I think Romney looks good on the surface, but he's another Rich Guy, and his Mormonism would not play well in the Bible Belt, where I expect McCain to have the greatest success.
Another guy on the short list, Tim Pawlenty, is an Evangelical Christian, which is right up their alley. But I think Biden would cheerfully eat him for lunch in a debate.
Colin Powell is 71 or so, which puts him out of the picture.
Then there's Lieberman, but I doubt that his Judaism would play much better than Romney's Mormonism. He's also pro-choice, while McCain has recently reiterated his pro-life stance, even in cases of rape.
It's really not looking good on that side of the aisle, IMO.
