I have to comment on a couple of things. First, does anyone out there know how much Obama spent on his campaign. It costs a lot of money to run for President, no matter what party you belong to. And where does that money go? it goes to pay bills for ads, for flights, for hotel rooms—it goes to us, the American people. So quit complaining.
America's memory is so short. Mitt Romney took the 2002 Olympics that were hundreds of millions in debt and ridden with scandel and made them the most successful games ever! We would have had mud on our faces majorly if it hadn't been for Romney! Where have you people been! What if he were given the chance to do that for America as a nation. We need that. McCain needs that.
And when did we forget about freedom of religion? Mitt Romney has one very amazing wife, who dispit her MS is accomplishing great things in her own right.. His religion is not a cult and is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Get over it and quit bashing. Check out the facts.

Well, two free traders together who are for selling out the American workers on the altar of George Bush's globalism. What are they doing in Michigan? What an insult to the workers in that state.

Headline: McCain and Romney worlds collide in Michigan: How the h–l is this headline relevant to the story — other than, of course, creating a "negative" for McCain with the word "collide." More of the same "bias" — as usual, CNN!

Mitt, if you are smart you'll run the other way - why join a sinking ship.

Romney is a nice guy, yet would have preferred Neut Gingridge.
He's got the fire of the Republic in his blood! But it's up to John

I see Rommey as McCain lapdog…. He wants the VP slot so bad he is salivating. McCain will lose no matter who he chooses for VP.

MIKE - Don't be silly, Sen. Clinton would never be caught on a ticket with McStupid.

Beginning to look more & more like the Bush crowd. way to go McBush.

Well they got Sauls name almost right,just replace the z with an s.

Give it up Obama slaves!

Obama, the great pretender, has no core principles, no moral center, no priority other than winning, no judgment and no intestinal fortitude but he has questionable relationships, a record of acting only for political expediency, an audacious lust for power and egomania beyond belief!

Obama will lose for all of the above reasons!

McCain 08, the only wise choice!

obama 08

Nobama still continues to duck all debates. If he is not reading a prepare speech he screws up royal. He doesn't know anything and he won't be able to say I agree with Clinton, like in all of his previous debates. DEBATE, DEBATE, DEBATE.

Mitt will say and do anything - if he's VP when McOldster is disabled or worse, he gets to be POTUS even if NO ONE would have voted for him.

Wake Up!!!!!!

Romney '12

Let's pretend like Obama has never flipflopped on an issue.

Ian, educate yourself on the Mormon religion buddy, your stupid is showing. If Obama can allow himself and his family to listen to hate speech for 20 years, I think we can allow Romney his beliefs that may not necessarily translate to ours.
He would make a great candidate, I'm sorry Republicans caught on to him too late for the outcome to change!

Duh, Samantha!
The same way the Obama's and Clinton's are dripping in admiration now…are you that naive?

HA! IF LOOKS COULD KILL!! I wonder what pretty boy what thinking at the exact instant the shot was taken? "You crusty, old, …….." or "I just blew $45M and lost to this fool."

I can't wait to see Mitt Romney's melt down when McCain loses this election.

One of the criteria in which you pick your vice-president is that if something happens to the President, your vice-president will make a good president also; Mr. McCain your perfect vice-president is the one and only Mitt Romney, who will also help you win the presidency.

That is of course, if H.R. Clinton does not win the Democratic Nomination at the Denver Convention.

If she win the nomination, all bets are off, she will definitely be the next President of America… God Bless America Indeed!!!

Obamites pollute every forum they spew their filth in…..

Hey, lets pick Obama, because we all know, he is gonna make gas go away, take taxes away, save the whales, ect. If you listen to people, its like his following is a cult. He wont do 20% of the crap he is saying. He is a left-wing liberal that has only been in the senate two years. Yeah. THATs what we need right now.

He still won't win in Michigan…..

I would like to say that many people on this blog are very negative about Mitt Romney and about his religion. I know Mitt personally and know that he is a man of honesty and integrity.

I also have a great deal of respect for his religion.

However, religion should not be a part of the political debate. Our founding fathers and millions of service men and women have worked to protect our liberties and the right to worship as we choose.

We should elevate the discussion to focus on the facts and solutions to the many issues that face our country and not missrepresent a person and his religious views. Many of the comments about polygamy are certainly not true as I believe that anyone caught practicing polygamy is excommunicated from the Mormon church…So how can anyone say that they condone its practice.

McWar take Pretty Boy and put him on your ticket…he might be able to

explain to you how good it is to have more than one wife.

LISTENING MONEYBAGS CINDY?

Hamas for Obama!!

Why do liberals who claim to be so tolerant always take cheap and untrue shots at Mr Romney's religious choice but become totally hysterical when anyone mentions Mr. Obama's "former" pastor? Why does this double standard exist for liberals?

Mitt Romney is a good man with a strong family and core values. If all you have is to poke fun at polygamy to discredit him your opinion is invalid.

Mormons deal with bigotry and misconception every day, its not like this is new for Mr. Romney. But why is it liberals bend over backwards to understand radical islamists and treat people of the Mormon faith who are proud Americans like wackos? The double standard is mind boggling…

How much did they gave, $68??? Or did they gave the full amount?? You tell me the difference…

Isn't that cute..they kissed and made up! Romney is the biggest loser out there.

McCain is just Bush recycled. His Vice will run the country. He'll get Cheney to come back—just watch!

Oh look, another businessman and another former soldier. Yay.

Enough with the lawyers in the white house too. Maybe we should try a teacher and a doctor. Preferably women, but hey, not a deal breaker.

All indications are pointing to Romney. McCain has been saying he does not want surprise like Dan Qualye. Since he is old (72, already receiving social security), he must choose someone who is thought to be President ready. The biggest problem is he is a mormon. But Democrats cannot attack him for religion reason because they do not want conversation on religion, a losing issue for them. Another big problem for Romney is flip-flop. But Obama flip flop a lot and McCain flip flop too. If Democrats attack Romney flip flopping, then they will help Romney to attract moderates.

I bet Romney will be the VP nominee.

General McCain is at it again, go rule the world!!!

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY REPUBLICANS ALWAYS WIN.
THEY STAND UNITED.
DEMS ARE WHINERS.
IF YOU LOOSE PRIMARY, BLAME ON OTHERS. IF YOU HAVE DEBT WHILE CAMPAIGNING, ASK OTHERS. FOR GOD'S SAKE I HAVE ENORMOUS DEBT. WILL YOU PAY OFF MY DEBTS.
I CONTRIBUTED ENOUGH TO HILLARY's, SHE DID NOT MANAGE WELL. NOW I AM DONATING TO A CAMPAIGN WHICH CAN MANAGE STUFFS.

STAND UNITED OR FACE ANOTHER 4 YEARS.
IF WE LOOSE THIS ELECTION, I AM SWITCHING TO BE A REPUBLICAN. I DON'T WANT TO BURN MY HEAT EVERY ELECTION.

Hillary Supporter for Obama (or anybody from Dems).

I believe that, in order to keep my home, my car, my job, and my three children, I will have to vote for McCain and his chosen running mate. Obama will only give everything I (Jane Q Citizen) have away. That is what happens..no joke. Taxes are raised, deficits increase, and the Democrat in office gets richer and richer. Look at the Clintons. I really don't think Hillery or Bill are worried about pulling up the pump or to the local food mart. Well I am! No one is going to take another dime from me. Vote smart vote McCain. '08

Dude, how Brokeback is the look in Romney's eyes in that shot?

I get such a kick out of that picture, Mitt has love in his eyes : )

I also think he makes a better candidate than McCain, saner and more intelligent. I guess it's just another example of the Republican genius, pick the worst candidate then bully and fearmonger your way to the white house with him.

John McCain is clearly NOT who people thought he was.

Give me the democrat any day.

Obama '08

Romney to McCain: I just love you John. When you roll over, I'll take my rightful place.

two loosers……………..what a BIG JOKE a MORMON and a Communist RADICAL who made 32 video's for the VIETCONGS. WAIT FOR THE OCTOBER SURPRISED. WE HAVE G.W. OUST VALERI PLUME, MCCAIN OUT THE G.I. IN VIETNAM!

Well, McCain can look past republican primary fights and differences and choose what's best for his ticket. Let's see if Obama has the courage and the "judgement" to do the same. 1/2 of the democratic primary voters voted for Clinton. It should be clear which choice for V.P. would help Obama the most.

Bow to Romney, McCain ! You need somebody to carry you.

Didn't Charlie Manson's followers speak of him in the glowing terms too ?

Mitt Romney is as plastic as a ken doll and looks like one too

Republicans got their nominee wrong. It'sashame for Romney to be paired with this old idiot.

MCCAIN/ROMNEY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

MCCAIN 08!
HILLARY 12!

You all know Romney is the better candidate than McCain and a better man than Obama.

Another day where McCain collides with his advocates, his staff, his campaign and his opponents.

CNN removed my post. Here you be the judge:
"Don't let the Obama supporters dissuade you from the truth this guy is the best option McCain has by a long shot. I like Huckabee too but he can't help McCain in the way Romney can in Michigan, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Idaho etc. Huckabee can really consolidate the south so I would definitely offer him a position in the cabinet and befriend him the same way he has done with Romney but the areas I mentioned above are a more pressing need. Huck supporters should understand this and support this choice."

Either Romney's going to have to lay off the tanning spray, or McCain is going to need to step outside if they're going to be a pair. The contrast is too much for my eyes! Bad choice for McCain to pick Romney - he'll just be a daily reminder to the people of how old and out of touch McCain really is.

Ps. glad to see less immature name calling. Mc—- is so childish and lack any substantive comments.

bridgette,

I think you are confused with names as you just described your beloved Obama to the bones. Obama is nothing, but a flip-flopper - he has flipped-flipped on every single issue he ran on in the primaries. Obama will say anything and everything to get elected - he has no core values and/or convictions. He is an empty suit full of pretty speeches. No way he is going to be elected president of the United States. No way.

Obama '08 the World Tour. Let's take this global! Obama for the World.

McCain is going to be the next president, so he shouldn't have any problem raising money.

The so-called Democratic leaders totally failed us.

How is it Romney is riding shotgun to McCain? Romney is actually the better of the two.

Saul Anuzis is absolutely right. Mitt is the man whom I would love to see on McCain's ticket. Mitt will guarantee victories for McCain in Michigan, Nevada, and Colorado.

Dear people of America, please educate yourselves when it comes to your choices this year: McCain v. Obama. America will prosper once again with McCain in charge; with Obama - it will go down to drain, guaranteed (socialism will destroy America).

My and my entire household's choice is clear: McCain all the way!

This is just as bad as Obama/Clinton. If McCain picks Romney, it would be just to try and win Michigan and others, not because he really believes in him.

Where's the "Maverick" in that? These two had a blistering primary much like Obama and Clinton, just not as long. Their differences are actually greater than Obama's and Clinton's. These two really hammered each other on a personal level.

Yeah, real Straight Talk………………give me a break.

Anyone else notice how Romney seems to be actively "seeking" the nod from McCain?

"Anuzis argued that Romney would also shore up GOP support in the swing states of Colorado, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Nevada, where Romney enjoyed strong support during the primaries."

That's because he had all his wives campaigning there.

John McCain:

Please pick Romney as your trusted running mate so all the redneck rubes can express their fear and prejudice about a Mormon since they already have a problem with black and that's only a innocent skin color.

Its obvious Mitt is the VP candidate. I can't wait for the bitter primary battles between McCain and Mitt to be rehashed.

This is The Team that will save our country.
Intelligence, integrity and experience that is needed to bring this country back to It's true greatness.

CNN) – Several of Mitt Romney's top fundraisers anted up for John McCain on Friday afternoon in Detroit, and McCain returned the favor with some words of praise for his former rival.
The event raised over $1 million for his campaign
***************************************************************************
DONT kiss up to hard Mitt …… you are not on his SHORT LIST…..He doesn't want anyone to make him look bad…..You're too good looking!!!

Romney is to McCane as HRC is to Obama….an albatros around their neck:)

If he chooses Mitt the glove, that's a sure sign he will lose the nomination.

i'm throwing up in my mouth.

I like Mitt. I don't like his religion but I could stand for him to run for VP. He is smart and well educated and has been a governor.

Obama is an idiot for want to release the prisoners in Git Mo. I suggest when he releases them, that they move into his neighborhood in Chicago. Yeah that;s the ticket. Most of them should move there. The rest could go to San Frnacisco and Pelosi's Neighborhood.

Obama has never commanded anything except maybe the debate club. He has no experience. He is as green as the corn in July.

Now he has made his policy, he is going to the Middle East to tell the war lords that if they wait a few weeks and if he is elected he will pull our troops out of Iraq and let the Iranians have their way there.

He is a girlie man with no morals and no scruples either.

You know..I believe in July some community will be convening a conference in Washinton on race and reconciliation with political, spiritual and business leaders as reported by CNN. Their goal is to further a national conversation about the need for truth, tolerance and reconciliation.

Some are skeptical of Romney's candidacy for VP because of his religous beliefs. From what I have read about him, he does share the same views on same-sex marriage issues, is pro-life but differs on energy issues which I find interesting. His respect for McCaines views though they differ, his performance as governor on healthcare issues, his views on immigration and giving credit where credit is due is in my opinion are good example of tolerance and respect that I think some community groups are struggling to grasp. This is the reason I believe race has no place in this presidential race that have been thrown in by the Democratic presumptive nominee. The lack of respect on race, ethnic and religous prejudice.

Betancourt called France her home. Yet she chose to run for Presidency in Colombia. Another example is Oprah. Oprah chose to build an all girls leadership academy in Africa and was heavily criticized for ignoring the black inner city kids. She gave genuine reasons. I don't Americans are interested in the love affair of a white man and a fair skinned black woman either. Americans are more interested in information to better their lives. Bill Gates has provided a way to just that. And his foundation is working right beside Oprah's. So what is the big deal about Obama replacing a white man in the White House.

McCain dined at a table with at least two of Romney’s top fundraisers — John Rakolta, Jr. and Ed Levy, Jr., both of whom were Bush "Rangers" during the 2004 cycle.

another Bush reference…i can see now McCain is nothing like Bush….lol i am sorry i tried to keep a straight face.

Romney would be a decent VP pick. Huck would be better, though.

Adding Mitt Romney as a running mate is the only thing I see John McCain doing correct.

Currently his team is in a sad state of confussion.

Mitt is has the best knowledge of the economy and help us out the most, compared to any other politician in this election cycle on either side. He has the knowledge and the experience to improve the economy!

Why don't you report about on the distain and furer of the debates between McCain and Romney that took place while campaigning, and point out the reasons why McCain thought Romney was so inadequate instead of making it look as though they are suitable running mates. How can one just discount all that hate in McCains face during the debates, and now make it like they are the best of friends.

Wow…what the American people could have done with $600 million. So, 3 people have spent $600 Million. Shouldn't THAT be an outrage!!

so, Obama has raised something like $242 Million and is polling at 47%. McCain has raised about $119 Million and is at 41%. The CNN polls say 12% unsure.

But, Bob Barr has raised only $468,000 and is polling at 6% in a Zogby poll. My money is on Barr. Obviously if he's only raised a fraction of what the others have done, and he's polling so well, his message is getting out to people in ways that do not have to be bought.

When you think of it, between Hillary (raised $229 Million), Obama and McCain, there is close to $600 Million raised to buy the white house. Think of where all of that money has gone and how they are just paying for loud personal attacks through the media.

I'm voting for Barr, because his message is the best of all candidates and is being heard without paying off people.

two evil brothers!!!!!!!!!!!

everytime i see these two i feel like im gonna lose my lunch!!!

Obama Still Did Better So Ha Ha Ha!

Lobbyists absolutely love these guys.

Hey Mitt, maybe you should ask them about that 80 mil you blew!

Sucker.

Romney hated and bashed McCain just months ago and now he is singing his praises.

Oooooo… I hope McBush picks Robotney! What a revolting pair they will make…

blah blah blah

Mitt Romney, loser extraordinaire….lost $45,000,000 of his own Money during the primaries…and get this ,he is part of a religious cult that supports polygamy..great just what this country needs..

Obama 08

What? McCain should not be speaking about family values. Many Republicans try to paint themselves as being humble people with great families, yet are quite mean-spirited. McCain, do you use *fear* with your family like you try to do with America right now?

How phony!

Is it just me or is there something really evil looking about Mitt Romney. I just had a problem with him all through the election like he would say whatever he needed too say in front of whomever he was speaking too at the moment.

This picture makes me laugh every time I see it…Mitt looks like he wants to plant a loving kiss on McCain……..he is looking at him with such love and awe!!!!

How cute…..

Mitt….."an outstanding individual"????

That's not what you said during the campaign, McFlip!

This great nation can't take another four more years of the same failed Repugnant Party policies!

It's time to change for the better.

Obama./Nunn in 2008 and beyond!

From day one that I saw McCain and Romney interacting together, I sensed "wrong" chemistry between them. They still talking to each other for the sake of the GOP, but not for the sake of "friendship".

I feel than Romney is not to be trusted politically and privately.

It's better for McCain to enjoy life while he still can and leave the political scene. I feel that Obama will be the next president (hope nobody will shoot him if elected…)

This team will come out winner in Nov.

Sen, Obama needs to be careful about his running mate. Only Sen, Hillary will save him.

I want John to pick Romney because nobody likes him. He will be a great person to campaign against. Yes, bring on Romney–another plastic politician who doesn't know anything about the average American and doesn't care.

In the picture, Mitt looks like he takes pity on the poor old man.

I hope he picks him as his VP that will be the last nail in the coffin for Mc Cains campaign! lies lies lies all the GOP knows is lie lie lie.

McSame/Romney ticket…put the nails in the coffin for any republican prayer of a win a November. …Please McShame..pick Romney..you'll be polling in the single digit area, and out of the race faster than any of could have wanted.

PUMA people your boy is looking better everyday. Come on out and stand up for him. What a joke you guys are. No voice, No money to bail out your love Hillary. I will help her out because the party is counting on her. Hillary is a team player but it's a shame that I can't say the same about you.Obama08

Obama wants change… All the change in YOUR pockets!
McCain'08

Then everything McCain said negative about Romney during the campaign were just lies - excusable because of the political expediency?

Yuck, yuck yuck! Who cares!

Mitt Romney is a flip flopper just like Mcwar aka McBush.

These two Guy,s both live on the same Planet…. Borack Obama is still on the Moon…

Who cares about these silly rethugs?!
