There is a strong case for a Mitt Romney vice presidential
nod. There are 3 main reasons why Mitt
Romney should get the nod. Romney will
give help the ticket on economical issues, enthusiasm, and geographical
advantages.
Both John McCain and Barack Obama are not known for their sound economic
policies. Most polls have indicated that
the economy is the number one issue in this election. Mitt Romney’s strong suit is his economic
prowess. He has devoted his entire life
to our nation’s economy. He has been successfully
economically in both the political and business arenas. John McCain can use Mitt Romney’s economic savvy
to give credibility to his economic platform.
Mitt Romney can bring the needed enthusiasm to take on Barack Obama. A lot of the grass roots of this party
supported Romney in the primary and feel like they have someone who is not
conservative enough for them. Mitt could
help rally the troops without damaging McCain’s maverick image because
conservatives view Romney as a conservative and moderates view him as a
moderate. He has shown that his business
savvy translates directly to successful fundraising. His advisors have claimed that he could raise
50 million in 60 days. Now that Barack
Obama has turned down public financing, money is a huge issue. Mitt Romney also brings some youth and vigor
to the campaign. He can give the ticket
the shot in the arm that it needs.
Mitt Romney can help the ticket in states where McCain is lagging. The race is close and leaning slightly
democrat in New Hampshire, Connecticut,
Nevada, Colorado,
Ohio, Michigan,
New Mexico, Oregon,
and Florida. Romney can significantly help in these states. He has done very well with blue collar
workers, Mormons, and economic conservatives. These states have a large number of those demographics.
Mitt Romney can give McCain’s campaign the shot in the arm that it needs. He will help make the economic conservatives
feel better about voting for McCain. He
will help deliver states that are on the border. Mitt Romney will also help bolster the
fundraising effort. McCain/Romney 2008
is a winning combination.
