Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links.

I’ve been telling you for weeks and weeks that there’s no way John McCain is going to choose Mitt Romney as his running mate, but some of you still don’t agree with me.

Well, consider THIS.

I still think it’s going to be Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (although I’m not as sure on that point as I once was).

    So when your link tells us this,

    “Mr. McCain’s floating of Mr. Ridge’s name — and the backlash that ensued — could actually make the selection of Mr. Romney more palatable. Mr. Romney’s fluency on economic matters and his family ties to Michigan, a crucial swing state, are considered assets in his favor.”,

    we’re supposed to use it to draw an opposite conclusion?

    I think Mill Romney is the democrats nightmare. He looks presidential and he is. He would make a undefeatable republican ticket.

    Bob: Don’t be obtuse. Obviously, the article deals with the pros and cons of McCain choosing Romney as a running mate. You can draw whatever conclusion you’d like. My conclusion is that choosing Romney would be a mistake for McCain, which is why I think he won’t. But if he does, I’ll be glad, as I’ve said here on several occasions.
