The next VP will be...


When thinking about the vice president position, many feel the position is a stepping stone, or rather a whipping dog to the president. The decision of picking a VP seems for many, easy and simply you pick someone who is going to help you win in area you wouldn’t win alone. The VP is just extra security for the nominee and not that important in governing the country, sad but honest. But for McCain the decision picking a VP is probably the most important decision he is going to make, and one that will either throw him forward into the white house, or get him a bad seat on January 20th at Obamas inauguration. For McCain he has age and term limited problems that many first term presidents don't run into, which prompts his decision to pick a good VP even more important. So to answer the question who would best help McCain in the fall is none other then Mitt Romney. Yes, the former opponent to John McCain and probably the chief conservative strategist that wanted everyone else to be the nominee except McCain, Romney is the only candidate for the job that seems worth looking at. Many people would shake their heads and say there is no way that this man could ever be the VP, but I will give my facts to support this decision. Mitt Romney is a former governor who has a great resume to be President, but felt short when it came down to Super Tuesday in February 08. On this impeccable resume you would read that he was a very successful governor who had passed and signed many laws into affect that has keep his state remain safe, that state being Massachusetts, and how he has such a great knowledge of foreign affairs and the war on terror. However the most important part of Romney’s resume is that he has the most experience when dealing with the economy, more then McCain, Obama, and any democratic VP hopeful. With the economy where it is, and everyone saying we need someone who knows how to fix it and solve our problems we been having in our pockets we need someone to fix it. Well then Romney looks more important now doesn’t he, and in fact when looking at states and job growth, Massachusetts again dominates because of Romney working program. If you are a graduating student from now, and until forever, you would want Romney to take charge of the economy. Again you might be saying well the VP isn’t important, why not put Romney as secretary of the treasury? Simply because Romney has an ego, and wants to be president and he knows that if he is the VP then being the republican nominee in 2012 is unstoppable. History proves that those who seek the nomination after serving as VP are highly successful, but sadly them winning is not. But Romney has enough time to prove that history wrong, and with the economy on everyone’s mind, and if McCain wins that issue, then on January 2oth 2oo9 John McCain will be President.
