For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Will it be Mitt?

The most obvious assets that Romney would bring to the Republican ticket include his economic expertise, fundraising prowess and potential to give McCain a boost in more than one battleground state. But a less talked about plus side to a Romney vice presidential candidacy is that despite his perpetually sunny demeanor, the former Massachusetts governor is not afraid to unleash razor-sharp political attacks against the opposition.

What say you NewsBusters? Would Mitt be the perfect candidate to do what McCain seems uncomfortable with, namely, tear into the opponent?
