Jimmy P. at the DNC—My sources tell me that Mitt Romney will not be John McCain's running mate. Joe Lieberman, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Meg Whitman still in the mix. Developing...

Romney or no vote from this veteran

If McCain fails to pick Romney it's game over. 4 years of higher taxes, gun control, and socialized medicine for illegal aliens. We are well on the way to a great depression with Obama at the helm.

So much for uniting the republican party

Comments such that if Romney is not on the ticket then no campaigning or voting for McCain. Romney lost in the primaries and he will be unable to bring voters to the ticket if chosen VP. He was unpopular to the voters of essentially all the other candidates because of his dirty policitcs and their votes voiced it. Voters think he is arrogant, and do not like his personality or the way he communicates. I personally am disgusted by his condescending attitude and his self-centeredness. He would be more like a dictator than a leader. I think he wants a VP spot, not to support McCain but for himself, thinking it would help him get elected President in the 2012 election. If he ends up on the ticket,then I would bet that he bought the VP spot. I find him disingenuous and untrustworthy. I think if he were President he would have a very hard time uniting America. I would never vote for him and the idea of a McCain-Romney ticket is repulsive to me.

Follow up re: It's Pawlenty

A follow up to my previous post, with regards to the accuracy of intrade.com. During the 2006 Senate races, they picked the winners with 100% correct. It's one thing to take exit on online polls as the truth but when you a choice by using your own money, that changes the result.
