Clarifying and responding to my previous post

I just want to respond to some of the comments made about my previous post about McCain and his bad veep options.

You loathed Romney? You were probably a Huck-supporter, and thus a self-righteous populist. There's a reason why Rush Limbaugh, the biggest voice of true conservatism, always criticized Huck and McCain, yet praised Romney, subtly, yet often.

Actually, I didn't think much of Huck either. His style always seemed very similar to the conservative southern democrats that once existed. His tax plan was unworkable and his positions made clear that he supported vast increases of "infrastrucutre" spending. 

Perhaps "loathed" was too strong. My problem with Romney was mainly the way he was being presented, not necessarily the man himself. Rush and many other prominent conservatives promoted him on the basis that he was a true conservative.  But Romney, it must be remembered, raised taxes as governor, suffered poor job growth in MA, instituted an expensive health care system that has been slammed by the Wall Street Journal as a prelude to Obama/Hillarycare, and promised to bail out the auto industry in Michigan. Some would say that that sort of record would make him an "abolute disaster". In any case, I don't see how any of those reflect "true conservatism".       

Not much there that would sawy voters to Obama since they were fights about conservative ideology and not really about fundamentals like experience.  "Dont vote McCain because McCain said Romney flipflopped on an issue" is really really really lame.     

But I'm pretty sure that Romney slammed McCain for not knowing enough about the economy. Since that is the Democrat's big theme, they probably have already prepared an ad similar to the Biden one, where they can go "See? Even his veep admits he can't handle the economy".

Palin would be a good pick.

Another problem with Palin, though, is that she is a pretty recent governor (Dec. 2006) and an NBC poll has shown that 20% are actually less likely to support McCain if he picks a woman.

Of course, since McCain has zero chance of winning, it does not really matter who he picks.                            

Really? He's almost tied with BO (prompting notcable panic from the Dems), slightly ahead in the electoral college, and he has a zero chance? Can't he at least get a 25% chance out of this?                 

I think this tells me more about you then you're trying to tell us about McCain's VP picks. He, himself, is an absolute disaster. I still feel sick that we have him to represent us.
