Romney is clearly the right choice, from any angle of looking at it. In terms of helping McCain win (Michigan, Colorado, Nevada, etc.), in terms of helping him govern if elected, in terms of being an effective attack dog, getting out the message, and being good in the VP debates, and so forth.
I was not a big fan of Romney’s during the primaries. And if he were to run in 2012, either against Obama or to be McCain’s successor, I’ll probably support someone else.
But when it comes to the ideal VP selection, with the most upside and the least downfall, Romney is it. My money’s on McCain/Romney v. Obama/Biden.
