MITT ROMNEY, JOHN MCCAIN

If You're Gonna Pick Mitt, Best Do It Soon

A minor factoid to add to the buzz of Mitt-as-veep talk: One of the benefits of picking Romney was the possibility of his personal fortune being added to the resources of the ticket during the campaign. But upon becoming the nominee, McCain gets $84.1 million in public funds at the convention, and then has to abide by that spending limit. So if you're going to pick Mitt, it makes sense to do so sooner rather than later.

Thanks to reader Patrick for that thought.
