Drudge: Romney to pick Petraeus for VP?

[techs]

President Obama whispered to a top fundraiser this week that he believes GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney wants to name Gen. David Petraeus to the VP slot!

"The president wasn't joking," the insider explains to the DRUDGE REPORT.

A Petraeus drama has been quietly building behind the scenes.

Romney is believed to have secretly met with the four-star general in New Hampshire.

The pick could be a shrewd Romney choice. A cross-party pull. The Obama administration hailed Petraeus as one of history's greatest military strategists. Petraeus was unanimously confirmed as the Director of the CIA by the US Senate 94-0.

But Petraeus has categorically asserted that he has NO political ambitions. And Team Obama stands prepared to tie one of their own to "Bush wars." A Petraeus pick could been seen as simply shuffling the decks of power in DC.

"He's a serious man, for seriously dangerous times," notes a top Republican.

A DRUDGE POLL on Tuesday morning showed readers split on if Romney should give it a go.

And the calendar is running out of days.



Damn, almost forgot about this. I wonder if Romney knew anything about his affair?

It would be less confusing if you posted the date of the original article with your quotes.

I remember this from August when Romney was getting his ass kicked in the polls. It was right around the time of the Olympics that Romney went on his overseas gaffe tour when he started getting hammered in the media. Drudge shot this from out their ass to deflect some of the negative press

Where is Romney, anyway? (Asked this in another thread but got no answer) Surely there must be someone out there more shrewd in politics than me?

Good thing it did not happen. Could you image having someone of that character being on a major party ticket? What would have happened had Romney picked Patraeus, won and then have it revealed the guy was a sleaze. All the more reason to vote for democrats. Democrats would never have a sleaze ball running on the party ticket for VP.

Monica Lewinsky approves of this message

(I'd still vote for Clinton again though....)

Democrats would never allow someone like that in the party. You have only to look at our last VP nominee, John Edwards, to see that our candidates have the very finest moral character.
