5 reasons why BO should fear Mitt Romney as a McCain VP:

1. Romney is strong in the North-West and would kill off any chance BO has of flipping Lean-McCain states like Montana, North Dakota or Alaska - which Romney won by massive margins in the primaries.

2. He has stronger credentials on the economy than both McCain and Obama. He has a master's of business administration from Harvard University, ran the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, and had a successful career as a private-equity executive. A McCain-Romney ticket would thus be strong on the two most pressing election issues.

3. Romney could help level the fundraising playing field. A report from Politico.com stated that Romney could raise $50 million in 60 days due to his ties to the Mormon community and the business world.

4. He would help McCain in three key swing states - Nevada, Colorado and Michigan. He won all three in the primaries by signifcant margins. Also, he has personal ties to Michigan in particular - his father was Governor of Michigan during the 1960's.

5. Romney has already proved he can be a formidable surrogate (He has made TV appearances on the McCains behalf).

Quick message for the kooks: Yes, McCain probable hates Romney but he wants to be President and Romney gives him the best shot. Yes, Romney presided over job-layoffs whilst at Bain Capital - did that stop him winning Michigan?
