I think that is his best play. Petraeus is a very interesting twist, though.

Absolutely his best play. He's either a smart guy, or he's got smart advisers. Either way, he may pull this off yet. (Pardon me while I go switch all our investments back to defense contractors.)

Okay you two, have you received the text from Obama yet? Keep us posted and let us know as soon as it comes in.

I'm so nervous.

He's going to pick the robot?

So what would the Republicans have to give Huckabee to give Romney a big hug in Minneapolis?

If McCain gets elected, Romney could very well be the 1st LDS president, which will be somewhat of a campaign issue, dampen EV turnout.

Who here believes McCain is healthy enough to serve out two terms?

(I think Romney is very bright & would make a good Prez, but politics is blood sport)

Could work out to be a great Plan B for Mitt (maybe it was his Plan A?).

Very little I bet. The guy is all about getting paid for appearances.

That said, Huck has already said on Fox that he would support a McCain/Romney ticket.

FWIW, Biden is one feisty guy if he gets the nod for Obama. I would pay big money to put him and Chaney in a cage match (you know how hott! YOhio would think that fight was). If Mitt is the Repub nod for VP, I think we will have a national crisis on our hands as about 3 million southern baptists/evangelical heads would have spontaneously exploded.

Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
