Last night in a post I created to give everyone the heads up about Sean Hannity's pending interview with John McCain (Thursday 03/13/08 at 9pm EST on Fox)I Mentioned that Sean was also going to interview Mitt Romney tonight. That interview was taped earlier today and will be shown on Hannity and Colmes.

Lastly, I stated,"Karl Rove said that he heard some buzz about what he calls the M&M ticket. That would be McCain/Mitt. It will be interesting to see if that is a topic for both interviews."

Apparently the topic did come up in the Romney interview and there are a few stories and opinions about it today.

The bottom line is that Mitt Romney said he WOULD accept the VP spot it asked by Mccain.

Romney says he'd take Veep, calls McCain "Big Dog"

Mitt Romney said in his first interview since departing the GOP race that he would accept the number two position on the ticket and that there is no lingering bitterness between him and John McCain.

“I think any Republican leader in this country would be honored to be asked to serve as the vice presidential nominee, myself included," Romney told FOX's Sean Hannity in a broadcast set to air tonight. "Of course this is a nation which needs strong leadership. And if the nominee of our party asked you to serve with him, anybody would be honored to receive that call … and to accept it, of course.”

Hotair.com has a little different take.

Here is an excerpt from Hannity&Colmes of what Sean and Karl were dicussing when Karl mentioned the M&M ticket:

HANNITY: We continue with our friend, FOX News contributor Karl Rove. All right Karl Rove, I never, ever doubt my good friend Bob Novak, and he's saying that you're suggesting that Mitt Romney would be a good VP choice for John McCain.

ROVE: Well, I talked with Bob recently, and we got to talking about the vice-presidential choice, and I shared with Bob, I've been traveling around the country recently — in fact, tonight I'm at the University of Pittsburgh where I'm a guest of the Pitt Program Council. And as I go around the country, I'm hearing a lot of conversation about VP, and I told Bob I was surprised by how often I was hearing the name Mitt Romney, and there seems to be some level of enthusiasm for the M & M ticket, "McCain & Mitt."
