While there are numerous conservatives from whom McCain could choose — Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and South Dakota Sen. John Thune come to mind — none can match Romney’s name recognition or support base.
Romney’s relative youth is also a huge plus. With McCain set to turn 72 before Election Day, and in less-than-perfect health, voters will place an added premium on his running mate’s perceived readiness to take over. McCain has acknowledged further that he might seek only one term, making his would-be veep the heir apparent for 2012. For all Romney’s flaws, nobody questions his intelligence or competence.

I couldn't agree with you more. I believe McCain/Romney would make an awesome team. Romney is able to offset some of the rough edges that are displayed by McCain. He is also able to be an effective orator.
I hope McCain appreciates the fact that all conservatives would be more than willing to back this ticket. I am sure there are many conservatives that are willing to sit this one out if he doesn't come through with Romney as his VP.
How could Mitt possibly campaign WITH McCain after all the that was said in the debates and TV ads? How could he possibly spin McCain's past in a positive light and defend his record without sounding, well, like a flip-flopper? For this performance Mitt WOULD need acting lessons! If I were him, I would wait this one out in the "wilderness" (until 2012).
A group of Romney supporters have come together to organize a Politcal Action Committee to promote Mitt as the best GOP VP nominee. If you would like more information about our PAC just click on the link below. We can use all of the good help we can get!

I don't think McCain is wise enough to choose Mitt as his running mate. I'd love to see it, but McCain is too hot headed and impetuous to follow through on a savvy move like this. My campaigning and dollars will just have to sit on the sidelines for this contest.
