Mittens oh mittens.

I think John will pick Romney as VP and I was thinking this could be bad as we are trying to get Nevada and turnout among Mormons may hurt us. I also think that we may have a easier time in the south because of his religion.

1. Romney comes across as a phony to me. I dont think McCain will pick him.

[Danger Mouse]

2. It won't hurt us that badly...it'll hurt McCain with the Religious Reich...

which he absolutely NEEDS in his corner.

3. Not even McCain could be that stupid....

right? Plus, I thought he absolutely detested mittens :shrug:

****But I think it would be great for the Democrats if you're right:)

4. He won't pick him!

Side by side, he over towers McCain in stature...and looks and appearance of health. McCain looks old and small and horribly unpolished and lacking in poise next to Romney. However, I do think it would be a good thing for all of us if he did.

5. Well who does that leave then?

the Crypt Keeper???

[snowbear]

6. I still say he picks the dude Mark Foley has discreet rendezvous with...

[mcctatas]

8. I still think he will pick this douchebag.....

9. That's a disturbing photo n/t

13. mccain looked tall standing next to the Dalai Lama.

But next to Romney or Obama he looks like Mighty Mouse.

7. Supposedly, the Bushes are pushing hard for Romney

even though they know McCain hates him.

It will be interesting to see how independent a choice McCain will make.

I'm personally praying for Pawlenty.

10. it is hard to explain to people not from the community but evangelicals and

conservative Christians have an absolute deep and abiding distrust, dislike and complete anger at Mormonism.

My father who was "a better dead than red Goldwater Repubican" would rather vote for Castro than a mormon, and our family was once the 2nd most prominent family in Utah (First mayor of Salt Lake City and the second longest serving President/prophet of the LDS church).

11. flying monkeys

they might happen too.

12. I think it will be Romney also. Repugs don't think the same way we do. they fall in line,

Romney is the next in line. He is the most likely choice.



Besides it helps them in MI and NV, plus he has what they consider economic credentials. Also, bringing up religion again might help them too. It gives them a reason to use overtones that question our candidates religion.
