VP, Obama, and Letter from Mitt

Well there isn't too much to write about today. McCain, when asked if he would talk about who would be his running mate brushed it off, but he did say that his VP wouldn't necessarily have to be a southerner. I have mixed feelings about if I want Mitt to be the VP. He would be great, but it might be like jumping on a sinking ship. Things don't look good for McCain and if Romney wants to run in 2012 it might be best to distance himself from McCain. At the same time he could help the ticket and give McCain a better chance at beating Barack or Hillary.

Also for all of you Romney fans who are thinking about voting for Obama, he called Mitt an "ineffective candidate who ran an ineffective Campaign" when asked what he thought about Romney's comments in his speech. I think that in the next few months Obama's true colors will start to show, and unfortunately those true colors are those of a flaming liberal. McCain is not the most conservative Republican, but he is much more conservative than Obama. McCain's conservative rating is an 82.3 out of 100 and Obama's is an 8. So while McCain's is lower than a lot of Republican it is about 10 times as high as Obama's. The above table shows where Obama ranks among other senators. He is the # 1 most liberal senator in the United States in 2007. We are gonna be in for a wild ride these next few months lets get ready!

Here is an email I got from the Romney Campaign today. Too bad America rejected the most qualified candidate that there has been in years.

Dear daniel,

If you have not heard by now, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president. This was not an easy decision for me, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support from the beginning to the point where we are today. We’ve come such a long way, and our hard work together will leave an imprint on the course of history.

As I addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) yesterday in Washington, D.C., I outlined what I know is the right course ahead for our nation – a course based on conservative principles such as individual responsibility, strong faith and values, economic strength with lower taxes and a national defense that will not retreat from the threat of evil extremism.

I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror. If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding surrender to terror.

This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and, you, our supporters, have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country.

You can be sure I will continue to stand for conservative principles. I will fight alongside you for all the things we believe in. And one of those things is that we cannot allow the next President of the United States to retreat in the face evil extremism.

It is the common task of each generation – and the burden of liberty – to preserve this country, expand its freedoms and renew its spirit so that its noble past is prologue to its glorious future.

Please stand proud today that you fought for a cause greater than yourself, and please continue to fight to preserve our ideals.

Thank you again so very much.

P.S. To read more about my vision for strengthening America’s future, please take a look at my speech from CPAC. Thank you.
