ROMNEY FOR VP


From Bob Novak:

ROMNEY FOR VP

Mitt Romney has pleased John McCain with his help since losing the Republican presidential nomination, but it remains unlikely the former Massachusetts governor will be selected for vice president.

Former Gov. Jeb Bush is reported by Florida Republican insiders as favoring a McCain-Romney ticket, added to backing from former White House political chief Karl Rove and some senior McCain campaign staffers. Nevertheless, the McCain consensus is that defects that made Romney a problematic presidential candidate also would hurt him as a running mate.

A footnote: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty gets higher marks from the McCain inner circle than from conservative Republican governors and is in the running for vice president.
