Would a McCain-Romney ticket be more appealing than the McCain-Palin ticket?

The reality is that neither McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden can credibly inspire economic confidence based on experience or action. We're voting for their advertised plans and their faceless advisers who will craft and implement.

I think this is where Romney would have been appealing. I don't think his private sector experience gives him a huge advantage in practically dealing with the current economic issue, but he would put a credible face on McCain's policy. Somebody who has made and lost big money in the private sector. Instead, we're choosing between one ticket with two lawyers who never really practiced and another with a soldier and a homemaker. Neither ticket seems to inspire much confidence.
