General Petraeus for Vice President?
‘Romney Picks Petraeus for Veep!’ July 16, 2012
Herbert E. Meyer
Actually, no. Gov. Romney hasn’t named his choice for vice president. But were you electrified by that headline? Did it pull you out of your chair, pump up your heart rate and make you believe, for the first time, that Obama’s on the ropes and this election is ours to win? I thought so; me, too.
If the talking heads are right (and on rare occasions they are), Romney is playing this decision close to his chest. No one seems to know whose advice, if anyone’s, he’s seeking. But in the highly unlikely event that he calls me to chat about this, I’d tell him to go big, and to go for General David Petraeus. Here’s why:
Petraeus is, quite simply, the most highly-regarded American in public life. Even those who opposed our military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq admire and respect this general. He’s so obviously a brilliant, competent man. And he’s always come across as low-key and personally modest. By choosing Petraeus as his running-mate, Romney would send out a message to voters that he isn’t playing politics as usual; that he wants the most qualified people he can find for his administration — and that he’ll put the varsity team in place to confront a dangerous world.

Candidates Enjoy San Juan County
San Juan County was well represented as republican candidates and Washington State Republican Chair Kirby Wilbur visited Orcas and San Juan Islands. Atty General Rob McKenna, candidate for Washington Governor, Dan Matthews, candidate for US Congress and John Swapp, candidate for Washington Senate met with San Juan County leaders and residents. Business and Farmer’s Market visits gave the candidates knowledge of the difficulty in San Juan County’s present tourist based seasonal economy. All candidates discussed ways to streamline business practices and limit government interference. An evening cruise through the county’s beautiful islands demonstrated concerns for the environment while protecting property rights. “Island Life” was experienced and enjoyed. San Juan County Republicans will host candidates McKenna, Matthews and Swapp again at the Red Barn Event August 25th onSan JuanIsland. Candidates Senator Michael Baumgartner, Dr. Art Coday, Bill Finkbeiner, Bill Watkins and Kim Wyman are also invited to this year’s Red Barn Event.
