Mitt Romney is declaring that he would jump at the chance to be vice president if Republican John McCain offered the No. 2 slot.

"I think any Republican leader in this country would be honored to be asked to serve as the vice presidential nominee, myself included," Romney said in an interview to be aired tonight on Fox News Channel.

In his first interview after leaving the GOP race, the former Massachusetts governor also called Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama "chihuahuas" and McCain the "big dog" on national security.

As a Massachusetts resident, I sincerely apologize for not having worked harder to get Shannon O'Brien elected to the governorship over Romney several years ago, which might have spared us all the pain of enduring this doofus on the public stage.

2. I'm gonna go ahead and throw my hat in the ring too

for the VP nod, if anybody will have me.

6. I have no desire to be VP, but

if asked I realize it would not be possible to say no.

So -- my hat's in the ring too.

3. The "Big Dog" On National Security?

Does that mean that he's going to put McInsane in a dog carrier and have it on the roof of his car for 8 hours? :evilgrin:

4. He's a disgrace to dept store mannequins everywhere

but if he is on the ticket as VP he stands a very good chance of bein our 45th president, given McLame's age, senility, general health etc.

8. Good point. McCain's ticker has statistical expiry date on it

But then again, the old man may outlive us all, Abe Vigoda style.

7. As Michael Dukakis has said many times, Mitt Romney is a fraud.
