It's hopeless. McCain is at the top of the ticket. He's too old and too Bush III. Hickabee is too much of a hick and too Bush III. If the Repubs wanted to win they should have picked Romney. He's attractive, seems to be a clean-living family man (but who really knows, ha! ha!), and has successfully run some big things (states, Olympics). When the Repubs didn't pick him I thought, they wouldn't know a good candidate if he bit them in
the butt.

"There are a lot of rednecks in this country, especially in the South," Freese said, adding that despite his slick Massachusetts buttoned-down look, Romney fits in well with rednecks. "A lot of rednecks are family people," Freese said. "Mitt has five sons. A lot of country people can relate to that." Freese said he respects McCain, who like him is a veteran, but "he's too liberal."
Romney is highlighting his down-home qualities for voters who might need more persuading than Freese did. He opened his speech here today by telling a story about his interaction with a supporter in Memphis, Tenn., who made him a T-shirt with the logo "Yankee Governor, Southern Values."
"As a guy from Massachusetts I'm sure people were a little concerned," Romney said, recalling his meeting with the Memphis voter. "I said, 'Tell me about Southern values,' and he said, 'Well, Southern values mean you believe in hard work and you love opportunity, you love our country, you're a person who also believes in family. You love God.' I said, 'Well, I've got Southern values then.'"
