Romney Wouldn’t Accept VP Slot ... Not That McCain’s Offering
(CBS)
SANFORD, FLA. -- As he continues his unrelenting focus on the economy a day before the critical Florida primary, Mitt Romney said that he’s not interested in being John McCain’s running mate.
“He’s a hero, but his views on the economy I think are sort of summed up by his own statement that it’s not really something he understands that well,” Romney said of McCain at an airport rally attended by over 200 people.
“He’s said that a couple times and indicated that when he chose his vice president, it would have to be someone who really understood the economy. Well, I do understand the economy — I’m not going to be any vice president to John McCain either.”
There seems to be no love lost between Romney and McCain — whose attacks on one another have become increasingly vitriolic and sometimes personal.
The importance of tomorrow’s primary to Romney’s campaign cannot be overstated, and the former Massachusetts governor is jetting across Florida with six events planned for the day. As the race remains too close to call, Romney is banking his hopes here on polling data that shows the economy is the most important issue to voters.
“Are we gonna have a president who understands the economy right down to the center of his core, it’s in his DNA like me, or not?” Romney said as the crowd cheered.
“Are we going to get the job done and are we going to win the primary tomorrow?”
The partisan audience here sure sounded confident.

Romney is being propped up in the media, but a serious analysis of the electoral votes shows he has NO chance of winning the nomination at this point. He won''t play strong enough in the South, and McCain pretty much has much of the West coast wrapped up.
If Romney would get behind Huckabee, who is more consistently conservative than he, we could have a chance to stop McCain AND get a conservative we could be proud of, who truly represents the PEOPLE instead of the entrenched powers, into the White House.
After all, in 2005 Romney said Huckabee would make a "great President."
Not only does Mitt not cheat in debates, he doesn''t cheat on his wife.
He is obviously the most competent individual for President. Go compare the coverage between him and McCain and it will become clear that McCain is the darling of the liberal media as a backup to their hopes for Clinton.
Mitt Romney is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work for the American people.
Mike Huckabee is an Ambassador of the American spirit. You are doing great Mike! Number 2 Nationwide in polls and 2nd most amount of delegates so far. The media may try to avoid stating those facts, but your people know them. We are growing in numbers daily. keep up the momentum!
Aaron Tippin song:
"He''d say you''ve got to stand for something or you''ll fall for anything
You''ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what''s right and uphold your family name
You''ve got to stand for something or you''ll fall for anything"
Mike Huckabee stands up for whats right.
Please vote 4 Governor Huckabee
I''m sorry, but McCain''s experience serving rank and file in the Navy does not qualify him as a leader over CEO of the Olympics Romney or turnabout artist of over 200 companies Romney. McCain graduated near the bottom of his class at West Point, and that is supposed to inspire me to believe he is the best for the job? Here''s a hint: military schools are not that tough--more physically than academically, where they pitch to the lowest common denominator. (Nothing against West Point. I''m a Vet myself.)
Romney could be Dean at Harvard, while McCain blew off his education. Who do you want as President?
What you suggest here is that McCain is the front runner, and his major opponent (ahead in some polls) ought to take the consolation prize and step aside when there''s still no clear winner here.
Look, I understand you hate the guy -- I''m with you -- but this is how you get accused of playing favorites.
