Romney roundup

Here are all the latest Mitt Romney stories from around the country:

The Utah Republican National Convention delegates, who were trying to change state law so they could cast their ballots for John McCain instead of Romney, got their wish. It's OK though: Mitt released them and approved of the change.

Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of the National Journal's influential The Hotline, sees Joe Biden's pick as increasing Romney's vice presidential chances as a "defensive pick." Noting his strength as a debater and attack dog, she also asks, "Who better to understand the details of the national economy than a successful businessman?"

Popular conservative blogger Hugh Hewitt agrees.

But do e-mails like this and a national line of attack centered on the VP criticizing the nominee really bode well for an imminent Romney selection?

And a new poll of likely voters in Nevada, where McCain is performing well, says that "Romney's presence on the ballot would make them more likely to vote for McCain was double the number who said they'd be less likely to vote for a McCain-Romney ticket, 26 percent to 13 percent."
