Romney would add some credibility to the McCain administration on the economy but has become very polarizing to many likely voters thanks to his supporters constant drumbeat of perceived religious bias. That reason alone is why I would like to see him pick from outside the candidates, it shields him from the vocal 2% that will complain because he didn‚Äôt pick ‚Äútheir guy‚Äù. Still it will be impossible to please everyone, I believe many are just like me this year, voting against rather than voting for anyone. “McCain should not pick anyone who would add to his negatives” - Carl Rove on the evening of Super Tuesday.
