Romney: "I would like to be Vice President, please"

[telerib]

Thursday, Presidential candidate Mitt Romney endorsed his former opponent, John McCain, adding, "Really, it's clear John is going to win, and I don't see why I should withhold my delegates and my support. And I would really like to be Vice President, please."

McCain, appearing with Romney said, "I'll have to think about that, Mitt, but it's something we could work. I wouldn't mind picking up your supporters in the West."

Reporters wanted to know whether McCain would be more likely to court the evangelical Christian vote by taking Huckabee as a running mate. "Do you see Huck up here with me?" McCain shot back. "I don't think you do."

And quite frankly, Romney doesn't leave the impression of having done a swan dive into the Crazy Pool like Huckabee does.

Wait, there's politicians (in any party) out there who -haven't- taken a dive into the Crazy Pool?

Um, has McCain noticed that people who claim Massachusetts as a home state haven't done too well in national elections over the past 20 years?

Hiya, I'm a Dem... and although McCain isn't my first choice overall, I'd rather have him as President than most of the contenders on the Republican side... and either party is more likely to stay (relatively) honest if they've got strong opposition.

Therefore I'm hoping McCain manages to make peace with his party's base (and that those who strongly dislike him can swallow their feelings long enough to hear what he has to say)...

Also, I'd rather have Romney running around capitol hill than Huckabee. Figure I could probably live with either Romney or McCain... The notion of a Huckabee presidency scares me silly.
