They would look really cute standing next to each other, McCain and Max, and he's very handy. Max would also balance out McCain's evil with his cute little dog.

2. Crossover appeal via Mass. healthcare check.

3. Supposedly strong on economy check.

4. Helps in Michigan check check check check check.

5. Helps a bit in CO NV with a few mormons, check.

6. Picking some guy like pawlenty no one has ever heard of is just blah.

7. Romney still has tons of money, check.

Here's the McCain plan:

pick Romney and go for Michigan, OH, Penn.

You have been posting the same comment over and over again. What a freaking loser. I am assuming you work for the McCain campaign in some fashion and your soul job is to scour "liberal" blogs and disrupt them with your silly comments. get a life you sorry sack of shit.

At least not under that name. Even so, I only occasionally see Odrama.

I don't think it's a matter of encouragement.
