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?

    The rumors are swirling. The latest I’ve seen is that Romney is out and that it could be Rudy. Any thoughts?

    The Secret Service story with respect the Romney seems to be a falsehood. I don’t want to believe that McCain would show the poor judgment to choose Mr. Multiple Choice!! We shall see.

    Latest news is that it is Pawlenty. I can live with that prospect, and if true that means I can vote for McCain in November, rather than not voting for President if Romney were on the ticket.
