Romney for VP gets two big votes!

My choice is Romney. I'm glad that two of my favorites pundits agree!

Fred Barnes: "McCain spoke to the Conservative Political Action Conference several hours after Romney's withdrawal speech to the same group yesterday. Then he and Romney talked by phone. For all we know, it could be the beginning of a great friendship."

Prof. VD Hanson: "How then to recapture the base? I don't think the attitude "they have nowhere else to go" or "we don't want to lose moderates by moving right" will work, especially if Obama is the nominee.

It would be better to get a base conservative on the ticket.

And when you look around at the necessary requisites: youth to balance McCain's age; strong base support; energetic; an experienced campaigner; not afraid to mix it up; geographical balance; economic experience and Wall Street fides; you inevitably keep coming back to Romney.

He would unite the party, not just by gaining the VP spot, but by acknowledgment that he would then be best positioned to assume the top spot after McCain.

It would reassure conservatives on immigration, tax cuts, etc. And Romney's last two weeks of speeches revealed a charismatic figure unlike that seen most of the campaign."

It's early but we need to start talking about a McCain-Romney ticket!
