The United States economy is having a seriously tough time these days. Many banks are failing, the housing market is in the doldrums, and disastrous storms continue to wreak havoc on our nation.
So nowadays, I have to wonder if McCain would have been better off if he chose Mitt Romney as his Vice President. What do you think?
While Clinton and Obama continue to duke it out, I’m really curious who McCain will choose as his running mate. Given the state of the economy lately, I’m feeling like Romney is a more likely possibility.
This Democratic National Convention is going to be interesting, to say the least. Many people are already referring to the 1968 DNC in Chicago, where riots broke out between war protesters and police - which I’m not sure is a relevant comparison.
It is going to be interesting in my humble opinion because it might just pit the people versus the political establishment. By saying that, I mean that it will be very interesting if Obama wins the popular vote among democrats to get on their ticket, but the “super” delegates put Hillary on it.
The “dream ticket” that the Clintons mentioned with Obama as VP came as a surprise to me, as I’m sure it did Barack, and I can only perceive it as a dream ticket for the republicans - maybe Hillary is on the GOP take to mess with the dems’ campaign? Wouldn’t that be interesting! I mean with a republican candidate as democrat-friendly as McCain - would it even be necessary?
Speaking of the GOP and McCain, I haven’t heard anything about McCain’s campaign financing issues which were mentioned recently. Maybe it will surface again once he’s chosen a running mate. I don’t think we’ll hear much directly from his campaign until he’s officially announced as the republican candidate anyway. Frankly I’m hoping that he picks Ron Paul, but I’m doubtful. If people are concerned about his age, he’ll probably pick someone younger. I’ve heard mention that he’ll pick Romney, but I seriously doubt it.
Mitt Romney has withdrawn from the 2008 presidential race. Personally I’m surprised, but I’m sure he understands the competitive field better than I do, and probably made the right choice.
After Super Tuesday, there are still several states up for grabs between Obama and Clinton, so the news will mostly focus on them, I imagine.
I’m scanning the news pages trying to find the Florida voting results, but all I can find are reports that the race is close between McCain and Romney. Who is the winner?
In other news, Ted Kennedy is endorsing Barack Obama.
Maybe this will be a turnaround time for Mitt Romney. Although I probably won’t vote for Romney myself, I do respect the guy for his accomplishments. As I’ve said before, I don’t think he’s done a very good job campaigning or debating, but nevertheless I’ve been surprised at how he’s fared in the polls.
With Michigan a win, could this be the time when Romney will shine? I bet he’s not used to losing! However, Michigan is familiar territory for Mitt, so it might not represent overall voter sentiment.
In other news, Clinton and Obama have made peace. Whoopdy doo.
The results are still coming in, but so far it appears that Senators McCain and Clinton, with Senator Obama and former Governor Romney following closely.
I’m surprised that Ron Paul didn’t fare better in New Hampshire. The stories about the voters in New Hampshire always describe them as independent thinkers, which I interpreted to mean that they would respond well to a unique candidate like Dr. Paul.
Here’s a picture of the Mormon Church LDS Temple in Belmont, Massachusetts, which I believe Romney played a role in building. As I understand it, Belmont has a restriction on how high a building can be, while Mormon churches LDS Temples tend to be very tall.
