Sounds like a good decision. Not only a good political decision, but a good business decsion, too. I think Romney sees the writing on the wall.
If it's not the writing on the wall, it's writing million dollar checks on a regular basis. I think he's personally written 40 or so million dollar checks that's cleared his bank.
Romney should buy a multimillion dollar home in each state, and that will be his winning strategy in 2012, or 2016. He carried Utah, Michigan and Massachusetts--states in which he has called home.
He has four years, or eight years, to call the other remaining 47 states home. Oh, there's Puerto Rico. That's another multimillion dollar home. I think the Marshall Islands are an American Territory, so there goes a couple million.
I think if Romney's finances are a bit tight now, he can disconnect the phone. The chances of him receiving a telephone call from John McCain to be his running mate are about the same as Romney's chances were of being the Republican nomminee. Zero! Zero! Zero! Zero!
However, Mike Huckabee should make sure he's paying his phone bill. Mike, expect a telephone phone call from John McCain in the near future. I don't think you and John McCain will be talking about the weather. It's more like: Whether you'll be my running mate.
