Bob Novak posted recently on Human Events that John McCain’s pick for VP could be disclosed this week during Barack Obama’s field trip.  Novak writes:

The name of McCain’s running mate has not been disclosed, but Mitt Romney has led the speculation recently.  

Nothing would solidify the conservative Republican base more than the selection of Mitt Romney for VP.

Romney would also be a great pick for Kentucky Republicans.  He headlined the RPK Lincoln Day Dinner in Louisville two years ago and drew wide-ranging support from around the state, paralleled only by the disappointing candidacy of Fred Thompson.  Secretary of State Trey Grayson gave Romney his official endorsement last fall - a story which broke, well, was predicted, here on BGRS.

There are several good picks McCain could make, including Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, and Florida Governor Charlie Crist.  However great these candidates may be, Romney’s economic credentials and preparedness to lead after a one-term McCain presidency are unrivaled.  (Look for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal or Sarah Palin to emerge as Romney’s VP pick.)

Kentuckians, and yes, I’m including Louisvillians, would be comforted by this man who has made a living out of taking failing, cumbersome businesses and transforming them into lean, profitable, job-creating machines.
