Romney chooses deputy, McCain talks about his experience (Alberta Times) The state's Republican U.S. Senator McCain provided some experience in running for six days to Romney, who is determined to win the party's primary: Pick someone you trust as his deputy. McCain ran for president four years ago and chose Palin as his deputy, but ultimately lost to Democratic candidate Obama. Palin, who was the governor of Alaska at the time, was not well-known and had limited experience on the national stage, but he successfully aroused the enthusiasm of the conservative base of the Republican Party, but was ultimately defeated by the enthusiasm of the Democratic Party. The ABC political commentary program "This Week" conducted an exclusive interview with McCain and asked him what advice he would give to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney after he was selected as his deputy. McCain said: "I think the deputy has to be someone he can trust. The most important thing is, if something happens to Romney, is this deputy capable of taking over his position?" "This was my main consideration in selecting my deputy in 2008, and I believe Romney's considerations will be the same as mine."
