Romney Family Gets Security Sweep

Fox News exclusively confirms that John McCain has finalized his choice for Vice President and notes that both Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty have cleared their schedules

2714541690 5b9a6c4e64 o John McCain Watch: Is it Romney?

Senator John McCain and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney

Matt Drudge has a poll up on his main page and Romney is beating second place Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison almost three to 1. Tim Pawlenty is in fourth place behind a dark horse candidate selection.

On Intrade, Mitt Romney is leading Tim Pawlenty 62.2 to 20.0 up 17 points. Tom Ridge is in third place.

So, will Mitt Romney be the GOP Vice Presidential selection?

Conventional wisdom says yes but Flap can feel the deflation out of the GOP if McCain chooses him. Americans want different this election season and Mitt Romney along with McCain will assure an Obama-Biden win in November.

The GOP desperately needs to attract independent and women voters and with that……

Flap’s picks:

!. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

2. Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison

3. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty

4. Lousiana Governor Bobby Jindal

Update:

Ambinder says McCain keeps mentioning former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge this morning. A clue?

2806142596 704536fd72 o Barack Obama Denver Stage   OMG

The New York Post is right on this Greek/Roman comedy

Barack Obama will tonight formally accept the nomination of the Democrat Party for President at Invesco Field in Denver.

But, in what is called a “classically-themed backdrop” with fireworks timed to be set off after Obama utters his last line of his speech, regular voters are aghast at the spectacular.

Here is another look at the stage:

2805284229 e796fc2f68 o Barack Obama Denver Stage   OMG

Anyone think this will play in the working class neighborhoods of Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania?

Guess EVEN some Dems are getting nervous about the setting.

“Remote Control”

Team McCain released this web video last night while Flap was at the reirtement dinner. In it the McCainiacs use clips of former Deomcrat rivals, including Hillary Clinton to slam Barack Obama on his inexperience.

Key Graph:

You know, I am a believer in … in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that … if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. Now there may be some people who are comfortable doing that, but I am not one of those people. — Barack Obama, 2004

The ad is a little on the longish side so it will be cut and broken into 30 second sound bites. Watch for parts of it to be on television throughout the fall.
