Romney to McCain: I would be 'honored' to be your running mate

The Associated Press
Article Last Updated: 03/12/2008 01:16:08 PM MDT


Posted: 9:12 AM- WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney says he would be "honored" to be chosen as a running mate to the Republican presidential nominee.

Romney dropped out of the presidential race in February after falling behind in the delegate count in Super Tuesday contests to John McCain. McCain has now clinched enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee.

Romney's comments came on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

He has recently been suggested as a promising option for a McCain ticket by former White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove and other political commentators.

Others say he would not help McCain attract evangelical voters or voters from the South - segments where both men more often lost to former candidate Mike Huckabee.

Anything constructive to say, ever? I personally dislike Romney, but it gets a little ridiculous.

Either way, Romney is pretty unlikely. I think Romney's statement is simply a way of showing support while still maintaining his stature nationally (not like there's much to maintain). It's supposed to make them both look good at the same time. I'd be pretty sure McCain picks someone who didn't run in this year's primary, he doesn't need to get fancy with his pick at this point.

See, this is what disgusts me about politics. Can we cut out the bulls*** please? Romney and McCain hate each other, they made that perfectly in the debates and campaigning. So don't act like an amnesiac and you're all hunky dory now. It's disgusting and is why this country's politics is so screwed up, cause no one tells the truth.

I'd rather have Huckabee than Mitt...and I really don't want Huckabee.

Sanford, Ridge, Rudy would be fine by me.

I hope McCain selects an outstanding statesman like Romney to be at the bottom of the ticket.

I can hope for Ridge or Rudy...but will accept someone like Sanford...not sure about a Haley Barbour though

Ugh, seriously. No.

 If McCain wants to win, he's gotta pick someone who would be an asset to the ticket, and Romney brings nothing.

McCain/Watts 08. lol

Romney would be a dream come true for Democratic ad makers.  You think the John Kerry flip flop ads were effective? 

Just wait until the two biggest flip floppers in the original GOP Presidential field join forces on the ticket.  It would be a bad move, Mac.

An improvement. This ticket would at least have one honorable man on it, as opposed to the zero honorable men on a McCain/Pawlenty, McCain/Sanford, McCain/Giuliani or any other ticket of the sort.

I can't vote anyway, not being a US citizen, but I wouldn't vote for a McCain/Romney ticket even if I could vote.

Well, if Romney were picked, I guess that alone would be a successful deterrent to any potential John McCain assassination plans.

I just thought of another benefit to Romney being the VP candidate:  His sons could continue to serve their country without going to Iraq of Afganistan.

Inspired, Mitt!!!!
