McLame and Mittens Now “Good Friends”
ALBUQUERQUE - For those of you keeping track of who Republican presidential candidate John McCain might pick as his vice presidential running mate, consider this:

McCain told a fundraising event in Albuquerque that he and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, whom McCain defeated in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, have become good friends.


It was only a few months ago when the two were at each other’s throats in the often-acrimonious campaign.

“Mitt and Ann Romney and Cindy and I have become good friends,” McCain said in describing how he feels the Republican Party is united now for the battle against Barack Obama for the Nov. 4 election.

In fact, he said, based on Romney’s television appearances on McCain’s behalf, “He does a better job for me than he did for himself, as a matter of fact.”

4. I had always suspected Romney would be the Republican VP pick...
Even though I incorrectly guessed Hagel would run for it.

5. Romney is a good bet.
McDubs has to shore up his base before he can seek indys.

Mittens is the one who defended corporations and said in a debate he's not concerned with what the voter thinks. That's the con base.
