Mitt Romney says it's still early for John McCain to be getting specific about his choice for a running mate. Mitt has, of course, been salivating for weeks over the possibility that the "honor" might be bestowed on him. Still he coyly told reporters:

There are probably 20, maybe even more—I can think of probably 20 names of people who I think would be excellent vice presidential nominees for our party.

One of those names is Jon Huntsman.

But MSNBC's FirstRead notes:

It is remarkable how much Mitt Romney is helping McCain. If you didn't believe it before, then believe it now, this guy wants the second slot... badly.

Wonkette takes a more cynical view:

Mitt Romney joined his "successful" nemesis John McCain on the campaign trail yesterday, and they raised some cash from Mormon Fat Cats and other mountain men in Denver and Salt Lake City. They even rode together on John McCain's stupid little plane. But Mitt wants to be McCain's vice president, and McCain wants to woo the "Romney Wing" of the Republican party — Space Elves — so they had to play it nice for the cameramen.

Rocky Mountain News' blog says it could happen:

The McCain and Romney camps loathed each other during the Republican primary season but vice-presidential amnesia for prior slights is well documented in each party. McCain tagged Romney as a flip-flopper but George H.W. Bush called Ronald Reagan's fiscal policies "voodoo economics" yet still wound up as his running mate in 1980.

One big difference, however — the Gipper represented California's more than 50 electoral votes. Mitt's Utah would bring five.
