Why McCain won't choose Romney (a pic worth 1000 words)

[Lex]

Umm, can McCain's ego stand how this will look to the world?

'The Presidential candidate and his grandpa" my SO calls it.

1. The oddest of the odd couple!

2. The contrast visually is just too startling

(And McCain actually looks pretty good in this photo.) It would just magnify the difference between virile and strapping/old and feeble.

5. And you know, I don't even mind that McCain is old

I mean, his older age isn't the problem, it's his policies and his general nastiness (called his wife a c*nt, in public at that!).

But anyway, Romney, just by standing there, will constantly highlight the age thing, no doubt.

3. God I hope he picks Mittens...

4. Body language betrays their mutual disdain for each other

6. McCain looks like he disdains everyone.

He really is a cranky dude I think.

8. He yells at himself to get off his own lawn(s).

Self-disdain.

10. That's because he doesn't know he owns it. n/t

7. I agree, and two other things

the braindead media was going on since yesterday about how BO has to figure out how to operate with Biden. I swear, if I have seen 10 pictures of those two prior to the pick, they look DARN genuinely happy with one another. You can see that they like each other, but the freakin pundits.

I agree that there is a mutual disdain between McCain and Romney. I think this is moment for McCain, he has to set his ego aside and pick Romney to have his best shot.

11. He'll have to live in his shoe lifts.

Oh, wait, he probably is wearing them...
