I think Pawlenty has a better chance.

Romney is more GENUINE that any candidate on the national scene!! Obama changes his positions daily–on the surge, on finance reform, etc. etc. Isn’t Obama more of a charlatan than anyone who has run in the campaigns? Even McCain did not have the integrity to maintain his first marriage. Romney realized he was wrong and changed his mind on abortion etc. What is wrong with changing your opinion when you realize you are mistaken? Only a GENUINE, honest man can have a longlasting good marriage, a united strong family, success in business and with the Winter Olympics, and the respect of both religious and nonreligious citizens. It seems some badmouth Romney because they fear him because of his integrity and honesty. Remember the numbers that voted for him and the huge numbers that did not want him to drop out!

ALS,

Romney genuine: what are you smoking!! The guy is an absolute political fraud, who when he sought the Republican nomination changed his prior positions on at least six major issues. His only core belief is to say what he believes is the most politically expedient at the moment.

He outspent his opponents by a ratio of four-five and still lost. Most americans don’t want him. Rombots should admit the fact.

DENNIS AND FLAP, OR WHATEVER YOUR NAMES ARE. YOU BOTH ARE THE BIGGEST FOOLS I’VE HEARD IN A WHILE. CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH BOTH OF YOU. I SUSPECT ANTI MORMON, EVEN THOUGH YOU WON’T ADMIT IT. NOW I DON’T KNOW THAT, BUT HOW CAN YOU BLAME. IT DEFIES ALL LOGIC AND IS NOT IN HARMONY WITH SOMEBODY WHO HAS A BRAIN AS WELL AS CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY. MITT IS THE ONLY PERSON TO BE STRAIGHT FORWARD ABOUT HIS, WHICH WAS NOT A PERSONAL CHANGE, BUT WHAT HE THOUGHT GOVERMENTS ROLE SHOULD BE. HE RAN AND SAID HE WOULD SUPPORT THE LAWS AS THEY ARE AND IN THAT SENSE HE WAS EFFECTIVE PRO CHOICE, BUT HE WAS PERSONALLY PRO LIFE. EVIDENTLY YOU GUYS CANT THINK FOR YOURSELF AND HAVE BEEN DECIEVED BY THE MEDIA AND HIS ENEMYS. I HOPE YOU GUYS WERENT HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS. HE RAN THE MOST UNAMERICAN BIGOTED CAMPAIGN”DISHONEST” EVER. KEEP IN MIND MCCAIN LIED TO WIN FLORIDA AND OBAMA LIED HIS WHOLE WAY THROUGH THE PRIMARIES, OR DECIEVED. EVERYONE CHANGED POSITIONS MORE THAN ROMNEY, THERE WAS NOT SIX CHANGES ON POSISTIOS BY ROMNEY. THATS QUITE AN EXAGERATION, SO MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN STOP LYING TO EVERYBODY.
“

There are many of us out there that think Mitt Romney is the very best choice in the Veepstakes. I continue to stand by my man, Mitt, regardless of any of the mean-spirited and illogical accusations you make against him. This country is headed for catastrophic concerns should Obama become president and we need to get behind those who can defeat Obama at all cost. Mitt and McCain–they can do it!

Aaron,

I can’t agree more with you. I used to have some respect for Huckabee in the beginning days of the campaign, but after I saw the bigotry and underhanded remarks made by him towards a decent man like Mitt Romney, that totally soured me on Huckabee. Some of his antics appeared to be very un-Christianlike coming from a Baptist preacher. I couldn’t have been more pleased when the man finally stepped out of the race. I am all for character and integrity as I sift among the presidential hopefuls and vice presidential candidates. Mitt Romney continues to come out on top in my assessment. He’s a genius in business and conducts himself like a president. No more of the likes of a Mr. Clinton in the White House.

Do you remember why HUCKABEE was #6 on Judicial Watch’s list of the TEN MOST WANTED CORRUPT POLITICIANS OF 2007? “Huckabee’s career has been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office. And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.”

In 2006, when Huckabee was governor of Arkansas the Cato Institute gave him an “F” on his term for several reasons; chief among them “insisting on raising taxes at almost every turn throughout his final term.” The article notes that Huckabee was the only presidential candidate AGAINST school choice. See: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=8838

In 2006, the Club for Growth revealed the habitual tax-hiking of Huckabee: He signed a three cent gas tax increase in 1999, called for a state sales tax hike in 200, signed a 25-cent cigarette tax hike in 2003, allowed a major tax hike package to pass in 2004. He increased spending 65.3% from 1996 to 2004. (Tax and spending info provided by Americans for Tax Reform)

During his years as governor, Huckabee granted clemency to convicted criminals an average of about once every four days. (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=3976341)

FLIP – FLOPPER Huckabee pushed for in-state college tuition breaks and scholarships for illegals. http://myclob.pbwiki.com/Huckabee+Lies Now, he claims he’s all for controlling the borders and ousting illegals. FLIP-FLOPPER Huckabee supported a federal smoking ban and now no longer supports it. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/01/15/pandermania-huckabee-no-longer-supports-federal-smoking-ban/

How about Huckabee’s negative ad against Romney that was cleared to air – didn’t air – but aired for the press? And Huckabee’s Christmas ad with the floating cross? Ed Rollins, former Huckabee campaign manager, has admitted that the “floating cross” and “negative ad that wasn’t” etc., were all really ploys to get free media – which means that HUCKABEE WAS LYING ALL ALONG. (http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/news/huckabees_notsodivine_intervention_84634.asp?c=rss)

What about Mike’s bigoted statements about Romney’s religion? (too many sources to list…) What about the open letter advertisement to Senator McCain by Huckabee supporters warning him not to choose Romney for VP and their NoMittforVP website ? http://www.govnotgod.org/pdfs/NoMittPrescottAZ.pdf Huckabee admits having received an email about it before it was published but claims he had nothing to do with it. Huckabee also said of the anti-Romney ad that he “has no position on it one way or the other.” Many believe Huckabee had a finger in this ad. Huckabee’s post-primary comments that he didn’t try to “buy the presidency and that’s a good thing” are still meant to smear Romney. He just can’t give it up.

Mitt Romney SHARES the same conservative values as evangelicals. His ACTIONS have proven it. Romney can help our crippled nation economically. His very life is one long list of accomplishments – of DOING. ROMNEY IS A GOOD MAN AND WANTS TO HELP OUR CONSERVATIVE CAUSE. HE’S ON THE SAME SIDE AS EVANGELICALS. We need him as Veep for many reasons.: to rectify wasteful government spending, set us on the right track for energy independence, eliminate titanic trade deficits, do away with ineffective federal bureaucracies, streamline current federal programs so we actually GET what we pay for, help grow small businesses, encourage off-shore companies to return to the states, close our gaping open-gate borders, clean up our public debt to China and Japan, and do something about our devalued U.S. dollar that cheapens U.S. assets.

How many times have we heard that government is inefficient and should be run like a business? The United States is in grave financial straits. In Romney, we have a chance to get REAL business knowledge with proven results in Washington.

Keep, in mind Huckabee was hitting Romney way below the belt, before Romney ran those adds, which were fair and nice adds. Huckabee ofcourse got people to think it was vicious attacking, nothing could be farther from the truth. If there was anything on Romneys part it was a difference in opinion or interpretation of things. Huckabee however lied deliberately and knowingly, saying Romney believed in a set timetable, ofcourse he was following McCain, who used Huckabee. Romney was not the person going around making lies and illiciting negative feelings on ones religion. Also it’s known people that worked for him were making robo calls about Romney faith. Also one of his children on his official website was blogging back and forth, saying the Mormon Church is a cult ect, ect, ect. Romney needed to be defeated. This was published on very credible websites, with links to Huckabees. If he’s not a mormon bigot then I don’t what is. It’s sad, because this will come back to bite evangelicals. Dividing the nation, rather than uniting. I think James Dobson is affraid Romney will steal the family issue from him. Also the lie about the 50 dollar co pay in the Mass. Health Care Plan, for something having to do with abortion. Huck said Romney put that in the bill. Thats not true, the most liberal statehouse in the country put that in. Anyways, I’ve found Huck supporters to be following very emotional talking points and sound bites, regaurdless of weather there true or not. Aaron

Pawlenty praises Romney!

Thanks, for the link, but it’s probably a bunch of Hocus Pocus. Have you read the new artice at Washington Times”Evangelicals warn against Romney McCain ticket” I’m freakin lovin this. This is going to be interesting. It is comedy.

The wall street article is of no consequence. Most americans will not be able to understand all those complicated details. The Dems would make a mistake to take to much time on it. Romney did not create the most perfect health care plan ever to be formed on Gods green earth, but most importantly, he took a huge and bold and couragious step, the first ever. The guy is not talk and is a historic underestimated figure. He died and came back on his Mormon Mission in France, while his dad was running for Pres. He speaks French and as far as i’m concerned, all this emotional hype over historic candidates”Barrack, Hillary” is increasing the nature of his eventual succes and historic Presidency, as well as the fierce opposition towards him, of which I am grateful for. AARON

I think Palin will be Romneys Vice eventually. I do like her, very much. She is pue and truly a good and strong women, but she makes no sense next to McCain. Remember, Romney works with a female partner very well. Lt. Gov. Healey of Mass. He broke from the norm and chose her. AARON

I think Mitt would be a good choice, but McCain has an uphill battle regardless
of who the VEEP is. Pawlenty may help narrow the gap in MN & WI but not certain if
we can win either state. Bottom line is I feel that Mitt is a safer choice.

Jims last blog post..July Central Committee Summary

Peolple ahve said” Romney, his looks and his religion will overshadow McCain” Well duhh people, thats exactly what McCain needs, at least a little. Remember, he’s the oldest nominee ever and has health problems . Anyways if we get into a fight over which Church someone goes to, than I think that will backfire on Obama. There is potential for endless videos of racism, ego and hate, as well as some real anti american statements, from Obamas church. The Mormon Church is as patriotic as they come, born in the US. It’s simply a few bigots towards mormons on the extreme right. This however is a election thts about a handfull of key states. Romney for so many reasons is by far McCains best pick and hope to win key states. AARON

Hey,all these guys have flipp,flopped ,but Obama flip flp[s best! If they were women…It’s a womans privledge to change her mind! So what ,when we become more educated on subjects,sometimes we have to change our minds.Why would we want a stick in the mud who is too rigid to change his mind?? Romney is best cause he will look better to younger voters.the guy with the grey hair is WRONG, mainly because it would be two grey haired men,grey hair says too old to young voters. one grey is good,two is too much! Liberman has already run for VP,awhile back. and he did not help.Romney is also good ,because around 50% of the mormon church,I believe, is now spanish. If you wanted someone to balance your checkbook,would you want an financial expert like Romney,or somone just starting out,with very little experiencelike Obama?

And Flap,
Sarah Palin would do everybody a big service by getting Ted Stevens to drop out and taking his spot . She can hold a critical Senate seat in Alaska against Begich. People in Alaska already know her. Certainly the 2200 voters in Wasilla know her from her turn as Mayor before the Governorship. But there is absolutely no way Sarah Palin can be effectively introduced to the nation in the very short time McCain has in this year of September conventions. If he wanted her, he should have selected her in May and spent the summer introducing her. No one, except a few political aficionados , ever heard of her. Obama would focus on the one person that has a shorter resume than he has and correctly point out that she would be one ” incident” away from the Oval office and 3 years detached from being the Mayor of Wasilla ( Population 8400 ). Also, there is an ongoing investigation. It is probably political and will come to nought, BUT, there is a chance, in October, for a surprise that would grab the headlines and perhaps steal a tight election away from McCain.

Flap,
Can you believe what the Dems would do with Carly Fiorina?She was responsible for literally thousands of lost jobs in downsizing exercises at ATT and HP. Then, she was fired by the HP Board for not making the numbers AFTER these folks were ” let go.”

1. Mitt didn’t nominate the judge. Mitt can’t control what judges do. Irrelevant

Romney approved Tuttman’s nomination to the commonwealth’s Governor’s Council, an eight-member body elected to screen and confirm a variety of gubernatorial appointees, including judicial appointees. The council approved Tuttman’s nomination.

2. Mitt has flipped on abortion. Only flip.

3. Romney never supported McCain – Feingold. No flip here.

Romney campaign responds, saying Romney never supported McCain-Feingold: “Governor Romney has supported transparency and accountability, but he wholeheartedly agrees with conservative activists across the country that the McCain-Feingold-Thompson campaign finance legislation authored by Fred Thompson was an abomination that restricted the First Amendment rights of conservative advocacy groups who wanted their voice heard in the political process Governor Romney will not relent in his disagreement with Fred Thompson and John McCain on their support of that legislation that hindered the conservative movement’s role in the political process.”

4. Read this

Romney opposes both gay marriage and civil unions but if he is forced to choose between the two he’ll choose civil unions

5. I’m not Mitt so I don’t know when he has gone hunting. Perhaps he does perhaps he doesn’t. Doesn’t have anything to do with the issues though.

6. So what, he likes L. Ron Hubbard? Is it a sin?

7. How is putting a dog on top of a car relevant to the issues or even Mitt Romney? I assure you I’ve done some things that I’ve later looked back on and wish I hadn’t done.

8. The actions surrogates commit do not in anyway reflect Gov. Romney unless he lags in condemning what the surrogate did. The post doesn’t state whether Mitt fired him but I hope you find out if he did.

9. Again it doesn’t state if Mitt refunded the money, tell me what you find.

10. So what if the 5 Romney brothers and Mitt himself did not go into war? Mitt avoided the military by having a educational/religious deferment, once he finished them he had a high lottery number resulting in him not serving. Does not joining the military make you less patriotic? Though I agree Mitt shouldn’t have made the comparison between getting him elected and serving in the military.

11. It’s absolutely impossible to pass legislation as a Republican governor/president with a Democratically controlled house and or senate. Mitt Romney tried to pass an all Republican bill but what do you know? The Democratic legislature struck it down, making the Governor edit the bill to add unnecessary addendum to please the Democrats so they could sign it.

12. Again Mitt can’t control what his/her surrogates do nor can he control their companies. If a person who handled his campaign in South Carolina chooses to privately use his company to be negative against a candidate, its ok. Mitt disavowed the content of the website though he has not reason to apologize. The 2 things are totally different from each other.

13. He refused to sign a ‘no-new tax pledge’ because he didn’t want to be inhibited if he had to raise taxes for a reason. He didn’t raise taxes though had fees raised such as fixing the road signs for inflation and raising D.L fees. There is a difference between taxes and fees.

14. Romney was wrong in saying he had been a strong Republican when he was pro-choice for much of his term. Though again and again he is against gay marriage and civil unions.

15. I don’t quite understand what consulting with lawyers matters. Enlighten me!

16. Mitt made a mistake with his advisers, big deal.

17. Mitt made a mistake about the NRA endorsement.

So, out of 17 only about 2 or 3 are actually gaffes or flips.

SteveAndrews last blog post..One Very Big Reason to Vote for Dr. Bob Onder in Missouri’s 9th CD, Part 3

The final decision should rest with McCain, as to who he prefers as his VP. However, I can’t think of anyone that I would even recommend. Sad really.
