Mitt had his religion talk. Can we get over what religion he belongs to. The US
should be happy of he were VP or President. He is a sharp guy.
Scott | 2:16 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Here is a question that I have contemplated for the past few months. Anyone
care to help?
Humor me and suppose that John McCain loses in November to Obama. Would it be better for Romney's future chances of being President to be on a losing ticket with McCain or be better to not be on that ticket?

If McCain is serious about winning he'll select the wheat (Romney) whose
character,experience,intellect and wisdom far surpasses that of any other
candidate he has mentioned, and espccially Huckabee who would weaken, perhaps
fatally, the GOP ticket.I'd truly look forward to the VP debate between
Biden and Romney - the long winded bag of wind (Biden) vs. the quick, precise
Romney who would be the only person in the race with true executive experience
(Olympics, Business and Governor). McCain is too smart to pick anyone other
than Romney.

We'd all be better off if you'd just shut up.

It appears McCain intends to have a very religious running mate. Supposed
'christian values' will rule take precedent over constitutional
principals. More evidence that McCain is nothing more than Bush 3.

Huckabee has proven he is a religious bigot by his past comments and conduct. It
would be wrong to narrow the party to theses extremists who actually have a hate
for others who do not worship exactly like them. It is unfortunate fox is even
using such views as commentary where e is so bias. Nominate Huckabee and help me
find a third party canidate or the unthinkable O'Bama.

WE (you and I and millions of us) have gotten over it a long time ago.
It's just a few vocal narrow-minded leaders of certain faiths that can't seem to see past it.

Mitt has been sent to be the dog at the demo convention: bark, bark, bark.
That is how the gop looks at him.
And he religiously has done it. No backbone, no spine to say "No that is demeaning."
You know it is a bad gig if you have Guiliani next to you.
Sorry state of affairs for Mitt. But then again, he could have said NO.
Politics really can corrupt a man, eh.

Mitt Romney faced an enormous ammount of anti-Mormon bigotry from both sides of
the political spectrum and there is little doubt that, as discussed in the new
book, A Different God? Mitt Romney, The Religious Right and The Mormon Question,
it had a devestating impact on Romney's presidential campaign. But it looks
like Romney has been able to overcome a lot of the bigotry and could very well
end up as the VP nominee.
Here in Texas | 6:33 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Hmmm, the Romney dislikers certainly have some deep seated intellectual views.
Lot of deep thought there. Romney is smart, potentially brings Michigan into
play, and I believe can make a difference in the economy of the future. The
only downside is Huckabee's apparent determined animus against him.
Indiana | 7:06 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
This is what I heard on the KSL Doug Wright show yesterday. He is in Denver and
his guest who made the comments below was from Zogby
�47% of all polled said Mitt Romney should be VP. 5% said Pawlenty.
Of Republicans polled, 49% said Mitt and below 5% said Pawlenty.�
Oh, by the way, that was 1st and 2nd place.
"Pawlenty on the ticket brings Obama a victory. If the pick is being made FOR McCain and he is not having to spend time in angst over the decision. It is foolish for JMc not to pick Romney because the way it stands right now, HE CAN ONLY WIN WITH MITT ROMNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!�
I am stoked with this report!!!!!!!!!! There was also the fact that it is coming down to abortion and Romney has the definite edge over the pro choice candidates�
Some folks are finally getting that Mitt has been so demonized that it cost America a very good man. Maybe we can right the wrong.
If interested, write JMc's campaign, cpac and the rnc and tell them what you would like to see happen.

To Mitt out | 7:37 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I guess you've never heard of putting others needs above your own? Sending
a Rep. that was weak and cowardly to Denver during the DNC would be the same as
sending no one. Mitt is truly behind his party's effort, so if he was asked
to do something he does it. We usually call this unifying the party. The GOP
knows they have a good man in Romney so why not allow him to assist in the
cause. If you want to talk about bark, look at Pelosi and her bark when she got
into office. "We'll have 100 days of change." I'm still
waiting for that.

I used to really like Mike Huckabee, but he really proved he could be nasty and
bigoted.
A lot of the animosity against Romney just had to do with plain old envy. Romney is so successful, good looking, rich and has a "perfect" family. He also had incredible resources to spend in every race. It was really hard to for the other candidates to take. One commentator said that Romney is like the transfer student who comes into your high school and is better looking than anyone and gets elected studentbody president. That was a lot of the problem.
On the other hand, he has made some mistakes. He really did the wrong thing when he took a pro-choice position in order to get elected governor in Mass. I understand why he did it, but it was wrong and it has come back to bite him. I don't believe for one minute that he was really pro-abortion, but he couldn't have been elected in Massachusets without it.
Overall, I am a Romney supporter and I think if he is the VP pick, win or lose, it would put him in great position to be the future frontrunner.

Conservative evangelicals should be more concerned about what religion Obama
belongs too.
I thought in America you could belong to any religion. It wasn't a litmus test if you could run for office. The religious bigots of the conservative party need to start practicing their christian beliefs. Huckabee is not better christian than Mitt.

Mitt Romney is way above any of the other former presidential candidates
(including McCain) in terms of experience, know-how, common sense, and
management ability. He has business, financial and social acumen that are
sorely needed. To the GOP's discredit, petty politics and religious
elitism handed the nomination to McCain.
I think it says a great deal that the Christian right continues to torpedo Romney, a man who lives a VERY Christian life, while they handed McCain the nomination, a man who has said and done some very un-Christian things, not the least of which was leave his first marriage for selfish reasons.
Sad days. But I have to hand it to Romney ... He is a GREAT sport. I'd be harboring some bad feelings in his shoes, but he seems to be taking everything in stride, and doing his part (and then some) for the team ... with no promise of anything in return. McCain ought to consider himself lucky, and would be wise to pick Romney and give him even more to do than Bush has given Cheney.

Steve Price | 8:07 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Mr. Bass, it seems you care enough to put in a comment. McCain will make his
own decision regardless of polls and may not pick Romney. The current polls do
show that he could beat Obama if he decided to choose Romney and would lose if
he did not. The evangelical ministers may be a small group, however, they do
have sway with a lot of voters. It is unfortunate that the support of a vp
candidate would be based on his religious beliefs instead of his political
beliefs. I guess McCain's choice comes down to whether or not he wants to
win the race for President and forget about prejudices.
Mike Huckabee | 8:05 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Boy, he has let these sour grapes turn into a good "Whine", only with
the taste of acidic vinegar!
Ken Baguley | 8:07 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
In 1997, Carl Musser and Paul Owen (Evangelicals) said that Evangelicals need to
overcome inaccurate presuppositions about Mormonism. They deatailed that many
authors promote criticisms that have long been refuted; some are
sensationalistic while others are simply ridiculous. Reminder: these are
Evangelicals critical of Evangelicals. Go Mitt Go!!!
M. Allred | 8:07 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Your opinion only, Mr. Bass. That logic does not hold. What you wrote is is like
stating, only African-Americans will vote for Obama, and no one else cares. Or,
only a woman would vote for Hillary (if she was the Demo nominee), and no one
else cares, or only Law and Order fans would vote for Fred Thompson (if he were
the Repub nominee), and no one else cares. Truly, I am not swayed by such logic.
When it comes to politics, Catholic, Baptist, woman or man, Black or White, or
whatever, I, and most Americans, dive into the political issues, and his or her
position and record, not what religion, gender or race he or she belongs too or
is. For example, I wouldn't give Harry Reid my vote if he were running for
Prez.

To Ernest T. Bass:
Are you kidding me that nobody but mormon's care about Romney? I've talked to many people who don't belong to the Mormon faith who believe Romney has good character and great values and would bring great things to the rebublican ticket. Maybe if you could get out a little bit and talk to a wide array of people you would see this. What you said is almost like saying only african-americans care about Obama or only women care about Hillary clinton, or only protestant christians care about Hukabee. Don't be so narrow minded as to think that only members of the Mormon faith are able to see what a good man Romney is and also if you talk to many mormons they don't necissarily support romney either. Just think about things you say before you make biggoted comments.

so is Romney a strong possibility that he could be destined for McCain's
V.P. slot? Sure looks like Romney is going full swing to do all kinds of
political chores for him lately.
Voice of the People | 8:13 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
They say Romney is a flip-flopper, but I am able to look past it becasue I
believe a politician's role is to act according to the voice of the people
s/he is serving, even though it might be against their personal judgement. I
hope all politicians acted with this in mind, the majority should rule.
The economy is the biggest issue in voters minds today and Mitt is the financial genious we need to take the US to the next level. I am not a huge fan of McCain, will become one with Mitt as the VP.

Ed Clinch | 8:21 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I think that so many new people are registering to vote for Obama that McCain
has a long row to hoe to win.
Romney is the best candidate, for sure, and I will vote Republican but I think the White House is switching parties this year regardless.
I hope Romney the best of luck in the future. He would be a great elected leader for the nation.

that Romney is the right guy for the VP pick. I think this data should make it
more and more clear that guys like Ernest T. Bass have no idea what they're
talking about. People all over the country are rallying to Mitt.
Almost all the commentators I hear say they are hearing all over the country that Romney is the guy Republicans want for their VP. I hope McCain is listening!

Wendell Stafford | 8:28 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I'm sorry that there are still so many people of other faiths that feel
like members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are not
christians. Have they taken any time to consider the name of the church and what
we truly believe? We are as christian in the way we live our lives as anyone
could possibly be. Mitt Romney is as christian as they come and I believe he
will defend our right to practice the freedom of religion that this, our country
was founded on. It is not a matter of what ones faith is or the church that one
belongs to or believes in, but that we believe in God and his son Jesus Christ
and are willing to defend our right to believe in them. The United States of
America is what it is because we believe in God and are willing to fight for
that freedom. Mitt Romney will do that for all of us, regardless of how or what
we believe in.
mike | 8:31 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I think I can slightly sympathize (but never come close) to identifying with
minorities in this country. If I get this straight - because I am LDS, I cannot
become president. But if I am Protestant (I won't qualify them as
Christians, as they are no more so than I am) I am golden. I get it!!! All I
have to do is sell out, and I too can be president. By the way.... Mitt is the
best choice. What McCain needs to do is select him as running mate and present
the Protestants with the alternative for not voting for him. He will need to
back Mitt, and tell the bigoted Evangelicals to leave their little fairy land of
delusion and do what's best for our country.
It's logical | 8:32 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Think about it..who has more credentials than Mitt? Business and economics,
conservative values, experience with leadership in the Olympics all give him the
edge over the other possibles. If McCain really wants to have THE winning
ticket, he needs to get Mitt involved.
South Carolina for Mitt | 8:33 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Ernest T. Bass (how original) is wrong about only Mormons being for Romney. In
South Carolina, Romney was supported by Sen. Jim DeMint (a Born-again Christian)
and popular former Governor Jim Edwards (another devout Christian). They put
religion aside and recognized that Romney was the best leader.
Anonymous | 8:36 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I don't want him to choose either Huckabee or Romney. If he does Obama will
gain one extra vote.
Perplexed | 8:41 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
One of the most perplexing criticisms of Mitt Romney is that he is too
successful, good looking, and rich and has a perfect family. Why do people want
the President and/or Vice President to be "ordinary" people? The
commentators at the Democratic Convention mentioned several times that voters
were concerned about who Barack Obama really was. For example, they had trouble
answering the question of what he would be like if he were at your backyard
barbecue. Personally, I don't want a President who is who would fit in at
my backyard barbecue...I want a President who feels comfortable meeting with
foreign dignitaries to discuss matters of national security, a President who has
world class executive experience that would aid him as he runs and governs the
largest institution in the country, a leader who can put together teams and task
forces to solve some of the worlds most complex problems. If he happens to be
an ordinary, approachable guy that I can relate to I would count that as an
added bonus, but to let that drive voting behavior seems irrational. But then
again, Obama got 18 million votes through fluffy rhetoric so rationality is out
the window!
Not4Romney | 9:07 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Romney could wake up tomorrow and denounce Mormanism and I still would not vote
for him. The reason he is not worthy is that he has not shown a CONSISTANT
committment to pro-life, pro-family values. Plus he was nasty to McCain during
the primaries. The Dems could have a field day with all the video footage they
would have of Romney attacking McCain. You might not like Huck, but he was a
class act with McCain during the primaries.
Jeremiah | 9:09 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
For what it's worth, Mitt Romney is great at a backyard barbecue. Ask
anyone who actually knows him. He's a normal guy who will bring the salad
or the meat to the BBQ, whatever you need, and then help you pull weeds while
the meat is cooking. Then the next day he'll put on his suit and go meet
those powerful, international people you (Perplexed) were referring too. Ideal
package in a president.
Nils | 9:17 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I admit that Mitt Romney would probably be the smartest pick for McCain. People
talk about Michigan as a factor, but I think three smaller states, Nevada,
Colorado, and New Mexico, are also potential benefits that a McCain/Romney
ticket could bring. All together that is 19 delegates (38 delegate difference
if you count the ones that Obama would lose as well). That said, I hope McCain
doesn't pick Mitt. It will help Obama's chances.
Pro-life Catholic | 9:24 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Mitt's flip-flop on a core value shows he is not a total puppet of the LDS
church
lumin | 9:28 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Romney is the best choice.
In terms of hands-on experience, he runs circles around both Obama and Biden and any other GOP VP choice.
Some say he has flip-flopped on abortion. I don't understand why this is such a big deal. Even in the unlikely event he flipped back to being pro-abortion, what say does a Vice President even have in overturning national abortion laws?
Some say he is a "job killer". This is completely absurd. Yes, to grow the economy you sometimes do have to trim jobs so that new jobs can grow. It's similar to pruning a rose bush - you don't get more roses unless you prune the plant every so often.
Romney helped companies like Staples and Dominoes to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Next time you eat a pizza or buy printer paper, remember that Mitt Romney had a hand in it.
Romney has a beautiful family. Just do a Google search for Romney family photo and you'll see what I mean.
What's wrong with having a guy who is morally clean and extremely smart as our VP?

This is an interesting election cycle. I don't think there has ever been a
time in this country where the GOP Vice President pick mattered so much.
If John McCain picks Mitt Romney as his VP you will have Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Laura Ingram throw their unwavering support around the McCain campaign. All of the major conservative talk show hosts have been absolutely transparent for their support of Mitt Romney. You will see millions of Americans in Michigan, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Utah and many other places strongly supporting John McCain's campaign.
We are not voting for John McCain as President, we are voting for Mitt Romney as VP. Remember, John McCain already won in most of the primary southern states, so it's not like putting Romney on is going to hurt the Christian vote. Considering that John McCain and Barack Obama are tied in polls right now, I would be willing to bet that his poll numbers sky-rocket after Romney gets chosen.
Go Romney!

Less Perplexed | 9:49 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I am less perplexed now, as Perplexed has made a very valid point. Our emotions
are always part of us, and Obama plays to the emotions of a large segment of our
population. We all like the feeling of "hope" vs.
"desperation", but alas, Obama-generated hope is likely only that -
"hope". Mitt Romney can help build real "good" on top of
hope.
Christian??? | 9:57 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
These so called Christians who are so quick to snub someone because their
religion doesn't follow them exactly is not to me a Christian behavior. It
looks to me that "Christianity" is in the dark ages as compared to
race. People who were once prejudice against blacks and didn't give them
equal rights have shown more progress then people of religion. I do not agree
with other religions, but I would not refrain from supporting them, if they have
the same values. I do not understand why Romney was as liberal as he was
concerning abortion, even Reid has been anti-abortion the whole time. But I do
know that Romney has good family values and Christian values, as a member of the
LDS church, I would say, hmmm, he has not been 100% the same in my thinking. As
a member of the Republican party, I would say, I feel confident in his helping
to get this country back on track economocly. We are not choosing a church
leader, we are choosing a politician and people need to put their prejudice away
at the polls, the whites have.

Mitt has said time and time again that he will not be the VP pick. But,
everybody from Sean Hannity to Lou Dobbs keep insisting Mitt is it.The odds are
that McCain is going to pick a woman candidate.That candidate will probably be
Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.She is pro-life and a solid conservative.Plus the
fact that she is a total babe will energize McCain's campaign.

More about Romney:
"Romney graduated from the Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in 1965 and earned a perfect score on his SAT. After attending Stanford University for two quarters, Romney served in France for 30 months as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Subsequently, Romney attended Brigham Young University, where he graduated as valedictorian, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude in 1971. Romney received a ministerial deferment from the military draft while in France, and three years of deferments while a student. When he became eligible for military service in 1970, his high number in the annual draft lottery meant he would not be drafted.
In 1975, Romney graduated from a joint Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration program coordinated between Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. He graduated cum laude from the law school and was named a Baker Scholar for graduating in the top five percent of his business school class."

I hear people complaining all the time that we never get the "best" Americans to run our country. Well Mitt Romney is among our best, and we are fools if we don't see that.

When he became eligible for military service in 1970, his high number in the annual draft lottery meant he would not be drafted.
In 1975, Romney graduated from a joint Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration program coordinated between Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. He graduated cum laude from the law school and was named a Baker Scholar for graduating in the top five percent of his business school class."

I hear people complaining all the time that we never get the "best" Americans to run our country. Well Mitt Romney is among our best, and we are fools if we don't see that.

Are you tracking the polls? Both candidates are neck-and-neck.
The more people find out about Nobama, the less likely they will vote for him.
Mitt is a plus.
