I cannot help but give advice, it's like I have some "Dear Abby" addiction. Even though I'm voting for Barack Obama, I hate to see John McCain ruin his chances this fall by picking a hideous VP. John McCain should not in any way pick Mitt Romney, who would go down as one of the worst political mistakes since President Clinton thought it wise to spare five minutes with the intern.
If you were like me and wonder why so many "Republicans" who said they hoped McCain lost but later came around and started pushing Romney on McCain. The answer is simple they still want McCain to lose and Romney is the sure fire way to do so. Romney, Romney...Romney how I loathe you. I think it's because I realize you are a smart, intellegent man not like some bum hick ala Huckabee. No, you know exactly what you're doing. Lying your way into the White House, which if McCain picked you your styles would at least be consistent.
Romney though doesn't play well. His conservative credentials get the blood going in the hard right and who didn't fall in love with him during his offer to deport illegal aliens to one of his mansions. Those lawns aren't going to mow themselves. But really, this election is about the working class white people. And they don't like wealthy people who lay them off. We learned this in Michigan with 06 candidate Dick Devos his lost by a huge margin despite a horrible incumbent, tons of campaign money and a better message.
McCain is already going to have money problems, that housing quote made him look old and pathetically rich. It could be the losing statement. Romney would just compound that. And that doesn't get to the real problem with Romney, his Morman faith. I like Mormans and have defending them as a true Christian faith at many of my churches. But what the liberal media (who I now just love...Keith Olberman why do I have you just one hour a day?) who hasn't gone to church since Clinton was elected in 92 to give their praise and thanks doesn't realize that most Christian espically conservative Christians do not only not like Mormanism they view it as a cult. And adding him to the ticket is a sure way to make sure they stay home.
McCain can pick Pawnlenty and do no harm but he needs a game changer if he is really going to have a fighting chance come November. He needs to pick either Lieberman or Fiorina. With Colin Powell going to endorse Obama within a month and probably Hagel to, many would say Lieberman but I think that also is a mistake. Again the Christian Right will sit home. No, he needs Fiorina and she'll do it for him. She won't gurantee victory but she gives him the best shot. And that Senator is my last bit of advice to you, now I have to work to defeat you.
