HuffPo for Jesus

OK, so they want McCain to move right so that he'll piss off the middle that Dick Morris says is his in this post downstream.

This guy makes an excellent case for Romney as McCain's running mate: (1) already vetted and with name recognition, (2) got money (mac is broke) and means to get more and try to match Obama who's got tons (JJ keeps forgetting about that), (3) has executive and managerial experience (as opposed to all those gas-bag Senators), and (4) can and will energize the base, who's dispirited (well, almost all the base -- except those who hate Mormons...) Also, incidentally, Romney could deliver Michigan, which may well be the state that tips the election in 2008, like Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Now, of course there are risks in anything you do. But who's a potentially better running mate than Mitt? Let's hear the comparisons.

OK, better than Mitt intellectually is Lieberman. I think the right-wingers need to be thrown a bone, though, and a Connecticut Jew with all the right words and fantastic brain is not going to do it. He'll get whatever rational Democrats that McCain can't get on his own, but there will be few if Obama is at the head of the ticket.

Who better than Mitt? What a question. I still think he brings a lot of negatives and hardly anythign other than Michigan. Michigan could of course be crucial.

What if California gets even closer on account of the gay marriage fiasco their high court has imposed and Mac goes Western on us?

Who's big and smart in Cali?

How about cutting the Dems' historicity out from under them and gettting Condi? She's a hell of a lot smarter than either of the Obamas and most Democrats. Ain't no God Damn America bullshit around either, it seems.

She did some time in Stanford, but I don't know if that makes her Californian enough to do both jobs.

Another problem with Mitt: Imagine the asshole Webb would tear him in a VP debate! IF not Webb, Hillary could do the roadside proctological intervention more than adequately as well.

Nah, Mitt's got secretary of the Treasury or something like that written all over him. High office needs someone that can speak clearly and not look like Barbie's boyfriend Ken.

OK, I'll go out on a limb here and say Condi for now.

Nah, Condi is too much tied up with W -- Mac can't afford to run as Bush redux. He needs someone fresh -- if there is any hint from the primaries, that's it. Also, as I said, someone who can raise money, and hads business/executive experience, hopefully. Condi is just an apparatchik, she never ran for anything. This would also undermine Mac's argument about experience -- last thing he needs is someone who undermines his case (like Qualyle did back in 1988 with papa Bush).

As for Cali dreaming -- I like that, but it's probably pie in the sky. And there has not been a strong Republican to come out of California since Reagan... (Arnie is just a puppet of the Kennedy clan, a wolf in sheep's clothes.) Nah, from a purely geographic point of view, Mac needs a Midwesterner. They are more solid than the flaky LaLa-landers.

I don't think he'll have trouble in the midwest, do you?

How about Ohio? The polls say it's a toss-up, but the markets give Obama 61% odds to win. Pretty much the same as the overall odds. If Mitt can help McCain carry some of the rustbelt states that are hurting economically (and don't really trust Mac to know what to do about it), it could make the difference.
