McCain has never been adept at fundraising. All of which points to Romney as the best choice for VP to keep McCain competitive in November.

McCain thinks the way to raise funds is to rely on the same old GOP machine to get the rich and the business community to provide enormous contributions. Obama understands times are different, and he's tapping into the enormous grass-roots desire for change. Small contributions are fine as long as there are long as there are plenty of them - and there are. Add to that the inevitable rich Democrats (like the Hollywood crowd) who will contribute in droves once the nomination is secured and Obama's coffers will be spilling over while McCain is still trying to figure out just what went wrong.

Republicans know that Dubya messed up royally and want a Democrat to blame a recession on to be in office when the house of cards fall. I don't like that hopefully it is not true, McCain called his wife the 'C' word. What a shame, she does not look like a 'C' to me, nor any woman for that matter who would marry a jerk like him!

I bet promising another trillion dollar war against the Middle East will drum up money and support from all the republicans. It worked for the Bush braintrust. But in all reality, people are fed up with saber rattling, economy ruining fools and Obama will reap all the benefit come next fall.
