Default Romneys running mate?

Any thoughts?

I'd go with the Governor of Indiana. (partly selfish I hate him and his state stealing jobs from Illinois).

If I had to pick now I will go with Rubio. He is popular within the conservative base, could deliver Florida and will draw in a percentage of Hispanic voters, which will be crucial to this election.

For me it is a no-brainer. From a strategic stance, he would be my guy.

1- Rubio
2- Christie
3- Jindal

Kind of a three way tie and any would be a huge improvement over Jar Jar Biden(stolen with no appologies to redd).

Please don't insult Jar Jar by comparing him to Biden.

Snyder, the Michigan Governor. Only because he is now taxing pensions and I want him out of our state.

Doesn't really matter, whoever he picks will over shadow him because, well he's Willard...

Won't be Rubio.. He's not as popular with the Cubans and many think and he would be more popular than the Nominee ....

Won't be Rob Portman... he was Bush's budget director so I can't see Willard bringing Bush back into the election....

Won't be Christie because people don't like bullies and that's all Christie is. He talks tough ... he would also over Shadow Willard...

Tim Pawlenty?.. Hmm he failed miserably as a Governor and has the personality of a tree trunk... slightly better than Willard so once again the VP would over shadow.

I think Willard only has one real shot if he wants to pick a " Game Changer"... He needs someone to take most of the heat , someone who can take a beating and still keep up with the lies and the talking points....

Willard's VP pick is going to be..

Joe The Plumber.

And that there is the sad part. Willard won't look for the best man to be VP, he will look for the man who has the ethnicity to help him with the latino crowd.

When will this country wake up and start voting for the best man to do the job, and not if he is the right color.

Well they didn't pick the best man to run for the Republican side so how can they expect him to pick the best man for VP....
