Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt: Speaking of possible VP's...

...Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt won't seek 2nd term. Indeed, one of his reasons for not seeking a 2nd term sounds very similar to us Romney followers.

Blunt, a Republican elected in 2004, explained in a television address that he had accomplished virtually everything he had set out to do.

I've heard that one before.

Also, Gov. Blunt was one of the early backers of Gov. Romney. From the press release of Gov. Blunt's endorsement back in April:

Endorsing Governor Romney, Governor Blunt said, "Mitt Romney's strong conservative principles are right for America. He is a strong leader and a proven problem solver - in private business, the Olympics, and as Governor. Governor Romney lives the American values that we cherish. I believe he has a great vision for the future of the United States."

Romney-Blunt in '08? Sounds good to me. Anyone from Missouri have an opinion?

Don't you just love the gossip.

	8 Comments: Sounds great to me.Don't want Huck or Thompson personally. By Anonymous, at January 22, 2008 at 8:04 PM I'm from MO, and voted for Blunt. However, my hubby and I are away with the military, and my mom says that he is not very popular there now with some of the programs he has cut. If that will make much of a difference in a general election, I don't know because he isn't well known, but it might not help in Missouri, a state that is becoming more liberal every day. By Roya, at January 22, 2008 at 8:43 PM I live in central MO. Blunt comes across as a light-weight: young and lacking in leadership, not ready for prime-time. It would be a big mistake, and this comes from one who voted for him. By Anonymous, at January 22, 2008 at 8:49 PM I got to meet Governor Blunt in Iowa when he was helping out with our caucus effort. I think he's a bit young yet, but you know if the Democrats go with Obama, a young VP might help us take more of the youth vote. By Jeff, at January 22, 2008 at 9:13 PM Blunt is just about the least popular man in Missouri right now. Romney is screwed if he rolls into Missouri with Matt Blunt on his ticket, he won't stand a chance. By Anonymous, at January 22, 2008 at 10:12 PM I live in St Louis and Blunt seems like a decent guy but I am convinced there are probably a hundred more qualified people to VP for Mitt. Blunt does not come across as a strong leader and his popularity has declined...which (along with a few minor scandals) is probably why he's not running for a second term. Just not VP material in my opinion By Anonymous, at January 22, 2008 at 10:26 PM How about General Petraeus for VP?!
