If Karl Rove Wants McCain/Romney, Who Are We to Argue?
As Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to destroy their party fight for the nomination, John McCain is visiting the tap-dancing fool who currently resides in the White House, and is talking about finding a running mate.
[R]eferring to the fact that in 2000 Bush asked Cheney to help him pick a vice president and then Cheney ended up as the choice - Bush did offer one piece of vice presidential advice to McCain.”I’d tell him to be careful about who he names to be the head of the selection committee,” Bush said.
Hey—Mitt Romney isn’t doing anything right now. Why not give him a call?
Even Karl Rove wants McCain to consider it.
Karl Rove is among those who have called for a unity ticket between Romney and McCain, who appeared together in Boston last month when Romney formally endorsed the Arizona senator.
Sure, McCain once compared Romney to a pig. But he’s a pig who appeals to conservatives! Also, he’s a young pig, which will offset complaints about how long the Arizona senator has been in the stall.
We checked Romney’s website and MySpace page for changes that would reflect how he feels about the possibility. His website is still shuttered, and McCain isn’t in Mitt’s top 24 yet. So if we have the pleasure of a McCain/Romney ticket, we won’t find out about it anytime soon.
If Romney doesn’t work out, we still may have another local guy who may be interested.
[Curt Schilling] said he may even hit the campaign trail. “If [McCain] asks and the schedule permits, I’d do whatever,” he said.
It’s not like he’s going to be pitching much (if at all) this year. Though we don’t think this would be a great match—both men have the tendency to shoot their mouths off. But it sure would keep McCain in the headlines while the Democrats continue to search for a nominee.

Trying to understand the Romney deal. The media went out of their way to chastise Romney. What’s the point of this article and where in the world is Harry Reid (Mormon joke)?

I’m with Campbell. I’m not sure what exactly this article is trying to imply, but it seems full of snark and innuendo.
Massachusetts could have done a lot worse than Romney. For instance, Romney never tried to solve budget problems by huge tax increases on the mathematically challenged.

Mev, how can anything seem to be full of anything? It’s either full or it isn’t. And while I’m on the topic, I’d like to decry the fact that this opinion piece seems full of bias. I DEMAND OBJECTIVITY IN ALL MY OPINION PIECES.

Sometimes people’s worst enemies can become their most loyal friends over time . . . I’ve seen it. Wouldn’t surprise me if McCain and Romney team up.

I don’t know that Romney would want the GOP ticket running partner job. I would be concerned about the job approval vote in connection with rising economic worries. So, why should Romney risk the idea of declining public opinion polls because of the economy while acting as the VP behind McCain. Talk about negativity from both sides in preparation for another candidacy in 2012. I have yet to see why Romney should run as the VP. To many people are speculating that McCain will not make it through the first term in office when it is still within the realm of possibility.
