Romney’s Case for VP
Tagged Under : Bobby Jindal, Charlie Crist, McCain's shortlist, McCain's VP, Mitt Romney, Romney, shortlist, the Mormon question
The shortlist for McCain’s VP includes Governors Charlie Crist of Florida, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and Mitt Romney. Romney can make the case that he’ll deliver key swing states such as Michigan and Nevada, while McCain is already doing well in Florida, and Louisiana is a certain Republican state.
Romney will again have to overcome the Mormon question, which becomes more difficult because of events surrounding fundalmentlist polygamists groups in Texas. However, for years Charlie Crist has been accused of being gay, and Bobby Jindal is relatively inexperienced.
Romney then has a good chance of securing the job. His economic experience may be just enough to put him over the edge.
