Via (believe it or not) Co-Ed Magazine comes a report that John McCain has chosen former Massachussets Governor Mitt Romney as his running mate for the Presidential Election.
I know it sounds crazy that a college student reporter at Co-Ed Magazine would be first on the scene with this massive story, and the reporter (Hunter College’s “Andrew”) acknowledges in a bit of understatement that “a healthy level of skepticism is expected.” In any event, it’s making its way around the blogs this lazy afternoon,so I figured I’d bite.
Sen. John McCain will choose businessman and former Massachusetts Governor, Mitt Romney as Vice President, in his bid for the White House this November, a source closely connected with the McCain campaign, who asked to remain anonymous, told us earlier this afternoon.
Though others were close in the running, the choice ultimately came down to the money–not the man. According to our source, the campaign narrowed their Vice Presidential options to Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, the two most successful opponents of McCain in the bid for the Republican nomination. But despite Huckabee’s sway with far Right conservatives and evangelical voters, Romney packs the deepest fund-raising pockets.
That Huckabee part makes it seem a little doubtful to me. Unless the McCain crew really is off the deep end, there’s no way Huckabee was even in the top 50.
Anyway, the report was found via Ace of Spades HQ through a link to Stop the ACLU.
