Dick Morris on Romney as VP

posted by Anonymous | 3:33 PM | permalink

Dick Morris argues against Romney for VP in this short piece. What Morris fails to recognize is the extent to which Romney energized many people. Romney's performance was not as lackluster as Morris suggests. Prior to Super Tuesday, Romney led in popular votes. Romney's problem came with fighting a multi-front assault from Huckabee in Iowa and John McCain in New Hampshire. It was difficult for Romney to beat both Huckabee and McCain, as it was for Huckabee to beat both Romney and McCain. Morris' criticisms are as true of Huckabee as they are for Romney. In fact, one could easily switch their names in the piece. Huckabee only won places where evangelicals had a strong showing. The rest of the party wasn't hungry for his fiscal liberalism and nanny state tendencies, even if he did tote a gun and hate gays.

Do I think there are reasons for McCain not to pick Romney as a VP? Sure. Morris' suggestion that a pick from the center of the political spectrum would help McCain is not out of the realm of possibility (although many people continue to believe that what is needed is more energy from the right). Nevertheless, there are many people out there, like myself, who want to see Romney win. Romney as VP candidate would energize many people who have been sitting on the sidelines since his withdrawal.

He never missed an opportunity to express criticisms about Romney that would have been far more damaging to other candidates had he the honesty to apply them there. By Anonymous, at July 25, 2008 at 12:21 AM I will always view Dick Morris as the disgruntled former assoc of Billary. I have never cared much for his commentary. By moms4mitt, at July 25, 2008 at 9:12 AM Ah, Dick Morris is a political heavy weight who is used to seeing lifetime politicians tackle this game of politics. Congratulations Dick you are witnessing a true professional take politics over. The days of talking and pandering for votes is over. Action speaks louder than a politicians words. Mitt is action! By Anonymous, at July 25, 2008 at 9:26 AM I always take what Morris says with a grain of salt. Yes he's always disliked Romney and I'm pretty sure he secretly advised Huck during the primary,making Iowa all about using religion as a wedge issue.I think the list is down to Romney and Pawlenty.Romney's been on vacation in Ontario so it won't happen till next week. It amaze sme that Obama gets more creds on the economy although he's never ran a darn thing. By Anonymous, at July 25, 2008 at 2:56 PM It's no secret that Morris worked for Huckabee in the past. He stated so during the primary. As Morris continues to do Huck's bidding with these bash Romney pieces, makes me highly suspicious he is back on Huck's payroll. You see Huck's staff are not content to hype their guy. Sometimes they are content simply to diss Romney. They see Romney as the biggest obstacle to their guy's success. But Romney is the least of his problems. Nevertheless, it would be great fun in a perverse sort of way to watch Huckabee try to support a McCain-Romney ticket. Its questionable if he can even bring himself do it. Oh what delight it will be to watch him squirm! Lori By Anonymous, at July 26, 2008 at 2:11 AM Morris is nothing but a political hack. The guy has no core values or beliefs at all, he just does whatever he can for who his best buddy is at the time. Weather it was Clinton before (now of course he hates the Clinton's cause they canned him) and now it is Mike Huckabee. Everything Morris says should just be laughed at. By Unknown, at July 26, 2008 at 4:03 PM Dick Morris is alway so wrong on so many issues. Can you really think of a lot of times he was right??? Nope, didn't think so. The only time he is right is when he tells the truth about the Clintons. That's about it!!1 By Anonymous, at July 27, 2008 at 10:16 PM Post a Comment

Mitt Romney will be the Vice Presidential Nominee

posted by Justin Hart | 10:10 AM | permalink

Update (12:30): Marc Ambinder says, look for no announcement this week. Mitt's out of town.

Update (11:30AM): Two sources say: "Mitt is it!" One source: "This is a head fake."

You heard it here first.

By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 10:49 AM Sarah Palin would be a better choice, all around. We'll see. By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 11:13 AM Definitely Sarah, I mean she was so thoroughly vetted by the media, and she's so experienced you KNOW she would be ready on day one. Plus she carries that major swing state of Alaska. The media will certainly not take the opportunity to point out she's currently under investigation for abuse of power, no way, she's too purdy! (Note: I don't think she's guilty, but come on, you don't pick someone currently under investigation, especially when they haven't really been vetted yet. Why bring on unnecessary scandal?) By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 11:39 AM I thought name calling went out of vogue when you graduated 6th grade? Did you not graduate 6th grade? McCain will lose my vote if he chooses Romney but who cares, I am just one vote, well two when you count my wife, oops maybe 20-25 when you count the rest of my family who also sees Romney for what he is. I just hope the rest of America sees him for what he is before it's too late. Who knows, maybe he will finally fulfill all those campaign promises he made when running for Senator and then Governor of Mass to be more Liberal than Ted Kennedy. By Joseph, at July 22, 2008 at 11:41 AM I really like Mitt, but unfortunately the hateful evangelicals do not. If McCain picks Mitt, he drives a wedge through the partt and loses. By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 12:10 PM Mitt is the definition of a pandering soul... Poor guy. By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 1:34 PM Head fake! Who knows? By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 1:53 PM Yeah, its a good thing Mitt will not be held accountable for old campaign promises you made up that he never said. He said he would be better for gay rights than Ted Kennedy, not more liberal. And he would have been. By not asking for anything radical (he was and still is opposed to gay marriage) he would be better at fighting actual discrimination. However, yes we know. You are perfectly willing to vote for McCain but not with Romney as VP because Romney is just too liberal compared to McCain, right? Why don't you just come out and admit what your problem with Mitt really is. It would be refreshing. Then tell us all how Obama would be so much better. I'm waiting...also feel free to point out this name calling you were addressing. By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 3:41 PM Where are you getting these two sources from Hart. Is this an inside scope from you or did you pick this off another site? By Unknown, at July 22, 2008 at 5:13 PM Boy am I tired of professional politicians. Their only skill is talking BS. Isn't it reasonable to elect a smart, experienced, non-politician to run the biggest business in the world??? Mitt Romney has it all. He would be great. By Unknown, at July 22, 2008 at 7:26 PM My mother, an evangelical fundamentalist, told me that she would be very happy if Mitt Romney was chosen as V.P. She wanted him to be THE nominee. At first she was hesitant, because he was a Mormon, but as she learned more about him, she became convinced that he would be a great President (or Vice President, in this case). By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 8:13 PM Les Miles to be named head coach at Michigan?...now really you shouldn't post headlines like romney will be named veep till after it happens, as my first headline highlights, things can change quick. I think it could and should happen but who knows what mccain will do with his veep pick. Also, i think all romney supporters should cease any knocks on mike huckabee...if romney and mccain can patch things up, romney and huckabee can to put their past in the past. Both will have big roles in the future of the gop and its stupid to constantly see snide remarks...+ i doubt they even face off in a future primary but i do think each would need the others supporters to ever get elected to the white house. By Anonymous, at July 22, 2008 at 9:02 PM Well, I think we've seen that a black man (or half black) can get elected as president; we've also seen that a woman can possibly get elected as well. But a Mormon?? Nah. . . I think that's the last bastion of bigotry, actually. Go pick any news article on the net about Mitt Romney. Then read the comments. What percentage of the comments are about his religion? Yeah, pretty high percentage. Romney would be the best all around, obviously, but I don't think too many evangelicals are as unbiased as BethTopaz' mom. I really do hope I'm wrong though. . By Anonymous, at July 23, 2008 at 9:22 AM Hey Blue, What about all of the Huckabee supporters that bash Romney? You cannot have it only 1 way. Especially when almost all of the bashing is on his (and my) religion! By Anonymous, at July 23, 2008 at 10:00 AM There's a couple things in the past week that may or may not mean anything. But one is Cindy McCain has become good friends with Ann Romney. The other was John McCain said last week that Romney did a better job explaining McCain's positions than he did himself. By Anonymous, at July 23, 2008 at 6:17 PM Oh heck. Spidy, you've got a point. AND the fact he has been on 'vacation' during the Obamapoloza tour and McCain has totally blown his opportunity. Shows me he can't swing along, without Romney keeping him on message, and being the attack dog. I'll be pretty bummed if it's not mitt. Oh, and anyon.... If your afraid to say who you are, maybe your vote would not count anyway? By Anonymous, at July 25, 2008 at 11:04 AM Mitt should and would have been the Rep. Nom. if it wasnt for McCain acting like a child and lying to Florida in the last few days there. I still cant get over how McCain could sit there, and go against everyone, the host, even the audience while everyone was trying to tell him what the word timetable means. Mitt would be a great president! And an outstanding VP choice! Go Mitt! By Anonymous, at July 28, 2008 at 9:44 AM Okay...it's been over a week. Where's the announcement??? Keeping fingers crossed.... By Anonymous, at July 30, 2008 at 7:31 PM My Man, Mitt is integerity personified! I will vote for John, regardless, but if he choses the Huck, the posssibility of me voting at all is slim! By Anonymous, at August 3, 2008 at 6:01 PM I WANT MITT TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE IN 2012 AND VP FOR MCCAIN AND PRAY EVERYDAY FOR MY DREAM! GO MITT! By Anonymous, at August 7, 2008 at 11:11 AM Wow -- check out Romney's latest Rasmussen Market's numbers!!!! He jumped 20 points! http://markets.rasmussenreports.com/ By Anonymous, at August 21, 2008 at 11:12 PM Post a Comment
