Public Opinion: McCain-Romney? Whom Should McCain Select as His Vice Presidential Running Mate?

Mitt Romney for VP!

Mitt Romney is a leader and should have been our nominee for President. He is gifted by God with the skills to help lead our country. McCain needs somebody very strong to help organize a good campaign and inspire the American people. If he doesn't select a strong running mate, Obama will win for sure.

Anyone but Romney

PLEASE, McCain... Anyone but Romney! If the guy is a Mormon, he's clearly not functioning above the shoulders. Why not Powell? He'd make you a shoe-in. Forget that Romney can raise funds quickly... What's best for the United States? Historically, many candidates have been elected on skimpy budgets on the strength of their character. A "character" like Romney would be the WRONG decision. You have my vote, unless you select Romney... Then I'll be forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.

Romney Has It All

Mitt Romney is a leader, highly intelligent, with strong values. His organizational and communication skills are unmatched. He's not just a good candidate who can inspire people, he can actually help our country. McCain is a long shot but Romney would give him a fighting chance.

Mitt for President, not VP

It's sad that everyone realized too late that Romney should have been the presidential nominee instead of McCain. We would not be having this discussion over the importance of VP had that been the case because Mitt would have easily carried himself.

Nontheless, Romney should be the obvious choice for McCain as a running mate. The media will not help McCain become president as they did for the republican nominee, and he will need someone with organizational skills like Romney to assemble an organization to compete with Obama.

Romney is my chose

Romney has the background and ability to help to balance our budget. He is a family man and a good christian. He loves America and would do all he could to get us back to the basics. He did a good job as gov. of Massachusetts, why not

give him a chance to help us save out wondeful country.

Got to be Huckabee!!!!!

Got to be Huckabee!!!!!

Without him McCain may lose BIG?

Tough pick-tie goes to Cantor or Jindall

Cantor to me seems the sleeper pick. I'm supporting McCain and I'm not sure who his VP is will matter to me unless it's Clinton. I'm from VA so I know a little bit about Cantor, he seems to bring experience, conservative credentials and youth to the ticket. He did a speech a while back that I thought really was great--hit the important stuff, the crowd loved him and he didnt scare folks up here who are more moderate.

Jindall is the 30-somthing wonderkin with a great story. If he had even one term in LA under his belt I think this would be a no-brainer. His record would make Obama's reforms look laughable.

Romney is also a decent pick I just think the Dems will eat his lunch running old video of him being opposed to what he is saying now. The Dems seem bitter about the Kerry "I voted for it before I was against it," treatment they got and they are out for blood this year. WIth Kennedy sick, it will make Romney's job that much harder to explain why he was so far left in the Senate race. Tough stuff, not sure Romeny has the media credibility or the savy to pull that off. You just get killed when they have video of you being on both sides of an issue.

People like Jindall, Thune, Cantor who, like it or not, never had to get elected in Mass. have a leg up in the authenticity area.

Huckabee seems interesting, but like Romney, seems to struggle with the base. He is for some conservative stuff, but his economic record is mixed at best. I wonder also if the Dems wont just paint him as a creature of the religious right. Granted their messiah, Al Gore, gets a huge pas with his new religion, but still in a tight year can McCain afford to have to explain Huckabee's religious ties. He ran a fun campaign--and that shuldnt be overlooked and he did best Romney in a number of states however, but I think that may be more a strike against Romney's appeal than Huckabee's strength.

What happened to Pawlenty? I thought he basically had it a few months ago.

McCain's Running Mate

Mike Huckabee!

Mitt for VP

I think that Charles is right. McCain, in my opinion, needs someone who can run the country if something happens to him. Mitt would be perfect for the job since he has both public and private executive experience. Although being a successful executive will not necessarily make him great at macroeconomics, he should have the pulse of what the business community needs to get this economy going.

He will also solidfy the social conservative base of the Republican party since he shares similar values even though the social conservative base are wary about his religion. (I really don't understand this if I guy shares your similar values then why does his religion matter?)

MITT ROMNEY

I'M NOT VOTING UNLESS MCCAIN PUTS ROMNEY ON THE TICKET FOR V.P.!!!

WHAT HE DID FOR THE OLYMPICS AND HIS SQUEEKY CLEAN PAST AND FAMILY VALUES.HE ALSO HAS VAST EXPERIANCE TO PULL US OUT OF THIS ECONOMY SLUMP!!! WE NEED A TRUE CONSERVATIVE AND MCCAIN KNOWS THAT IN ORDER TO BEAT OBAMA HE NEEDS TO SWING TO THE CENTER BUT HAVE HIS V.P. CONSERVATIVE
