Romney is endorsing McCain

[NewJersey]

Ah, flip flopper Romney endorsing someone? That's not something to be proud of. Heck, given his record, he could flip flop tomorrow and endorse Huckabee.

Personal attacks are not going to be tolerated.

You're free to discuss your opinions and observations about the politicians and platforms, but not to insult other posters.

This post deserves to be bronzed, for it will be the only time in history that the words "Huckabee" and "choice" will be used in the same sentence....

I just love that. Too funny.

There have been plenty of Presidents and Vice-Presidents throughout history who haven't been able to stand each other. Kennedy/Johnson come to mind. I don't think Pres/VP have to be friendly eith each other to be good at their job. What do you guys think?

It will be interesting to see who Al gives the to.

At least the Oval office sink is clean.

And there are no stains on the carpet below the desk in the Oval Office.......

I didn't think a McCain-Romney ticket was possible before, but now I'm not so sure. I don't see what Romney's motivation for endorsing McCain is other than a VP nomination, unless he's angling for a cabinet or other position. You're right, I don't think they like each other much, but McCain could suck it up because he won, and Romney is too ambitious to turn it down. The flip-flopping of Romney will be less of an issue in the general election, particularly for a VP nominee, and honestly, their political views aren't that diffferent that they couldn't be melded into one ticket (not to mention, Romney is a chameleon anyway). I'm not a big fan of Romney, but I could support him as VP. And for some strange reason, the right wing nut jobs like him. WAY better having Romeny than Huckabee to appease the right.

Honestly, I may not agree with Romney politically, but I think he's a smart man and would probably reject the VP position on it's face for the same reason that Condi would. My thinking is, this election is really the Dems to lose and McCain's going to have a tough time of it regardless of who goes up against. Why would Romney, who is young and has a very good potential of another couple Presidential runs, want to tie himself to such an unpopular candidate within the base of his own party? You don't establish a personal net worth of $250 million by betting on slim odds. I'm thinking, if McCain wants a conservative, he's got to go for one (best case scenario being a governor) with a limited chance of getting to the WH on his/her own, but still brings conservative credibility to the ticket.

As far as Romney endorsing McCain and what it means, well, he's just trying to bring unity to the party, something he also need to do to make another run come 2012.

I was surprised to learn there was some acrimony there. I don't, however, think it was there in the beginning. I believe they honestly liked each other. I'm sure it was the Lewinsky affair that soured the relationship.

Al is well respected and liked very much by most Democrats. His endorsement would be quite the opposite of what you describe.

I think he meant to the person who he doesn't endorse.

I'm sure that on the climate change front, even John McCain would probably appreciate Gore's endorsement. From what I've read, global warming is something that McCain is very passionate about.

Not for the next 9 months he isn't.

Are you suggesting that he's angling just enough to the right to get the vote, then he'll be back to tree hugging, Sam Alito hating, campaign finance reforming "Maverick" McCain that the media knows and loves? Perish the thought!!!

Sorry to hear that!

Did I say all that? My, what a marvellous economy I have with the English language.
