Poll: Who Would You Like To See As Sarah Palin’s Vice President?
A Time For Choosing ^ | 8/10/2011 | Gary Jackson

Posted on 08/10/2011 3:12:15 PM PDT by curth

Been a lot of talk lately about who would make the best Vice President to serve with President Sarah Palin.

Vice Presidential candidates are chosen for a number of reasons. Often they are chosen merely because they can deliver a state or a region that can help the presidential candidate win. There are better reasons though.

We fully expect Sarah Palin to have a 50 state strategy for victory and while someone from certain regions may be helpful more than others, we’d like to see a different criteria.

Anyone who knows Governor Palin’s record knows she and her team hit the ground running the day she was sworn in as Governor of Alaska, and worked 16 hour days tackling Alaska’s problems. We think President Sarah Palin will be looking for someone with strong leadership skills of their own. Someone she can give a portfolio of their own to and help her Revive, Renew, and Restore America.

That said, we have had some requests to do a poll on the question of who should be President Palin’s VP.

Below are some potential candidates for the job. We’ll let our readers decide if they fit the criteria THEY would like to see the Vice President have, as well as if the ones listed have the “right stuff,” as mentioned above.

If you chose “Other” please leave a comment letting us know who, and why you think they are the one.

The poll will close next Wednesday. We look forward to seeing the results.

Rubio, because in 8 years, the Hispanic Caucus will be about 1/4 or 1/3 of the US population. I prefer to be in front of the curve, not pander, but show a Conservative Hispanic who has the appeal and principles to run against the Liberal Moron Dem they put up in 2020, after Sarah’s two terms.

Other. Rand Paul, Rand Paul, Rand Paul. That's who I'd LIKE to see. Since that won't happen (he and his father have enough class not to run against each other), I'll settle for West.

I used to be a West fan- he lost a lot of my respect with the debt debacle.

So now it’s Rubio! and he just went out in front!

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann MN

Just because the thought of them standing side by side would make every leftist moron on the planet collapse in a heap.

LTC Allen West is in the top slot.

There is still some sanity in America. Imagine that.

Bolton!
Bolton, would make the islamofacists in the middle east squirm and sweat.
The socialists that run the U.N. would hate him.

I disagree. If Palin runs she should push the House to move Bachmann up to Speaker. In that job she can help Palin far more than as VP.

Bolton, Trump, Cheney, Rubio (if eligible).

Many good choices for Madame President.
