9/10/06: Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami speaks at the Institute of Politics, despite criticism from Gov. Mitt Romney and others...
...unify the party, because the other options were worse, but also because Bush would have been a credible president if anything happened to a 68-year-old Reagan. Amid all the talk about who McCain might pick as his partner today, it's wholly accurate to say Mitt Romney is unlikely to get that call from Sedona. There is no love between McCain and Romney; the two men don't care for each other, come from different wings of their party and have said some things that make Bush's "voodoo" remark seem harmless...
...wonder. Like Bush in 1980, Romney exited the race in an efficient way when he knew his run was done, has stayed out of sight through the late spring, held some fundraisers for McCain and even turned over his donor lists. And Romney has one other factor in his favor. When the standard bearer would be the oldest president in history (72 on inauguration day), the party needs someone the country can imagine as President nearby. On that score, McCain's choices, like Reagan's in 1980, are limited. Romney is an unlikely Number Two. But I'm prepared...
...attacking his inexperience. Not McCain's best issues, so by not losing, he wins. Both McCain and Obama are taking seriously the task of selecting a running mate, launching confidential inquiries headed by old Washington hands A.B. Culvahouse and Jim Johnson, respectively. McCain hosted three prospects (former rival Mitt Romney, Florida governor Charlie Crist and Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal) at his ranch and avoided unseemly leaks or accusations of pandering. Obama faces pressure to choose opponent Hillary Clinton, a tangle he'd rather avoid. Obama paused his nomination battle with Clinton to focus on swing states like New Mexico...
...people love to speculate, and McCain has given them more than enough to pique their interest. Among the guests who will be joining him over Memorial Day are former G.O.P. candidate Mitt Romney, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, and Florida governor Charlie Crist. Two other Senators, Connecticut's Joe Lieberman and South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, are also expected to show. Former Arkansas Gov. and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who will be on a cruise with his wife on their 34th wedding anniversary, will not be able to attend, along with Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, who has other obligations...
