Comments on: It’s Not Romney?! http://asoftanswer.com/2008/08/28/its-not-romney/ an unseemly mix of politics and Mormonism Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:25:07 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David H.

Sundwall Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:09:33 +0000 http://www.asoftanswer.com/?p=1408#comment-4688 I agree that the Veep stakes probably won't do a whole lot of good, but Palin seems to be making a big splash as of today. It's too early to tell but she may really soften some of his hard edges. Obama's big speech is already off the front pages and she's dominating today's news. It's definitely made a bigger impression than what was thought to be the inevitable and boring Romney or Pawlenty pick. I agree with David, that after the last few weeks I'm starting to think that McCain isn't trying to imitate Dole and may actually want to win the race. Strange!

Very true. The VP candidate tend to fade to the background quickly after the convention season (with the VP debate being an exception). “Still, let’s be honest here–neither Biden nor Palin are going to swing this election, no matter how many political analysts are going to try to claim otherwise.”

(I mean, the chatter recently had been Romney or Pawlenty, who might've been gold for the base, but were worse than boring. Palin or Jindal both had much more potential upside, as i saw it.)

If not (and I am hoping that there will not be a McCain cabinet) he will likely be a mission president. I argued in favor of Romney because it would help the Democratic ticket here:
