and vote for him instead of not going to the polls at all. How will that play in the real country, outside the beltway? Not well. He's in a very tough position. Turn his back on his party and win an election to an office his party will fight him tooth an nail around, or turn his back on the general electorate and lose his chance at the presidency. Not an enviable position at all.

McCain's quandary may be good news for the Democrats, no matter who comes out on top, but if the infighting and backstabbing doesn't stop on the Democratic side, McCain may very well be elected by people who are tired of the tantrums and silliness…..

well , not sur if Johnny agree with it . Watch his face…hum.. not sure at all if that was in his plan. They fight both in their last debate, and that was not to pretty…Imagine them both in the White House /$?////

I don't think McCain can pick Romney, because the electorate doesn't really trust Romney, and he would take away most of McCain's straight talk credentials. Voters aren't going to go for that pair, especially after, well, you know…

"Bush seems like a nice enough guy, but that Dick Cheney just kind of creeps me out."

Mitt is better than McCain, but both are losers. Barack Obama is our next President.

McCain-Romney would be a scary pair. I believe that Romney's hair would sneak into McCain's bedroom, strangle him and then return to Romey's head to claim its innocence. I don't believe that McCain or Romney have a chance at the presidency, but Romney's hair has delusions of grandeur, as well as an overblown ego. This hair must NOT get into the White House!

Ironically it would be a good fit, because of his (Romney's) staunch support of the Republican Party. Remember the Republican primaries being mostly winner take all (Protocal), took Romney, competitivly out of the race. This race could have been marginally close had it been proportioned ,as the Democrat's count their delagate votes. He's got youth, the East Coast/Pacific Northwest vote, what more else could the Republican Party want?

As long as it isn't Obama who got all those votes on charisma with no substance.

I bet most of you who think that this would be a bad choice are just democrats that wouldn't vote for a republican anyway.Romney would be a much better choice than anyone else that has been mentioned. He has a lot of support and tremendous fund-raising skills. He is the only person on either side who can help the economy. Hillary and Obama will just raise taxes and run on empty promises of change. yeah .. change from our pockets maybe, or a change to socialism. For those Republicans that would rather vote for Obama over a ticket with Romney on it, just because he is on it, are quite ignorant, it would just go to show that you don't care about the issues at all, because Obama represents everything that Republicans fight against. He is a liberal hack and will be the biggest disaster this country has ever seen.

Let's get away from the white male thing and tap Christine Todd Whitman, 2-term Governer of NJ and former EPA Secretary under Bush (he fired her, a badge of honor if you ask me).

wow… I didnt think the Republican ticket could be any worse, but SURPRISE!

And I agree with a commenter above, if Romney is VP, there is NO WAY I would vote for that debacle over Hilary.

I WOULD vote for Nader, but it would probably do me just as good to write my own name in, hah.

Obama 08 all the way, man!

sen. clinton used to be a republican. i'm quite sure she'll accept the vp for sen. mccain, if asked. she endorsed him quite openly anyway. sen. clinton can even ask mrs. ferraro to join her again. it'll be a great team i'm sure!

Barring something really bizarre, the Republicans are going to lose badly this cycle anyway, so McCain's running mate is a trivial consideration.

You republicans are very lucky to have chosen your candidate already. Though I do not vote republican, if Mccain wins I hope he can take your party to a point where all people no matter thier party will feel comfortable voting for both republicans and democrats who are well qualified.

Obama has done just that but Hillary has already said that McCain is better qualified to be president!! This coming from a democrat whose family have enjoyed the huge support of black americans, but now because there's a qualifed black candidate running against them, all of the sudden they say: blacks only vote for him 'cause he's black, or say the media is soft on him, hard on her or he gets too much media attention, or any comments made by her or her serrogates of him are racists, or that because he's black, he has an advantage, or that he is somehow preventing people to speak for themselves, or he's attacking her serrogates to somehow hurt Hillary…and all because he has more delegates and more states…because his message is one of unity, respect for differences, and a change from what has held this country back. He has earned his votes but the clintons make it sound as if he's gotten special treatment!!!

Have you republicans heard Obama say white people votefor her because she's white or that she's getting all the latino and female vote because they like her and she's female, or said "shame on you, hillary clinton" or whined about getting the first que
