I think mitt could win Pa. Tom Ridge?
Actually, I like this idea: take a RINO like Lindsey Graham out of the Senate where we can replace him with a conservative. Move him to a spot where he is impotent and insignificant. Works for me.
“A person primarily known because of his affiliation with “Mr. Jefferson’s University,” Larry Sabato should be deeply concerned with preserving the principles and ideas of Jefferson in the Year 2012 and making recommendations that would enhance that possibility.
Surely, he knows that the men who articulated the essential ideas of freedom in 1776 were not bland and unoffensive. They were outspoken advocates against tyranny in all its forms and on behalf of Creator-endowed individual liberty at all costs.
Since 1776, America never has needed such men more than now.”
Well said.
Mitt Romney with his VP selection.
I hear about Romney selecting Portman from Ohio. I'm from about 40 miles north of where he was representative and I couldn't pick him out from a crowd. He's about as vanilla as you'll find - and he won't add a single vote for Romney.
wasilla vanilla palin or forget about it.
I don’t usually agree much with Sabato, but he’s right here, even if for the wrong reasons.
Vice-Presidents rarely become presidents, so why waste a good conservative by sending him/her to a dead-end, powerless job?
I would pick a candidate that could bring in a strategic state if possible.
Save all our top conservatives for cabinet positions, for gubernatorial and congressional positions and for a possible future presidential run. Don’t waste one as a VP.
You think Romney will be so successful that his VP will accede to the presidency? Not going to happen. Only Reagan did that in the modern era, and Bush only lasted one term.
Now, if there is a conservative who can also deliver a battleground state, I’ll change my tune. Got one?
How about Joe Biden? He seems to be working harder for Mitt, than Mitt.
You notice out of all these posts, only one poster can even name a possible specific conservative candidate, which is Tom Ridge. A good man, I don’t know if he’s a good pick.
The rest of the posters are just flinging poo. They demand a true conservative, so which one, flingers?

I wonder if Luis Fortuno is eligible. Now *that* would be interesting, and he has a great record.
