Senator McCain, Do you Forgive Mitt?
Manchester, NH–
The Vice-Presidential buzz continues to follow John McCain today, but at a town hall it was a supporter who asked about the much talked about potential number two, Mitt Romney. The questioner said that he admired McCain’s ability to forgive and asked if he had forgiven his former rival turned surrogate.
McCain didn’t answer directly instead heaping praise on the former Massachusetts governor and his large family, “Mitt has been of tremendous help to my campaign. He’s been on television. He does a better job for me than he did for himself. I told him. He’s been great,” McCain said, “He and the entire Romney family has been wonderful. His wife Ann, as you know, is a woman of enormous courage and we are very grateful and I’m grateful. Our party is united now.”
When touring the Buxton Oil company in Epping, New Hampshire McCain laughed off a reporter’s question about whether this would be a good week to pick his running mate, “No, we, we have the same answer as we always had. We’ll, we’ll when we announce we’re ready to announce, we’ll announce.”
With Cindy McCain still in Rwanda with the One campaign some of yesterday’s frenzy among the press that a choice is imminent has subsided. Many believe he would not make such a huge announcement without his wife by his side.

What a stupid question. The real question is does Mitt forgive McCain for his shameful and disgraceful political hack job he did on Romney accusing Mitt of wanting to set a PUBLIC AND SPECIFIC timetable to get out of Iraq just days before the Florida Primary election. When in the same interview Romney said he would have vetoed such measures. Once again another example of the crooked talking express.
do you wonder what MCbush said to him after the Dole ,Romney exchange .
he said vp needs to Kiss @
get to it
He needs to forgive Mitt, if you consider this man graduated 894 out of 899 from the academy and then proceeded to crash 5 planes in his short career (In short, he shouldn’t have been flying at all). I guess it’s good to be the Admiral’s son.
Asking Romney if he forgave Mccain? This is such a silly question to ask.
Why? Mitt Romney and McCain are both grow ups and they fight when they needed to and they forgive and forget when they need to That is a true republican. They don’t use trick like some in Republicans to get voted. Straight talk is the interest of both Mccain and Romney.
Romney has a big heart. When he admitted that Mccain won then he left and support from his behind. What about Huckaberry…He only thinks about himself and target on Mccain even he knows he never win this game and he sticks to his wrong decision for a long time. He wanted to be Mccain’s Vice President. He is cunning in the way and he is weak at the end. He let go a lot of prisoners. He is too naive to protect this great nation as a leader.
On the other hand, Mitt Romney has everything so he sometimes becomes a target of jealousy leaders but his strength, courageous attribute, knowledge, wise decision and experience, he proves to be Mccain’s VP. He loves America and he will do anything to protect America and yet, he is so concerned about individual and has a warm heart. His fighting spirit will turn into a Big Supporter of Mccain because Romney knows what is the most important thing in his life.
Not having hatred or jealous against someone which Christ taught. He lives what he believes.
He acts what he believe…….
Mccain/Romney 08′
Mitt Romney - I support abortion, a little while later, i don’t support abortion. That is what you call flip flopping on a major issue. Who knows, maybe tomorrow he will support it again. Can’t trust this guy.
Mitt Who? O..I remember…they guy who spent the most out of his pockett than any other candidate ever (45 million)…and couldn’t even come in 2nd to a guy who spent 15 Million and left with 30,000 in the bank.
go mitt!!
yes, McCain will foegive Romney.,because McCain is a good man.
McCain thinks the party is united?What a joke!The only thing Mccain has going for him is fear-fear of an Obama presidency.If conservatives had not been split among several candidates,and had Fred Thompson actually acted like he wanted the job,McCain would never be where he is.There hasn’t been this kind of apathy and lack of enthusiasm for our nominee since Bob Dole-and look what happened to him!A better question-Will conservatives forgive Mccain? Never!
Conversely, Mitt has forgiven Mc Cain for his behavior during the primary. That is because he is a man who believes in forgiveness, as the good book would have it.
Mitt may not get the bigoted segment of the Evangelicals. However, there are many Bible-only believing intellegent people of faith, who can override that so-called stumbling block. Additionally, there are thousands upon thousands of independents who were favoring Hillary, that will back Mitt 100%. Obama still scares many fiscal and social conservatives in this great nation. Romney would add turbo prop fuel to Mc Cain’s bid.
If Ncaine picks Romney the U.S. is in a whole lot of troble. Deffintly with health care Romeys is costing the state of Mass. 3 million dollars and the state has to raise taxes and all the traffic ftnes to pay for his so called hralth care blll for every resident, and lf you do not get heslth care you are penailsed on your state taxs . So lets keep mitt out of vp ststus please ask any person in massachuette
Nickieboy: I understand we all make gramatical errors, but based up on all the errors in your last email shows us your intelligence level. First of all, Romney Health care plan was brilliant in its orginal form. It is the state legislatures who have picked it apart and are implementing their liberal ideas. When you have a liberal Govenor and a liberal majority of elected officials, they will warp everything. Nickie, I would suggest you stop with the generalities and present all the facts.
Well said American conservative. As to abortion (anna) read what Mitt really said about it; not what the news tells you. You would be surprised to see what his view really was, and still is.
But he never signed any bill that helped abortion proceed or move forward. Do the homework or you will be paired up with Nickieboy
Romny will be an excellent choice- level headed, intelligent, does not consider his office the money-making investment but considers it a privilege to serve. He knows that God has blessed him enough and he speaks from the heart. For evangelicals who question his faith, pray and trust God. If a person professes faith in Jesus Christ, he is as he says he is and only God will judge him, not anyone on earth. McCain will be a good VP choice.
If for some reason my last comment was not posted. Go to this link and really find out what Mitt Romney’s plan was to fix the health care problem and teach people personal responsiblitly.

Thanks David and great post as well. The sad thing is nobody really investigates the true facts such as his healthcare plan, abortion, etc…. Did he make some wrong decisions in the past? Definitely. However people can change and their records prove it. Just look at Ronald Reagan. He was a Democrat who was pro-choice etc.. Due to the influence of the great William Buckley, he began to see the light and for the most part governed as a conservative while in office. You never hear the same people ripping Romney for changing his positions, rip Reagan for changing his positons on issues such as abortion. Which goes to show me their false accusations really have nothing to do with Romney’s past positions.
Mutt would be a good choice for Baraks VP. Both change views/beliefs as the political wind blows. Mitt would bring money, followers (wives), and money. No original thoughts though.
Why should McCain forgive a draft dodger?
I will never understand why McCain is the Republican candidate. Romney seemed more the person for the job. I don’t think McCain treated Romney very well and is saying ridiculous things about Obama. He said Obama would rather lose the war and win the election. He can really come out with some very negative and extremely harsh statements about people. Lately he is coming across as old and tired and seems to repeat himself too many times on the same subject. All I hear is the surge. He doesn’t seem to have much to give the office of President of the United States. It is actually becoming almost sad. I think he should choose Romney for VP and forget anything that was said in the past.
David, Romney never signed a bill that pushed abortion forward because he has so little time in public office (3 years before he handed over the 4th year as governor to the lt. governor 300+ days). He has less experience than Obama. Plus, he was running for governor when he said he was pro-abortion rights and pro gay rights. He flipped on those at his first (and only) public service job as governor. Beware how he will flip next. And I know, you will say his business experience, like that of Perot’s, should count. Well, in business he outsourced thousands of jobs….is that what we want? And his 20 billion dollar bailout of Detroit? Hardly what I think defines an econmic conservative. But I am sure he will flip flop on that when he isn’t campaigning in MI.
