McCain is making those noises again....
Frankly nominating a VP now seems like a desperate measure indeed...something designed solely to keep Obama's foreign progress off the front pages.
I can recall a proposed GOP gambit from a few months ago to exploit the late republican convention this year by not announcing the VP designate until the middle of the democratic convention.
So much for that idea I guess.
Anyway, Romney is a bad choice all around, the very factors that made him a poor Presidential contender do not appreciable increase his value as a VP candidate.
But apparently McCain has already forgotten Mitt's bizarre Huey Long act in Michigan in which he promised destitute auto workers new factories and higher paychecks without laying a finger on our NAFTA obligations.
The man has poses not policies.
And then there is his serial flip-floppery all in respect of hard core GOP issues as well.
Hated taxes and raised every feel he could lay his cold clammy hands upon...
Cozzled up to the gay vote to get elected and then kicked them all to curb when he caught Potomac fever.
And lets not go into his abortion contortions...
All in all Willard was a fraudulent moderate and worse conservative.
One is hard pressed to recall a governor who made less of an impression on the Commonwealth.
But apparently McCain and the GOP like their Vice Presidential candidates servile and insincere...but honestly other than his money and a chilly condescending stump style Willard brings nothing to the ticket. He can't deliver Massachusetts and the republicans don't need him to carry Utah, the notion that Mitt will play big in Michigan is perfectly laughable in every way.
The punditariat claim that Romney has some serious domestic policy props, but as someone who suffered thru Romney's standard stump speech in NH I can safely say that any teachable can groan thru those talking points sans trouble.
But if Willard is nominated it will be yet another example of John McCain's poor judgement...the public will be heartily sick of Romney by Labor Day, count on it.
