Political bits
The rumor from Politico is that Romney has the inside track for McCain's VP. Not because of his politics, or his ability to work with McCain, but because of his ability to raise money quickly. (With McCain being the oldest man ever to run for president, is that how we pick who is "a heartbeat away...."?)
(Politico) Obama and Bill Clinton finally talk.
Related: The DLC holds its big meeting just a block away from the Obama campaign office in Chicago, and Obama still won't attend.
And, Rasmussen has McCain leading +9 in his home state of Arizona. He was up +20 in April. (Note the gender gap.)

The tip-off that Politico is just a “promote Romney” piece is that it mentions EVERY NAME in the next two tiers of Veep prospects EXCEPT SARAH PALIN!!! — even names far more unlikely than Palin (since Romney camp knows Palin is the ONLY ONE who tops — I’ll say tops by far — Romney as McCain’s best pick).
Bottom line, Romney and Politico fear Palin most — as do the Dems and the MSM. (By the way, the Dems and MSM do not fear Romney the most — which says a lot.)

All the media buzz which will surround Palin -- essentially free to McCain -- will be worth millions and millions of dollars of PR (more money than Romney could provide anyway).
It appears that it’s all down to Palin or Romney, and team Romney fears Palin now has the best shot, so Romney camp is mounting a blogosphere-wide assault via Politico.

AOL, prime on-line pro-Obama/pro-Dem player, is now carrying the Politico piece promoting Romney buzz.
Clearly AOL wants McCain and the GOP to lose the general elction — hence they gladly promote Romney (no mention of Palin).
Also, CNN had Romney — kind of out of the blue — attacking Obama. Again, CNN, wanting McCain and the GOP to lose, gladly promotes Romney (to attempt to avert the Palin threat).

I assume you have some association or emotional investment in advancing getting Ms. Palin.
