Romney President in 2012 - ' For a Better American' Its really quite simple!

JIMSBRAINPOWER of TX 4:58PM August 23, 2008

He's well suited for McCain's VP and would bring

hope and security to the Republican ticket.

Romney should be McCain choice as his Vice president.Iam From Michigan and many not just a few will go with the McCain-Romney ticket that I have spoken with in the western Michigan area.HIS FATHER gEORGE rOMNEY A REPUBLICAN was a a friend both to business and labor when he served as governor in the 60's.The people here both Democrat and republicans have not forgot him and thats why Mitt will win Michigan believing that he shares the same ideals and beliefs as his father.

If McCain does not take Romney I firmly believe the Republicans will lose this State. Tell that to McCain please.

If McCain doesn't have it together enough to select Romney, he simply doesn't have it together enough, period. Just once it would be nice to have someone with the right skill set in DC in a time of crisis.

I think Mitt Romney is the best choice!

Mitt Romney is the man.Here are my reasons. Highly intellectual,he

has good common sense,perfect age bracket,good morals,nice family,

doesn't have any financial motives behind him,highly capable of taking over the presidency if any unseen circumstance were to make

John McCain have to forgo the presidency,capable of helping McCain

turn this economy around,People already know who he is from watching the debates,he is a calm person,but commanding when he needs to be.He has to be all this,in case something were to happen to John McCain while he is president.His religion should have no bearing on his vice president role, he is not running for a religious position. He has changed his position on a few issues,but all to the good of the party and the conservative ideals.We have all at one time or another changed our mind on issues in our own lives,does that make us a flip flopper? Change of heart yes,flip flopper no. I believe Mitt is the man. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.

Mitt would bring honesty back to the White House. Other nations would learn to trust his word. Forget that stuff about "flip-flopping"! Mitt knows his duty is to serve. He has the economic acumen necessary to help McCain put this Nation back on its feet. However I fear for him, because prejudices can run deeply, and nothing is more scary than those individuals who are blinded by it. Further remember that Sen. McCain, because of his advanced age, may not be able to serve out his first term. We need an individual with impeccible credentials--who is that? Duh!!

you are the blind one and so is every one else who is being swept away by this mitt flip phoney! he is worst than obama and hillary put together and if mccain has a brain, he will not pick this bag of conservative shame!!!! Mitt Flipps Record is why people will not vote for him and nothing else! if he is on the ticket that will be politcal GOP suicide...everyone knows that romney is a liberal I can see it now all of those ads by the dems that dig up his political history which they know evangelicals are not going to vote for no matter what!!! Willard need to crawl back down the liberal whole he came out of...

Either is fine. The sooner McCain picks one, the more open the opportunity for Barack to win by reminding us why we don't like THE POLICIES of any of these guys.

Daniel David of NM 10:21AM July 29, 2008

Who is the other guy? I've never heard of him until this discussion about a VP pick. Romney, on the other hand - who hasn't heard of him?

His track record of accomplishments is stellar. His personal life is the same, no buried skeletons. The only venue the Democrats will have is to use his (supposed) position changes against the McCain - Romney platform. Religion can be handled easily; "There shall be no religion test for president," (US Constitution) would equally apply to the Vice President.

The two are a excellent team. The other picks - Cabinet - need to be made with as much care as this one.
