Title: John McCain: I Didn’t Pick Romney Because

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) defended Mitt Romney from Democratic speculation that he passed on him as a 2008 running mate after reviewing his tax returns, saying Sarah Palin was simply the better choice at the time.

McCain called the tax claims “outrageous” and “disgraceful” in an interview with Politico Tuesday. He said he chose Palin “because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate.”

“Why did we not take Pawlenty, why did we not take any of the other 10 other people,” McCain said. “Why didn’t I? Because we had a better candidate, the same way with all the others. … Come on, why? That’s a stupid question.”

Former McCain adviser Steve Schmidt told the Huffington Post this week that the campaign was primarily concerned Romney’s vast wealth would make the ticket difficult to sell to average Americans, but didn’t believe Romney’s taxes were a liability.

exactly.  If schmidt says anything differnet, he's ostracized from the party. 

It's admitting to jaywalking to avoid getting charged with hit-and-run.

considering what a god awful job they did vetting Palin I doubt they even bothered to look at Romneys tax returns and since Romney had alreayd backed out of the race no one was even talking about Bain so I doubt it was even on their radar screen

  Schmidt didn’t believe Romney’s taxes were a liability, and that the choice of Palin was a good one.
