That's great news. He'll win back a lot of conservatives that way. Plus it will set up Romney as a shoe-in in '12.

He will? Why?Originally Posted by glockmail
Vice Presidents never do diddly, nor do they ever effect policy in any meaningful way. Unless the Prez is unusually amenable to suggestion, which W wasn't and McCain certainly isn't.
People who change their votes for a candidate based on his VP selection are kidding themselves.
BTW, you aren't actually listening to all the liberal screaming about how Cheney is the hidden power behind W's throne, are you? I thought better of you than that, glock.

in this day and age VP's will be required to do more than "diddly"

Romney isn't going to help, he was only conservative compared to McCain. That will cost McCain votes more than it will help. There are still allot of people who won't vote for a Mormon.
The only one that would really going to help is Bobby Jindal.

Cheny? No we all know the real power behind the Bush Presidency is Karl Rove.
Seriously, there's no question that Cheny is a trusted advisor, and has more influence on the presidency than say, Dan Quail or Al Gore. Since McCain isn't big on economic issues while Romney is, I think its safe to assume that he'd have a similar relationship in a McCain administration, at least with respect to certain issues.
Also I don't see McCain running in 2012, so this would set up Romney for then- against Hillary.

Jindal needs to stay in La and clean it up first. We'll need him in 2016 or 2020.
Senior Member
At the rate Jindal is going in LA it will be cleaned up by January.
I really don't think Romney is the answer. I still hear people referring to Mormonism as a cult and they will never vote for Romney.
Jindal is probably the best communicator I have heard since Reagan. He's a bona fide Conservative, he offsets the age thing with McCain and he offsets to some degree the black thing with NObama. I think he can bring back the conservative vote in a way that Romney cant.
It also sets him up for 2012. I don't think we can afford to wait until 2016 or 2020 for him to run.

Romney will bring the economic experience that McCain is missing. He was also my first choice for republican nominee.

He also puts Michigan majorly into play.
Also, it would actually make me alittle enthusiastic for our race.

Not so junior as all that
I doubt it will be Romney. With all the problems McCain already has, he's going to take on a MORMON who has already been decisively rejected in the primaries??
I think that would be foolish.

By 2020, surely we will have wised up and elected a Libertarian as our president.
