If It’s Romney. . .


If McCain is picking Romney as his VP, then I think the McCain attack ad using Biden’s comments against Obama is a mistake.  Because the Obama campaign can, in response, use this little gem:

And then there was this May 2007 entry from the NYT Caucus blog:

It does not look much like there’s a McCain-Romney ticket is in the offing. Consider Senator John McCain’s latest riposte to Mitt Romney, who has been attacking him lately for his support of the Senate’s new accord on immigration.

“In the case of Governor Romney, you know, maybe I should wait a couple of weeks and see if it changes, because it’s changed in less than a year from his position before,’’ Mr. McCain said on a conference call for bloggers. “And maybe his solution will be to get out his small-varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his lawn.’’

[You can listen to audio of the exchange here]

That’s just the start based on 2 min on Google.  There are return shots from Romney too.

As the old saying goes, those in glass houses. . . .

Off to our wedding.  More later.

    Despite the Dems and the allied main stream media’s desperation to see Romney as McCain’s Veep, Mitt is clearly out, with (1) Obama doubling down on the class warfare theme (McCain’s 7 houses) and (2) McCain doubling down with ads showing the hypocrisy of Biden attacking Obama in the primaries — Romney did way more than that contra McCain.

    This leaves only Govs Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty. Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..

    And if there’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com

    Team McCain, well done!!!
