Waugs, I happen to believe it was a very astute choice. She will relate heavily to all the female voters and the conservative block. Also, she doesn't have a lot of baggage which Obama/Biden can attack. I feel strongly that had it been offered to Romney he would have gladly accepted. I don't know about Pawlenty. I lived in Minnesota 9 years and my feel is that had he been the choice, since MN is a heavily Demo state, he couldn't have even carried Minnesota for McCain. Besides, he likes his job as governor. Romney, on the other hand has nothing to do right now but wait until Ted Kennedy dies and run for the Senate. He almost beat Ted Kennedy a few years ago, if you recall. If you've seen any of Romney's interviews he said he would be delighted to serve as McCains VP. But it was not offered to Romney. In my opinion, Romney nor the others were spooked off by the 84,000 in the stands in Denver. Just the opposite, Romney would have looked at it as a challenge and if they didn't win, he would have given it his best and lined himself up for 2012. Wizard

I didn't ask for a partisan ad-hominem attack on Senator Obama, I asked if you want to place a wager on your statement that he will be out looking for a job on November 5th. ;o)
