» Veep Romney?
Journalist Mark Halperin has heard from two Republican sources that John McCain's "settled" on Mitt Romney as his running mate, which will no doubt bolster the candidate's standing among social conservatives. [The Page] |

While many people think the duo would do well together, with Mormon Mitt balancing McCain's alleged liberal leanings, thus wooing worried social conservatives, evangelical voters aren't having it. And now they're telling McCain to look elsewhere… |

The failed presidential candidate, who some say may be John McCain's top veep pick, appeared on CNN yesterday and, despite former military leaders' opposition opinion, backed Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Said Romney when asked about whether it's time to repeal the discriminatory measure: You know, I don't think so. I think particularly at a time of conflict, as we're experiencing in Iraq and Afghanistan, this is not the time to be putting in place a major change in policy and trying to accommodate all of the adjustments that that would require. That's something which clearly we'll learn from the military and the people who are responsible for managing our troops down the road. But certainly now is not the time to make a change of that nature. Really, Mitt Romney? Because four retired military men oversaw- and backed - a study saying repealing the law would not hurt unit cohesion. But, for some reason, Romney, a millionaire political scion, thinks he knows more than people who were actually in the military. Good God, Mitt! Have you no brain? Video after the jump… |

Surprising many Republican insiders, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is at the top of the vice presidential prospect list for John McCain. But lack of personal chemistry could derail the pick. Romney would also help bring out the religious and social conservative vote. Could it be time to remind Republicans that Romney flip-flopped on gay rights? He once proclaimed his same-sex support, but later championed against gay marriage in his state. |

This must be a proud moment for the Republican party: gay porn starturned GOP demigod Matt Sanchez talking with gay escort turned White House press puppy and author Jeff Gannon about shady Hillary Clinton. Watch as Gannon wonders about where Hillary Clinton got the $5 million to loan her campaign. Old chrome dome Gannon also asks why the press glossed over Mrs. Clinton's contribution, while everyone picked apart Mitt Romney's $35 million. Now, we know these guys have trouble with moral relativity, but we never suspected elementary economics would throw them off. Nor have they been looking for the Clinton critiques: at least 3,851 news stories reference Clinton's loan, according to a simple Google search. Meanwhile, some of those articles question where she got the money. |

We are a bit surprised, however, by the levels of self-congratulation in their reactionary press release, which you can read after the jump: |

Update: It's official! Mormon and homophone Mitt Romney dropped out the race today. Here's a bit of his speech: I must now stand aside, for our party and our country… If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. Apparently America doesn't love Romney enough to keep him in the race. Shame… |
