Romney for VP?

Today Mitt Romney was interviewed for the first time since withdrawing from the race, and when he was asked whether he would take the VP spot if it was offered to him he said the following, "“I think any Republican leader in this country would be honored to be asked to serve as the vice presidential nominee, myself included, Of course this is a nation which needs strong leadership. And if the nominee of our party asked you to serve with him, anybody would be honored to receive that call … and to accept it, of course.” He also said that he thinks that it would be easier for McCain to beat Obama, because people are starting to recognize that he is inexperienced and McCain will look great in contrast with him.

One of Romney's best lines of the interviews was when he was talking about national security. He said that listening to Obama and Clinton discuss their national security credentials, Romney said, is akin to listening to two chihuahuas argue about which is the biggest dog.
He then said that when it comes to national security, John McCain is the big dog, and they are the chihuahuas.

Romney said that there are no hard feelings between the campaigns, and some of Romney's top campaign officials have been in contact with McCain talking about fund raising. McCain will be in Boston tomorrow, but it is not known if Romney will be present at McCain's rally. We shall see.

Many people want Romney to be the VP, including many people within Bush's inner circle. I think Romney would be great and would help McCain to gain a lot more support. With Romney's grasp of the economy I think a lot of people will take another look, especially because of the current economic problems.

It is also interesting to note that after a few weeks of being down, Romney's website is back up and running. What that means we can only speculate, but if Romney is offered VP, we now know that he will accept it.
