Something I have always wondered was, what if John McCain would have selected his rival for the nomination, Mitt Romney as his vice presidential nominee instead of Sarah Palin? Some say McCain would have never done this because of vitriol between them during the Republican Party Presidential Primaries. However, I saw some merit to McCain selecting Romney. For one, Romney would unify his supporters behind McCain and balance the Republican National Ticket geographically and ideologically. Romney's gaffes as VP nominee might be different than Sarah Palin (maybe an earlier 47% line?). How would Romney being the 2008 VP nominee help or hurt his ATL presidential campaign in 2012?
