Romney Already Dropping VP Names

Some might call it presumptuous for a man who in the last poll of Republican voters only registered 3% to be dropping any VP name save his own. But not Mitt Romney.
In a campaign stop in South Carolina, Romney mentioned Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, SC Gov. Mark Sanford, and Sen. Jim DeMint (SC) by name; later, he told reporters that he wouldn’t fail to mention local names whenever asked. It’s curious, since most politicians defer that question until later, unless a specific name is brought up, when they normally deferentially deny anything specific. Mentioning local names might have been a way to connect with a lot of voters state wide, since this is the sort of thing that might get briefly mentioned on the local evening news.
Regarding his poll numbers, Romney told reporters, “The time I expect to be doing better is in the fall and winter and I’ve got plenty of time to get my numbers up. … I’m going to have as familiar a name as anybody else in the race.”
The only advice given to “Mormons” by President Hinkley is that they vote for good men with high standards no matter what party they represent. “Free agency” is prime standard for the church and “Mormons” in government positions have always given outstanding service.
The farmers highly respected Ezra taft Benson
as Secretary of Agricuilture under Eisenhower and he later became President of the “Mormon” (Church o f Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints) church. Romney should be elected because he IS a “Mormon and will be free to do the right thing. He is choosing men with the same principles for his staff. I feel he is a breath of fresh air government wise, and he is government wise. All Christians should get behind someone who will stand for high morals and Mitt Romney is that kind of person.
