NRO is all over the VP speculation:
Byron York says that he's hearing McCain has made the decision and told his staff. York then says that while Lieberman would be the choice if McCain would win no matter what, that's not the situation McCain faces. Yuval Levin then discusses Romneyphobia, stating "Judging by the Obama camp’s assorted efforts to prepare the ground for McCain’s VP choice on Friday, they seem to be terrified of Mitt Romney." Larry Kudlow says that he's hearing Tim Pawlenty and Kay Bailey Hutchison. Ramesh Ponnuru notes that KBH is moderately pro-choice. Finally, David Frum inexplicably attacks Romney as a VP choice, citing old lines of attack. Labels: nro We will see. Again, its a 50/50 split but the KBH/Liberman route is just too weird. Meg Whitman is promising but totally unvetted.
I believe this is from yesterday, but it's always refreshing to hear Mitt. Originally posted (along with many other newly found YouTubes) at NY for Mitt. Here are some direct quotes from people who were close to the Romney campaign:
"Its possible. Its very, very possible" "I put his chances at 55%... that's up from 35% two months ago" "The situation is very tight. I haven't heard anything new this week" Then there's this exchange on MSNBC: Labels: mitt romney, msnbc
Dear Friends of MyManMitt, When Mitt Romney took over the reins of the financially failing Salt Lake City Olympics he was invited to meet the entire Olympic committee. The meeting was scheduled for the only five star hotel in Utah with a lunch layout that would make Caesar jealous. Mitt canceled the venue and moved it to the Olympic offices they were already paying for. He ordered pizza and charged a dollar per slice. In the end, the Olympics made a $100 million profit. Given the chance, I have no doubt that Mitt Romney would foster this same frugal flare and apply it to the biggest behemoth, the United States Government. The weight of regulation, taxation, and energy policy folly would come into stark relief with Romney's insight and influence. Come Friday will Mitt Romney get the nod from John McCain and go on to become the next Vice President of the United States? We can't say for sure. But we'll be ready either way! Stay tuned as we come into the home stretch. Labels: mitt romney Tuesday, August 26, 2008
I guess the VP pick wasn't audacious enough.

"The primaries are over," Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said when asked for comment about Huckabee's statements. "Now, the task of all Republicans is on uniting the party to help elect John McCain, not on sowing division." Apparently not all feel the same. Labels: mike huckabee Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Bush and Mitt are both in the first 45 seconds or so of this video. It's fun to see President Bush visiting the American athletes. Originally posted at NY for Mitt. Thursday, August 7, 2008
First mentioned at Hugh's site and Hot Air.

The conservative blogosphere is abuzz with the #dontgo movement. But here's an angle we haven't pursued yet. If you look at this issue through a strictly "liberal" lens you get a huge club to bash over the collective heads of Obama, Hillary and Pelosi (arguably the new political trinity come November).
First the setup: Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have called for a tax on windfall profits for the oil industry. Hillary was the most brazen in her Febuary 2007 statement: "I want to take those profits". Last week Exxon/Mobile reported another record quarter coming out billions of dollars in the black. It's a good thing too. What's that? A good thing that E/M is raking in beaucoup profits off of gas guzzling people across the world? Why yes, yes it is a good thing. Looking at their last quarterly reports E/M paid out $571,000,ooo in pension and retirement $$$. In 2008 they have paid out $1,147,000,000 into the same bucket of retired employees. Again, $1.1 billion in 6 months. Last year they paid out nearly $2 billion in pension liabilities. E/M is one of the largest employers in the world. So, you do the math. If Obama, Pelosi, and Clinton "take the profits" of E/M who will pay these pensions to these former employees? Will hard working blue collar E/M people lose jobs? And will E/M raise their prices to meet the increased demands as profits tighten and pensions increase. Bottom line: YES. Obama/Hillary/Pelosi + Opposing Drilling + Taking Profits = Disaster for a good swath of working Americans and people across the world. Labels: #dontgo, Exxon/Mobile If you haven't been following this... start now! Bloggers and Twitters across the Internet are demanding that congress reconvene to vote on offshore drilling.
