Just when you thought that was the last of Mitt Romney here he is again in the spotlight. It seems he is joining McCain to do some fund raisers, and I'm wondering... are we looking at a possible Vice President?

Romney Mitt
A couple of weeks ago in an interview with FOX News, Romney was asked whether or not he would go VP for McCain. He said he would be "honored."
Now this:
| QUOTE |
| But no one would have guessed Thursday that the men were anything but pals as they strode from a black SUV, framed by Salt Lake City's snowy mountains, to face the cameras during a fundraising swing through the West. The animosity had vanished -- spurring speculation that they might be able to stomach being running mates after all. McCain, with Romney standing beside him, said the two would be spending lots of time together on the campaign trail. "I value his advice and his counsel," McCain said, speaking to reporters in the Salt Lake City airport hangar after he and Romney joined up for the first of two fundraisers. "He has earned an important place in the Republican Party. . . . We are united -- now our job is to energize our party -- and I believe that Gov. Romney can play a very important role in that." ....McCain's advisors have cautioned that joint appearances with prominent vice presidential contenders should not be interpreted as auditions. For his part, the candidate would not comment on whether he was considering Romney or Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. -- but he lavished praise on both. Gesturing to Romney, McCain noted his former rival's leadership at Bain Capital, which he called "one of most successful enterprises in America." "He came to a very liberal state [Massachusetts] and campaigned as a conservative and governed as a conservative," McCain said. "He ran a very effective campaign for president of the United States." McCain also said Huntsman was "enormously qualified." "I know of no two people I'd rather spend time with, not only because of their friendship, but because I learn a great deal from both of them," McCain said. When asked later on the campaign plane about the possibility of being on the GOP ticket, Romney said: "I can think of probably 20 names of people who I think could be excellent vice presidential nominees from our party, and that's a process [McCain] will carry out." ...In discussing the bitter attacks between Democratic candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, Romney said: "I personally feel that in the final analysis, all of the to and fro of a campaign is brushed aside in the mind of the voters as they think about what is going to be best for their future." For now, he said, he was glad to return to the campaign trail. "It's nice not to feel any pressure at all -- I don't have to worry about goofing up," Romney said. "I can just stand behind our nominee and do my very best to support his campaign." |

Romney sold out. He gave up running for president for the opportunity to be chosen as Vice president. He's just another "good ol' boy" in the political arena, in my opinion.

Easy path to the Presidency, good thinking, however the US does take very good care of their Presidents and Vice Presidents, so if that's Mitt's thinking he may be disappointed.

I don't know, McCain seems to be in robust health - but he also seems like a Type A personality. Those tend to have heart attacks. But really, who is to say?
Tagging along with McCain, Romney will keep his name in the public eye, and in politics in general. But I'm sure he made a deal, just because he quit the race as quickly as he did. He can still make it to the White House, he'll just be #2.

I really think Romney is only interested in becoming Vice-president, I don't think he is expecting nothing else. Having said, I still have my doubts that Mc Cain may choose him, he has other candidates as well.

If this theory is correct and McCain announces Mitt Romney as his choice for Vice President of the United States of America, then can we see a loss of votes for the Republicans? Not necessarily a gain for Democrats, but some Republicans just won't vote.
