However, I do think Romney would be a great choice. I like that he's an Ivy guy, his support for gay marriage, that he seems sensible on social issues in general including family planning (how else could he have been elected governor of Mass.?), and of course his putatitive foreign policy and judicial appointees (really the only two factors that make practical difference in who we choose as president).

I think it would be wonderful for Mormons. Another shove toward the mainstream, reason, and assimilation. This isn't like Turkey electing a Muslim fundamentalist to head of state. On the contrary.

On the other hand if he ever became president I'm sure 80% of Cougarboard would hate him by two years into the term a la Harry Reid.

My biggest concern is that it may not be a smart choice for McCain tactically. I think it could really rip the party, and even maybe give rise to a third candidate that would split the Republicans.

wow, no hyperbole there. Romney pick as VP destroys both LDS church and GOP.
