McCain Veep Nominee: Pawlenty or Romney, Romney or Pawlenty

Vice presidential speculation intensifies! The common wisdom—and the betting markets—seem to be congealing around Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney as the two likely picks to be John McCain's running mate. Like many others today, I have heard the pick will be made much sooner rather than later. Pawlenty has the momentum in the Speculation Sweepstakes, but my sources still think it will be Romney.

Mitt is my VP choice all the way...

He's well suited for McCain's VP and would bring

hope and security to the Republican ticket.

Vp

Romney should be McCain choice as his Vice president.Iam From Michigan and many not just a few will go with the McCain-Romney ticket that I have spoken with in the western Michigan area.HIS FATHER gEORGE rOMNEY A REPUBLICAN was a a friend both to business and labor when he served as governor in the 60's.The people here both Democrat and republicans have not forgot him and thats why Mitt will win Michigan believing that he shares the same ideals and beliefs as his father.

If McCain does not take Romney I firmly believe the Republicans will lose this State. Tell that to McCain please.
