I must be dreaming this is too good to be true!
Can Democrats really be so fortunate, and McCain strategists so stupid ,as to name Mitt Romney the VP choice? OMG...we can only hope. Let me enumerate the ways this will work to Obama's benefit.
Mitt the Empty Suit – No one is stiffer, more artificial, or more able to personify the Country Club Republican image that should be a major theme for the Democrats in this election. If McCain's "Housegate" demonstrates nothing else, it shows how vulnerable the Republicans are to having their wealthy backgrounds and association with the interests of the wealthy made evident to the public. For years these guys have pretended to be men of the people and gotten away with it. Nobody is a harder sell as a "man of the people" than Mitt Romney.
Mitt the "be whatever I need to be candidate" - Mitt's presidential run was a howler of flip-flops, prevarications and outright lies. This guy is like a dart board with all bulls eyes, take you pick: health care, military service, NRA; you name it he's pandered to it and lied about it, usually in front of a camera. U-tube will destroy this guy
Mitt the Mormon – While his Mormon background will no doubt raise a lot of money in Utah for the campaign it will do nothing with McCain's sore spot with evangelicals. Most evangelicals think of Mormons as apostates and would be less likely to go to the polls with Mitt on the ticket.
Hold your breath, I can't think of a better choice for the Democrats then Mitt Romney.
