Romney plays surrogate
Mitt Romney made the rounds of the morning cable news shows today, declining again to address vice presidential speculation but aggressively pumping up the man who would pick him -- John McCain.
Romney, one of McCain's most enthusiastic and aggressive surrogates in recent weeks since withdrawing from the Republican presidential race and endorsing his former rival, had a couple new zingers aimed at Democrat Barack Obama.
On MSNBC, Romney called Obama "both ways Barack" for softening his opposition to more offshore oil drilling. And he said Obama is "like an Internet date" -- appealing on the surface, but someone who will lose support once Americans get to know him better because he does not have the experience or judgment to be president.
McCain has repeatedly praised Romney, who is believed to be on the Arizona's short list of potential running mates.



Dear American Citizens and the Press
As a concerned citizen, I consider it is my duty to bring following message to you all.
"We the citizens of the United States of America have the ultimate responsibility to elect the " Right Candidate" to lead our nation, out of our huge present and future internal and external challenges as well as opportunities. This is to prevent depression and isolation in-spite of being the only superpower in the world morally, democratically, economically, and militarily.
We need to consider the "critical qualities and characteristics" of our presumptive presidential nominees at the time we vote.
In my personal and professional opinion the critical considerations are as under:
1. Calm, cool, and collected " temper " [ Presidential Temperament ].
2. Sound and sustained "Judgment and Caliber".
3. "Thought-fullness and togetherness" of purpose and positions.
4. Minimum "ex-poser and exploitation" around "Washington and Washington insiders".
5. Renewed " Vigor and Vision " for our Greatgrand Nation.
6. Foreign policy based on " American Values, Virtuous, Vastness".
Stay informed, stay involved, and stay engaged. Do not allow some partisan media, pundits, pollsters, and perpetual political opinion makers effect your vote in the wrong direction.
Don't be effected and duped by "Psychological Terrorism" that is directed at common American people without their full consent and awareness.
Long live U.S.A and its diverse but democratic people.

PS: He has forgotten Mccain's temper.
Here's a thought for the McCain advisors:
In 2002, Mitt Romney led the Winter Olympics out of scandal and debt to success and surplus revenue. And, I understand that he plans to attend the Summer Olympics in China. What better time for McCain to announce Romney as his Vice Presidential choice. Media will push for interviews that, if granted, Romney will probably acknowledge the nod and, with grace, turn the focus back to the importance of the Games that he knows all too well.
It would be a correlating announcement with worldwide interest and a very appropriate answer to Obama's Public Relations tour.
Some friendly advice to all readers of this blog or any other political blog:
COL. A.M. Khajawall (Ret) is a fraud. There is no one by that name listed in the USAR or any other branch of the US military. I checked.
He is a professional blogger (do a Google search) and does not deserve anyone's reply of "with all due respect" for his alleged military title.
He needs professional psychiatric help for making these bogus claims about his military service - he believes that lends credibility to his postings.
This fraud deserves to be arrested for impersonating a US military officer.
The only way I will vote for either presidential candidates is if Mitt Romney is the VP for McCain. I will then vote for McCain. Obama is a disaster for certain -- this man “is the man behind the curtain” and the more I learn about him, the scarier he becomes as a potential president. Most people know nothing about this sweet talker, but they are ready to vote for him because he says whatever they want to hear. I look at whom the mainstream media and Hollywood are supporting and know that their choice must be corrupt and immoral, so I then start examining the opposite candidate and normally find him/her to be the much superior candidate. Look at how messed up the lives of most of the people in Hollywood are then ask yourself, do I want these people telling me how to vote? The aswer is yes only if one admires the moral values of Hollywood.
I love Romney. He's one of the very few out there with enough of a spine to tell the media about the issues for what they really are. Romney is difficult to swallow from so many angles; you can't bribe him, he already has money and is as clean as a whistle as far as his life and family goes, you can't discredit him, he's educated and speaks his mind regardless of what others think, you can't play him down because he's a proven success in the free market economy, management, and government. I'm beginning to more fully understand why evangelical leaders hate him (he won't be bought, bullied, or forced into their political interests), media hates him because he highlights the truth for what it really is, and Democrats hate him because he a legitmate, charismatic threat to their political agenda. These Romney hate groups then try to spin Romney as an opportunist and panderer! Ha! I'm 1000% behind Romney as VP. We need more men like Romney in Washington.
Question. Why is it that when McCain reverses his stance on offshore drilling it's applauded? When Obama softens his stance it's called flip-flopping. Do you people listen to yourselves?
Does anyone remember what Romney did for Massachusetts????He was out of state most of his time a governor. Getting ready to run for POTUS! He never did anything to help Massachusetts! He is a big fraud! Plastic to look at, but nothing underneath that "perfect shell"
Romney should be the Republican candidate but now at least he should be the VP. I saw him this morning on the talk news shows and he expresses his knowledge of the economy so clearly and with such clarity that it is obvious that he knows what he is talking about and it all makes so much sense to the "average joe." Romney would have Obama pausing and fumbling all over himself if the two of those could just have a debate. Romney would be a great asset to McCain so lets hope McCain is not to stubborn to pick the obvious choice.
Naming Mitt Romney VP choice would assure the election of Barack Obama because he, Romney, is the poster boy for the economic policies that have gotten this nation into the dire situation it is in and which the people are getting ready to change. The American people do not vote for big businessmen, in general, and have never elected one President. Romney would be like an anchor pulling McCain to the bottom of the ocean.
Hi;
I'm a Canadian, and have followed the Primaries with great interest.
My husband and I are 'snow birds' and we are your visitors for four months of the year in your great stake, California.
I love American Politics, but I really think Mitt Romney should have been the GOP
candidate. He is very knowledgeable about the economy and doesn't beat around the BUSH.
Canadian and the US need strong leadership concerning the oil crisis and to help us through the recession.
He is trustworthy, brilliant, straight forward which is quite unusual for a politician.
McCain would be wise to have him on his ticket as 'VP' come November.
Hmmm...MB, okay you don't like Mitt Romney and you obviously don't know much about what is going on in Massachusetts. Below is an excerpt from a recent article about the health plan Mitt Romney implemented in Massachusetts:
"Romney has right Rx for McCain - Seattle Times
In the year since Romney helped launch the Massachusetts health plan, the following has happened: The number of uninsured has fallen by 340,000 people, half the total; out-of-pocket costs have dropped significantly; and the benefits are better. With 93 percent of Massachusetts residents now insured, the plan approaches universal nirvana."
Mitt Romney is intelligent and innovative, and he consistently and effectively brings about solutions to complex issues and problems. We would greatly benefit with him as Senator McCain's running mate.

Run Mitt Run! Romney is qualified in every way to be VP. He will bring integrity to Washington and will represent all Americans in his official duties. I wish he were the nominee. When McCain puts Romney on the ticket as VP he will launch in to a 4-6 point lead against Obama and it will be over. Without Romney, McCain will flounder and loose to Obama by 2-3 percentage points.
I don't think McCain will pick Romney. I would love him to do that but I do not think he will. he is only waiting for Obama to screw up. Then why take a chance on Romney or Huckabee. If he was going to choose either one of these he would have done it by now.
I'd be thrilled is McCain were to pick Romney. I think he is outstanding and would bring so much good sense to the presidency. I am crossing my fingers
Romney embodies everything that we could want in a President; articulate, intelligent, calm, and proven. Mitt is by far the most qualified person to be President. The only way I will vote is if McCain gives Romney the VP nod, otherwise, I'd rather do without the rest.
McCain reconsidered drilling, when the price of oil became a problem for us, & for U.S. NOT to be under the thumb of oil nations.
When Obama is NOW - *slightly* adjusting his TALK of drilling for oil, (to "please everybody"?) at the SAME time he is saying he would LIKE the price of oil to go up! He thinks (I believe irresponsibly!) that we can wean our selves off oil by wishing it so-- while he seems to have NO comprehension of how our national food growers NEED gasoline to plant & harvest &how far we are from the technology to wean off, plus his facts are flawed on how soon we could get oil. Plus IF there were oil on the land already ok for drilling, don't you think they would?? Go MITT!

McCain has been hurting for a political ad that has made a positive mark on the American People. The Obama gas crisis, the Britney/Paris star lights... nothing has quite captured the "American President" persona that he needs to make a good run in this coming election. Here is your opportunity to purchase the "True American John McCain for President" advertisement. Created by a "True American Citizen, Quin Robert Simanek". One young, one old; both Americans looking to make a difference in our county.
Up for auction on ebay for $20,000,000.00 or best offer!
There is only one reason John McCain would not pick Mitt Romney for his Vice President: He is afraid that Romney would out shine him. Our country is in the greatest danger of our history. This is no time to put one man's ego ahead of our country's security.
Romney is absolutely the best candidate for VP...period!
We are in critical need of competent and capable patriots who will stand up for the values of what America's founding fathers (and mothers) desired for everyone who loves freedom.
Our country is in dire financial straights. Entitlements are bankrupting U.S. Voters have the chance to elect a financial genius in Mitt Romney, and if his sage advice is taken save itself from bankruptcy and ruin. Senator John McCain readily admitted he's weak in the area of financial acumen and that a man like Romney would strengthen his bid for the presidency. Romney is also savvy where radical Islamists are concerned and securing U.S. borders is also a priority on his agenda. One way or the other I only hope American voters are wise enough to also elect a conservative congress and senate this November!
Neither John McCain nor Barack Bin Laden are qualified to lick the sweat off of Mitt Romney's scrotum never mind be presiden tof the United States.
Obama is a sociliast and McCain is senile.
I was once tempted to vote for McCain if he picked Romney but seeing as the VP is just a meaningless symbolic position McCain can kiss my right buttock while Barry kisses the left.
I'm voting for Chuck Baldwin.
Make sure that you inflate your tires to the proper pressure and all will be fine.
Romney should be McCain's only choice. Don't pander to the Evengelical nincompoop bigots.
Romney is the victory song we will sing in November if Mccain is smart enough to pick him as a running mate for the United States Vice President.There is too much about nothing in Obama the dems are going crazy trying to figure what exactly their nominee is running for.If thats not worst what else.
Mitt Romney should be is right arm. I am talking to a lot of people both republican and democrat…and even the very young who are for Obama All switch their vote from Obama to McCain soon as you mention, “McCain might put Romney as his VP.” Soon as everyone hears that, the reply is the same. It is, “Well if McCain picks Romney then I will vote for McCain-Romney 08! It seems to persuade the vote tremendously. I see McCain gaining ground on Obama. McCain has the Foreign and Veteran Affairs knowledge and Romney is Excellent with the Economy. It is a Sure Win!
Romney's understanding of the Bible is profound. I heard him discuss the different versions of the English Bible once and differences between them (he liked the 1611 KJV best). Romney even writes in Hebrew -- he just doesn't brag about his religion like UpChuckabee does. What makes evangelicals furious is not that Mormons don't believe or understand the Bible -- it's that they do both.
I have to agree that Romney would be the best Vice president choice for McCain......He has the energy and charisma to inspire the now uninspired!
Go Mitt!
