Reply #4: I'm baffled by him as VP--the evangelicals will vote for the Repub.

Evangelicals/SoCons are NOT opposed to Romney and McCain. They were only opposed to Rudy, and he's pretty much out. And the Southern thing--the two Southerners in the race have either dropped out (Fred) or proved to have only narrow appeal in certain areas (Huck). McCain won in South Carolina, which proves that he had more appeal there than the Huckster--why would McCain or Romney need him at all? I agree with Steve though that a Romney/Hagel pairing makes sense--Mittens would need someone to grab Indies, and I think Hagel could do that for him.
