Mitt cozies up to McCain
Mitt Romney's relationship with GOP presidential candidate John McCain is getting tighter all the time. Mitt will use his considerable luster in Utah to help McCain shake down local donors today in SLC. Utah is virtually a wholly owned subsidiary of Romney Political Enterprises.And the Lancaster County Republican Committee in Pennsylvania confirmed that Mitt will serve as McCain's doppleganger at a fundraiser there. Says Dave Dumeyer, chairman of the Lancaster Republican Committee:
The fact we have gotten Mitt Romney indicates the importance the McCain campaign attaches to Lancaster County. If you can't get McCain, (Romney's) one of the better persons to come in and speak.
Gotta wonder if Mitt and McCain will take time to talk veep in SLC? Some pundits say the best Mitt can hope for is a cabinet position. Anthony Palmer of The 7-10, in fact, says Romney pretty much screwed, even in 2012:
Should McCain lose this year's election, there will be a new wave of conservative presidential aspirants looking to lead the party out of the wilderness. At least one of these aspirants will be the consensus candidate that unites fiscal, social, and foreign policy conservatives — and probably do so more effectively than Romney ever could.
Oh well, there's always U.S. senator from Utah.
Meanwhile, the college paper at University of Pennsylvania reports that senior Abby Huntsman says her dad "laughs off" questions about becoming McCain's VP pick."I think they have a very unique connection and are really there for support no matter what. It's a genuine friendship."

McCain in Low 50s in Utah. A recent Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City) poll found that only 54 percent of Utahns would vote for John McCain. That’s striking because the last time Democrats were within striking distance was when Lyndon Johnson won in 1964.
McCain Showed ‘Disdain’ For Utah, ‘Leading Anti-Utah Olympics Voice”. John McCain demonstrated his lack of concern for economic issues vital to Utahns and other Westerners when he threw obstacles in the path of Utahns, including thousands of fellow Republicans, trying to bring the world to Utah for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
