Fox: Romney as McCain's VP Might Cast Attention on McCain's Lack of Economic Knowledge

Fox's Chris Wallace asked Brit Hume to consider John McCain's potential running mates. Hume went through a list of choices, saying that McCain would go with safe choices, that he wasn't far enough behind to go for the "long ball," and that he certainly wouldn't pick anyone older than him (is there such a possibility?).

Wallace: And what do you think about what seems to be the front-runner at least in conventional wisdom, Mitt Romney?

Hume: Well, he'd be an attractive choice; he brings some experience, he brings his knowledge of the business world, but it might look like another way of McCain stating again he doesn't know much about the economy.
