Since Governor Romney officially suspended his campaign in February, his supporters have been hoping for an opportunity to use the "Romney for President" signs sometime in the future. Well, they just might see his name on the ballot this November, as McCain's running mate. However, if asked, should Romney really jump on the ticket? As a former "Romney for President" supporter, I initially embraced the idea. After all, it would keep him politically relevant. It would also help McCain strategically. McCain has admitted the economy is his weak spot and having Romney as Vice-President would definitely sure up the weakness. A McCain-Romney ticket would possibly put states like Michigan, Ohio, and Massachusetts into play for McCain. Yet, despite the possible benefit to McCain, what would the benefit be to Romney? If McCain were to get elected, Romney would have to wait eight years for a potential shot at the Whitehouse. If McCain loses in a landslide (a recent Newsweek poll had Obama up 17 points), then Romney will be forever linked to the embarrassment. Not to mention, McCain is on record saying that the Vice-President's only job is to check on the health of the President. As much as I wanted to see Romney get into the Whitehouse, I don't want to see him get in this way. McCain is the self-proclaimed "maverick" who prides himself in going against the grain (and the Conservative base.) If asked, Romney should let McCain ruin, err, run the 2008 race without him. As a supporter, I'll gladly wait an additional four years to see Romney in the Whitehouse.

    With the national gas price average well over $4.00 a gallon, I think it is an appropriate time to thank the Democrats.  I am so glad that they are more concerned about reducing every American household’s “carbon footprint” than actually reducing the gas prices.  They are more concerned with saving whales, polar bears, and beach shores than saving American families money.  Has anyone noticed that the Democrats and activists who speak about “saving the Earth” from the evil oil companies all drive large fancy cars, have enormous homes, and fly around personal/jumbo jets (notice the plurals)!  Yet they sit on their thrones made of gold, wearing the finest clothes, telling us, the American people who struggle to make ends meet, to reduce our  “carbon footprint.”  What’s the Democrat response?  It’s the oil companies fault.  Really?
    Remember when Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid promised us that they were going to change the course of this country after they won both houses in 2006? Well what have they done?  They have prevented us from drilling offshore for our own oil and increased the federal minimum wage (when more than half of the states in the Union already had a minimum wage higher than the new federal minimum wage.).  But I digress.  Because of the Democrats, we can all qualify for food stamps, welfare and unemployment much easier.  So, next time you are in line at the pump, and you see the $4.00 gas, remember, thank a Democrat, because tonight, a polar bear’s bed of ice is bigger, while our wallet’s are getting smaller.  Thank you Democrats.
