Mitt Romney favori de McCain selon l'équipe du candidat Républicain !
Mitt Romney (à droite) et John McCain (à gauche)
L'équipe de John McCain aurait informé politico.com que le candidat Républicain aurait aujourd'hui Mitt Romney comme son favori pour son candidat à la Vice-Présidence.
Affaire à suivre, mais cette nouvelle est d'importance pour plusieurs raisons :
Depuis la Primaire Républicaine, Mitt Romney devient l'homme fort du parti Républicain. Voir même, il en devient le principal leader. Son problème est que John McCain reste le leader naturel du parti en tant que désigné. Etre sur le ticket lui permettra de contrebalancer cela.
Si John McCain l'emporte, Mitt Romney de manière quasiment sûr le candidat en 2012. Si John McCain perd en novembre, cela n'affaiblit pas particulièrement Mitt Romney.
Notre candidat a donc tout à gagner à être sûr le ticket pour la présidentielle. Cette information est donc des plus importantes !

Mitt Romney : Oui ! Mike Huckabee : Non !
Le célèbre blog Right Wing News a réalisé une étude sur plus de 230 bloggeurs de droite et du centre aux Etats-Unis. Il en ressort que les modérés comme les plus conservateurs soutiennent Mitt Romney pour sa candidature à la Vice-Présidence, et refusent le socialiste économique et d'extrême-droite sur les valeurs Mike Huckabee.
From: Right Wing News
Right Wing News emailed more than 230 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a ranked list of 1-5 people they'd most like to see as John McCain's Vice-President and the 1-5 people they'd least like to see as John McCain's Vice-President. Representatives from the following 45 blogs responded...

All participating bloggers were provided with the following list of potential candidates although they were also allowed to select nominees who were not listed:

As I mentioned earlier, the bloggers were allowed to make 1-5 ranked selections. Those selections were weighted as follows...
1) Worth 2 points
2 or 3) Worth 1.5 points
4 or 5) Worth 1 point
So, for example, a candidate who received two first place votes (4 points), a third place vote (1.5 points), & and three fifth place votes (3 points), would receive a grand total of 8.5 points.
Also, keep in mind that the scoring cut-off to be included in the lists below was 5 points. If a candidate received less than that, his/her score was not listed. Also keep in mind that not everyone put in 5 selections for each area.
Here are the selections that were made with the total number of points each candidate tallied following his/her name in parentheses...
