GOP sources close to the campaign say McCain has settled on Romney

According to this

Now I haven't blogged about the veepstakes all that much because there REALLY is so much speculation and media hype over this and that, that it's almost not worth mentioning, but one thing this does draw clear contrast on is that this kind of leak would never have happened in the Obama campaign.

Obama has pushed the narrative at every turn for the past two months when it has come to his choice of VP, running an airtight campaign with no leaks and forcing the media to pull it's hair out and go crazy over tea leaves the campaign has dangled in front of them like carrots.

This leak could be a ruse though from the McCain campaign, another trial balloon like last weeks Ridge affair, if so it would be a clever trick from the McCain campaign to see what people really think of Romney.
Hey why not, everyone else is, maybe I will do some speculation here:

Romney pro's:

-- One hell of a handsome man, he looks like he should be president.

-- Already a proven surrogate, can go toe to toe with anyone anytime.

-- Shores up McCain's disadvantages on economic issues and can hammer Obama on the economy with an air of expertise and authority that McCain lacks on this subject.

-- Gives McCain a real chance in Michigan (Ironically not the state he was governor of, but the state his father was the governor of.)

-- Already familiar with many Republican voters.

Romney con's:

-- Has been pro-choice before he was pro-life (as well as other known flip-flops that democrats will seek to destroy him on)

-- Does nothing to help McCain with evangelicals or suspicious conservatives.

-- Has high unfavorables with many Republican voters.

-- Doesn't garner enthusiasm.

-- A bit of a gaffer

-- They don't have good chemistry together.
