Rumor turns talk to McCain

Excellent article - except for one thing - most evangelicals won't vote for Romney, but it has nothing to do with his mormonism. It's because during a relatively short period of time, he flip-flopped on several issues critical to us. For example: Abortion, a constitutional amendment defining marriage, and gun-rights just to name a FEW! And it's not just evangelicals who don't like him either. His health-care program in Massachusetts alienated many fiscal conservatives too. McCain definitely won't pick Romney as VP. Don't believe me? Read the following then: “…McCain campaign insiders say that while it's true they have polled Romney on the bottom of the ticket, the data confirms that such a move would be a political disaster for the party. ‘Mitt tanks the ticket,’ says a McCain insider. ‘We lose fiscal conservatives. We lose social conservatives. We lose Catholics. We lose evangelicals. All the groups were spending time and money on bringing into the camp would be lost. He just doesn't help us enough to do something like this, as much as Mitt might think we should. He doesn't even win us Massachusetts.’” http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=13563

McCain should pick Mike Huckabee as his VP. Mike Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas for over 10 years. Survey USA took a series of polls to determine the VP candidate (out of Huckabee, Lieberman, Pawlenty, and Romney) who would help John McCain the most. They took polls in PA, NM, VA, CA, OH, IA, KS, WI, NE, OR, NY, MA, MN, AL, KY, and MO. Of these, PA, NM, VA, OH, IA, OR, MN, and MO are generally considered to be possible battleground states in November. In almost every case, Governor Mike Huckabee did best. He even had a slight lead in Massachusetts where Romney was once Governor! Also, there have been five bellwether states - OH, MO, LA, KY, and AR - that have correctly predicted the winner of the General Election for each of the past eight elections (dating back to 1976). Of those, in the GOP Primaries, Huckabee won the popular vote in two of them (AR and LA), coming in second to McCain in the other three. McCain won the popular vote in three of them (OH, MO and KY), coming in second to Huckabee in the other two. The margin between the two in the state of MO was extremely narrow. And in the state of KY, Huckabee even managed to come in second to John McCain three and a half months after he suspended his campaign and endorsed McCain. Governor Huckabee would be a great Vice President. Even Mitt Romney thinks so! At a town hall meeting back in December (before Iowa) he was asked what he thought of Huckabee as VP. Romney replied: "Sure, he’s a wonderful person... He’d make a great vice president."
