Who should be Romney's VP ?

aristotle · Apr 4, 2012

Who would be the strongest running mate for Mitt Romney? Should he go with a well-known name? A relatively unknown entity? A popular governor from a large state? Someone with a strong military background? Someone who can deliver a must-have swing state? Someone whose conservative bonafides makes up for Romney's more moderate views? A dazzling orator? A quiet workman who accomplishes things behind the scenes? Someone whose political star shines brighter than his own? Another popular female candidate? A Tea Party favorite?

I suspect Romney will not make a bold choice. Mitt likes to play it safe.

If he's smart, he'll choose Paul Ryan.

Rubio or West if he wants to win.

Someone with a strong military background with experience such as a governor of a large state or successful business man. And Unlike the present Occupier of the whitehouse--Not a Liar!

I'm not sure yet. I haven't been looking at it that close and won't either until Romney wins the nod.

If Biden was available I am sure he would pick him...

How about Bernie Sanders? Birds of a feather, you know...

Santa Claus. We'd have just as much luck getting a true conservative.

Is Santa a conservative? He works hard all year only to give it away. Philanthropic, yes. Conservative? I don't know. Then, he spends alot of time with elves. Very troubling.

If he had any balls he would choose Ike Turner. Ike has a well known name and he could deliver a swing state and appeal to some of Obama's followers. He might have some problem with women voters, what with Tina's accusations of abuse, but who in their right mind would say anything negative against a dead man. Yeah, Ike for V.P. I like Ike. Ike likes Ike. Now if Mitt would get a real name like Mike, well...

I am intrigued by the thought of Santa Claus on a national ticket. What do we really know about the guy? If he is to be properly vetted, let an investigation begin.

Just how old is Santa?
Can Santa produce a birth certificate? US citizenship?
Is Santa affiliated with an exotic religion outside the Judeo-Christian tradition?
What's this fetish with stockings all about?
Doesn't Santa seem to enjoy male companionship just a little too much?
What's the "naughty or nice" list all about? Very judgmental.
Why would Santa try to monopolize an entire industry? (toymaking).
Is Santa running a union shop?
Isn't Santa a bit of a hermit?
Santa literally spends Christmas higher than a kite.

IF Ryan, West, Rubio (insert your favorite true conservative) is smart. They will turn him down. Romney is going to go down in flames. He will all but endorse Obama just like McLame did.

I've said it before.. Obama will beat Romney like a rented rental car with the full insurance package.

Romney is just looking for someone like Palin to take the heat off him.

Just another missed opportunity for the republicans.... The party of "NO" action!!!

There would be no comparison between a Romney and McCain campaign. Anyone who thinks so does not pay attention to the type of campaign the Romney people run. Thats not saying he is any great canidate just vastly different campaign styles. It will be a close election as long as Obama is running regardless.

Your right, McCain was a kiss ***, and Romney is good at throwing mud. Sadly, he seems to throw 99.9% of it at republicans.

Mitt had a hard time pulling close to 50% of the vote when he out spends Newt and Rick 8 or 9 to 1.

He won't have the money advantage.

He is who Obama wants to run against

He is who the Media wants.

He is who the Gop-e wants.

He won't win.
