Mitt Romney is best suited to run as John McCain’s vice president in the general election, former presidential strategist Karl Rove said Sunday.
“Romney is already vetted by the media, strong executive experience both in business and in government, has an interesting story to tell with saving the U.S. Olympics, and also helps McCain deal with the economy, because he can speak with the economy with a fluency that McCain doesn’t have,” Rove told “Fox News Sunday.”

This just in (Muncie Free Press) from Indiana's leading political analyst and commentator, Brian Howey:
"My Prediction: A month ago, I would have been comfortable predicting a McCain-Romney ticket. But if McCain wants to attract Hillary Clinton voters, he might look at young, attractive Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who is creating considerable buzz these days. If I had to bet: McCain-Palin. At this point, I think the gender opportunity trumps geography."
Gov. Romney could compensate for McCain's lack of economic expertise, has a track record as a turnaround artist, and could influence the vote in key states such as Michigan. Whether this is enough to make him acceptable to McCain is anyone's guess.
