GOP Focus for McCain Veep On Romney, Then Lieberman and Pawlenty

McCain is not going to get elected for office no matter if he chooses Romney(indecisive), Lieberman(Minnesota, come on), or Pawlenty(who's this?). Barack Obama is the leader we need to run this country, that has been marked with a bad reputation since Bush was elected. Obama will make changes, and everyone knows how Republicans are pro-war:anti-change. So, open your eyes and accept the change, conservative losers.

Obama needs to give credit to black ministers like Louis Farrakhan and Rev Jeremiah Wright for teaching him the oratory skills he uses to fire up the masses. I really expected to see a million marchers in Denver.

Just tell us it's Romney and get on with it! Everyone knows that he's hands-down the best choice.

Remember Meg was listed by McCaon as one of the three people whose advice he trusts the most. It'll be Romney then.

Why do Romney supporters think he would bring anything to the ticket? He was fiercely unpopular with all the other Republican candidates and their voters voiced it during the primaries. He appears arrogant, and it is apparent he only wants his foot in the door for his own political aspirations for President.
His brown-nosing of McCain is disingenuous and transparent. He can never be of help to unite the country, no matter how qualified HE may think he is. Romney is so vastly unpopular with the man on the street.
Presumptuously, the wealthy political pundits want him and brand him as their choice. They are in the same tax bracket. Other than the 2% Americans that are wealthy, a few Mormons,and even fewer evangelicals (non-Huckabee ones who don't despise him) I cannot see who he would bring to the polls for McCain; Certainly not the average Joe on the street.
My fear is that Romney would try to run things like a narcissitic dictator, even running over John McCain. He lacks listening skills,compassion in his voice and face,and humor. Can anyone honestly see him next to any foreign dignitary when they say something that he does not like and he responds with his infamous scowl face and a condescending vulturous bite.
If McCain "buys" into Romney as a VP choice my faith in the political process goes nil. Trustworthiness,good communication skills, respect, and solid values matter when it comes to someone dependable to LEAD the nation. Coming from wealth, he may know how to make wealth, but Romney lacks some of the qualities of intelligent leadership and is not as capable as some perceive him to be for VP.

Mitt Romney would be the best thing to happen to this ticket!

The most important decision MCCain will have is picking the RIGHT VP. The fact of the matter is that America is to close to falling into a socialist regime, and the only option for MCCain is to pick Mitt Romney and together implement and stick with true conservative values, like family, language, borders, life, respect, and integrity. Americans are mostly Conservative not just Republicans/Independent. God Bless America always.
