I would like to thank you for your excellent letter regarding reasons McCain should not choose Romney as VP. Too many of the Republican elite are trying to push Romney, as they did in the primaries. With all of the money Romney had to infiltrate the market and have voters get to know him, they chose not to for the reasons given in your article.

I also like that you did not write anything about Romney’s Mormon faith. As his defenders have tried to cry out that it was bigotry against his faith that made him lose, your article shows the many real reasons why voters chose not to cast their ballot for Romney. I for one did not care about the faith issue. I cared about having moral convictions and standing up for what is right. Romney seemed like the politician who will say anything just to get elected.

I hope McCain realizes that his straight talk express will be derailed in he chooses Romney. Not only will the democrats be able to use youtube videos citing all of Romney’s flip-flops, but they will also have at their disposal, youtube clips of Romney dissing McCain on the economy, immigration, and other domestic issues.

Thank you for your insights on Romney in your recent article. Very refreshing.

p>Personally, as a Republican, I was initially open to Romney but his multiple stances on abortion, and marriage, and opposition to 2nd amendment, and Romney Care makes him very liberal in my eyes. Chris Matthews said it best after Romney dropped out, “He should have come out as a moderate for the Republican primaries” to be more believable. br> — John br> Dallas, Georgia
