Mitt Romney will be McCain's pick for VP. Romney brings conservatives plus Romney could also bring Michigan and other midwest states.

You are kidding right?

How quickly you forget McCain ripping Romney over his stance on abortion rights. The conservatives will never approve of Romney.

It's a bit sad really...McCain seems like a nice guy, but in the wrong place. The party screwed him and the rest of it's party over by putting him in a place where he can't win.

Yeah, this is what Mitt stands for, fairy tales:
The beginning of Mormonism centers around a number of early charismatic experiences with the heavenly and the spiritual by Joseph Smith, Jr. and his associates. Many of these experiences, such as visions, visits from angels, prophecy, and the hearing of God's voice, are still common parts of charismatic Christianity.
Smith's first vision
Most Latter Day Saints trace the beginnings of Mormonism to Joseph Smith's First Vision, which he said he had in about 1820 in the woods near his home. Early accounts of this vision describe it as a vision of Jesus in which he was told his sins were forgiven. Later elaborations indicate Smith was told that all Christian denominations had become corrupt, and further indicate that Smith saw multiple heavenly beings, including both Jesus and God the Father.
Within the context of early 19th century America, the First Vision was nothing unique. There are records of others of the day who had similar visions in which they were told that all churches were corrupt; however, the sectarian clergy vigorously opposed such visions, as Smith reports they did of his own vision.
Early visits by angels, Urim and Thummim, and the Book of Mormon
Smith also described many other visions involving angels. Some of his earliest visitations involved a Native American prophet-warrior, who called himself Moroni. Smith said this angel appeared to him many times, and showed him where to find a set of buried Golden Plates containing ancient writings that the prophet-warrior had sealed in a stone box before his death, together with other artifacts. The writings on the Golden Plates, according to Smith, contained an account of the various nations that inhabited ancient America, and described how they were led to the New World by Jesus, but eventually lost their Christian faith through a series of wars and corruption.
After he said he received the Golden Plates, Smith began to dictate what he said was their translation to his wife Emma Hale Smith and various of his associates, most notably Martin Harris and, for most of the later translation, Oliver Cowdery. Smith said he translated the text through the gift and power of God and through the aid of the Urim and Thummim. Smith described the Urim and Thummim "two transparent stones set in the rim of a silver bow fastened to a breast plate" (History of the Church 4:537). Harris and others at times referred to Smith translating the plates using a seer stone.
Initially, during the book's translation, Smith did not allow others to see the Golden Plates. Eventually, however, Three Witnesses wrote that they were shown the plates in June 1829 by an angel.(See Book of Mormon, preface) Another Eight Witnesses wrote that Joseph Smith, Jr. showed them the plates himself (Id.) The resulting writings were published in March 1830 as the Book of Mormon.

This race is far from over...
Rarely, if ever, do VP choices determine the outcome of Presidential elections. This is going to come down to how both candidates will send their message to undecided voters like myself...
This is the first time since 1952 that a sitting President or Vice President is not the party nominee...
I'm looking forward to the debates...
