He has the most qualifications as any of the others that are being vetted at this time.  He will do well in suring up McCain and his obvious lack of economic knowledge.  But will he be the best choice?

There are those that have already starting preparing for the chance that he will win the VEEPstakes.

If John McCain selects Mitt Romney as his running mate, Romney’s former colleagues in the private equity industry expect they are in for a bloody campaign that will paint them all as job-killing fat cats eager to stomp the little guy to make a quick buck.

Before he was elected governor of Massachusetts, Romney sat atop the private equity world where major investors routinely buy troubled companies, revamp them — often in part through layoffs — and then sell them off for huge profits. Romney founded the private equity firm Bain Capital, which he headed for 15 years, during which time he’s estimated to have made about $250 million.

Last year, congressional Democrats targeted the private equity sector for insults and tax increases. With a Romney vice presidential nod, those charges will go national.
