--SOT --
I've been through this before. In 2008 I was on some speculator's list as related to John McCain's selection for VP. It's an honor to be considered. It certainly would be an honor for anybody to be considered, but it also has some deja vu qualities since I've been through it before. The main issue here isn't the VP process or who's going to be VP, the main issue is what are we going to do to get this economy moving again and find jobs for people and the VP thing will reveal itself soon enough. Governor Romney is going to have great people to pick from.
