AmSpec says Mac insiders down on Mitt
Article here.
While Mitt Romney's set of paid PR minions are busy pushing out Mitt for Vice President spin, McCain campaign insiders say that while it's true they have polled Romney on the bottom of the ticket, the data confirms that such a move would be a political disaster for the party.
"Mitt tanks the ticket," says a McCain insider. "We lose fiscal conservatives. We lose social conservatives. We lose Catholics. We lose evangelicals. All the groups were spending time and money on bringing into the camp would be lost. He just doesn't help us enough to do something like this, as much as Mitt might think we should. He doesn't even win us Massachusetts."

Somehow this sounds like a crock: "We lose fiscal conservatives. We lose social conservatives. We lose Catholics. We lose evangelicals. All the groups were spending time and money on bringing into the camp would be lost. He just doesn't help us enough to do something like this, as much as Mitt might think we should. He doesn't even win us Massachusetts."
First, you would never win MA no matter who you picked, so who cares. Second, I can't possibly take this person seriously if they are claiming that bringing Mitt on ticket would result in a LOSS of FiCons. That is absurd: is he honestly telling me that McCain had FiCons and Mitt would drive them away? Quite the opposite, I'd say. Not to mention all the groups he claims they have (SoCons, Catholics, evangelicals, etc.) they don't actually "have" at this point. That is why McCain is trailing.
So maybe camp McCain is down on Mitt, but if those are the reasons then they have no chance of winning anyway since they clearly don't understand politics.
