SeattleUte has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default If McCain picks Romney...

This will be the coup de grace to Romney's political career. I'm starting to really doubt whether McCain will win, I think Romney would harm McCain's campaign, possibly seal his doom, and the experience would probably only amplify the traits that caused everyone to dislike Romney during the nominating process. I don't think VP's on losing tickets usually have anywhere to go.

Being on a losing ticket doesn't bode well for a run in 4 years from now. I am not convinced that McCain will definitely lose, though.

What political prospects does Romney have if McCain DOESN'T pick him? If he wants to stay in the game, this is his last bet.

Besides, John Edwards had a nice little run earlier in the primaries. I don't think anybody avoided voting for him because he was on Kerry's failed ticket, were they?

Spencer Zwick and some of his crew already left Mass. and started a new VC firm in SLC. They are currently in the initial phases of fundraising. One of the guys on his team is a very close friend of mine. And Darrin Zwick used to be in my EQ.

They are not gearing up for a VP run right now.

Are you referring to the traits that Romney has, like, being a Mormon?

Are those the traits you are referring to that will be amplified, as the ones that people didn't like about him the first time around?

You are such a cock smoker!!!
