Romney Supporters Reaching Back Into Political Cookie Jar

And we thought we were done with Mitt Romney? Not So Fast! An active campaign to get Romney selected as Sen. John McCain’s running mate is underway, as demonstrated (in part) by this Facebook group. The group’s admins list seven reasons why McCain should select Romney:

1. Romney has shown that he can win Michigan and places like Minnesota, Nevada, Colorado, and some other "purple" states that could go either way in the general election.
-Romney can win Michigan because he’s from there. McCain will do fine in “purple” states on his own because he appeals to the center, something Romney could never do. In many “purple” states (aka Swing States), Romney is actually a liability.

2. Romney doesn't have any skeletons in his closet that could hurt McCain.
-
This is because Romney’s skeletons are in the living room serving coffee. Gun control, his alleged “flip-flop” on abortion, and Mormonism, be they real problems or not, are going to be a liability. We didn’t make him our presidential nominee for a reason.

3. Romney could still sell his turnaround the economy strategy and McCain could say that he would let Mitt write the economic strategy.
I’m sorry, did I miss the memo? Romney can manage money, I get it. I haven’t seen a strategy.

4. They both agree at the importance of protecting America and increasing the size of our military.
So does everyone else in our party, except for Ron Paul, who isn’t really in our party.

5. Mitt can use his very impressive fund raising machine to help McCain raise money since McCain is still very short on funds.
He should have been doing so already.

6. Romney would be a perfect candidate to strengthen the three legs of the conservative movement.
I don’t even get what this means, or how McCain would need help.

7. Romney will be a very strong candidate to succeed McCain after McCain serves one term.
Et tu, Brute? Seriously, though, are we talking about ’12 already. And I thought this cycle was bad.

All that aside, I can see why Romney would be a good VP nominee. But saying, as the group title does, that a McCain/Romney ticket is “OUR LAST HOPE” reeks of a political sore loser and trying to come in second place. This isn’t the Soap Box Derby, there is no prize for second.
