Just checked the Intrade numbers on the veepstakes. For Barack Obama, it's Joe Biden 40 percent and Tim Kaine 21 percent. Biden has retraced some of the upward momentum from yesterday (-10 percent), while Kaine has gained ground (+9 percent.). For John McCain, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty are tied at 30 percent, with Tom Ridge hanging around at 20 percent. Joe Lieberman has the momentum today, though. He is +7 to 12 percent.

Mitt has great business chops and a national profile, but still retains the problematic traits that lost him the nom in the first place: He's Mormon and has only been a recent convert to conservatism these last few years. True GOP faithful smell a fake here. We can't forget that in the somewhat likely event that Mac is unable to serve, Mitt is President, and Americans resoundingly rejected that idea already. Jindal is much too young, too regional; a rising star in the party to be sure, but it's too soon. He should look to Louisiana, and he may be a contender in 12 years, when Mac isn't running against a much younger, browner opponent. Ridge: pro-abortion; can't afford to upset more conservatives than he already has. I'm thinkin' Crist. Obama does the GOP a HUGE favor if he picks Boring Joe Biden. Two windbags of that magnitude on the same ticket will sink it for sure.

Mitt Romney's experience at Bain Capital was to invest in Companies who were going down hill fast and bring in sound management practices in order to turn the companies around and make them efficient and profitable again. This is also what he did with the 2002 Winter Olympics!
That IS the type of experience we need in the White House these next four years! All others mentioned are great men but none of them have the experience that Mitt has!
