He brings with him the pride of the Mormon church, including millions of job seekers from his church. 
Given Mitt's lack of success with voters, maybe he's hoping McCain will die during his first term so he can fulfill his overweening ambitions by inheriting the office. The man's a vulture.
Craig, You Mormon hatters all make me sick. If that was the case then his whole campaign team that he employed would have been all Mormon. Just say it like it is - You don't like Romney because you are a bigot to anybody that doesn't look, act, or have the same religious beliefs as you you attach. Shame on you.
Dignbat - 4 million voters is a lack of success?
Oh Please, If any of the candidates had a resume that was half Romney's then maybe just maybe some positive results would come from Washington. Why is it that successful people are looked down upon for potential leaders. It's like if you listen to the comments above you would think you have to have a L stamped in your forhead to be acceptable. I look at Romney and all I see is a success story, family, business, olympics, governor, oh I forgot his is Mormon, your right, can,t support that. Oh, Please
Billy Bob, I have the same regard for Mormons as I do for people who claim to have seen a 'UFO' or to have encountered a Sasquatch.
Romney has more class, more intelligence, and more experience than the idiots who enjoy attacking him and his religion. To bad those of you who have nothing to do with your life than respond to blogs with stupid comments don't make a real contribution to society and the problems we face in the word around us.
America faces massive crises. Most domestic. 1.Energy crises, oil heading towards 200 a barrel oil with the collapsing dollar. 2.The fiscal mess, with Bush adding 3 trillion onto the national deficit and another 12 trillion in unfunded mandates. 3.Loss of American competitiveness. A trillion dollar a year outflow of America's saved wealth to other countries, mainly oil exporters, Japan, and China. 4. Mass illegal immigration. 5. Loss of good American jobs, gutting of US industry, shrinking middle class, all wages but those in security , law, or Ruling Elite positions coming under "race to the bottom" labor challenges. 6. Health care crises. Almost 1/6th of working Americans lack health insurance. 1/5 of Americans lack a dental plan. Medical costs exploding - now 50% higher than in other advanced nations that have universal coverage and longer life spans. 7. Our crisis of faith and family values. 8. Our educational system produces the lowest ranking students of advanced nations, not surprising because other nations have 220 day school years, while our teachers top out the pay scale in students taught/per day. And higher ed costs have exploded, making claims of "retraining US workers to great careers", allowing working and middle class students access to great educations even more difficult. 9. Near-economic collapse in several northern industrial states and cities. Given the VP picks, which person would be able to help McCain adress them with energy and savvy? Fred Thompson after a nap? Pastor Huckleberry? Has Pawlenty ever BEN in a crisis or fixed anything, selected teams best able to address problems? Is it nuts to ignore things that can eventually put America in the "former great nation" status of France or Britain so we can continue being misdirected into ignoring those things - because ONLY IRAQ MATTERS??? Romney is an excellent choice. Obama's VP choice doesn't matter that much because his backers believe Obama the Messiah can fix these problems with an inspiring, soaring speech on each.
Sure, Romney's a good choice for VP if you're a plutocrat and want economic solutions that will favor investment bankers. He's totally out of touch with anybody who isn't a multi-millionaire and completely ignorant of the problems they face. In fact, he's part of the problem when it comes to exporting American jobs and destroying our industrial base in pursuit of short term profits. I don't begrudge Romney his success. And I sure as hell don't care that he's a Mormon. I just find him to be a soulless suit who'd do anything, say anything, and then sell his mother to be president. Actually, I wouldn't trust Romney to do anything about the set of problems Chris Ford lists, as he and his ilk are large part of the motivating force behind those problems.
I'm surprise to read all of these Romney bashings. If you don't want to vote for him, that's fine. But to bash on his character without every reading up on his accomplishment is ridiculous! There are a lot ignorant people who are responding to this article!

How can anyone who voted for Bill Clinton twice claim that charcter matters and then attack Romney's? I think we all know that Romney and slick willie will be going to two different places when they die and I sure would rather be going where Mittt is headed.
Dingbat: You were well named...

As someone who desperately wants either Democrat to win in November, this news leaves with one overriding sentiment:
Oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please.
