ObaMao and his minions in the media have done such a complete job of Balkanizing America that I don’t think we will ever see another presidential ticket, Democrat or Republican, with two white guys.
So Romney isn’t going to accept the VP slot? Interesting.
(Romney:) “Well that would preclude, of course, Rick Santorum...”

Title is misleading. Cavuto asked Romney; IF he would choose someone to his “right” politically. Romney never answers that question; he merely replies that IF he were to choose someone to his “right” that would eliminate Santorum.
Romney then makes a comparison of what he considers his own level of “conservatism” to Rick's and surmises that he is just as conservative (or more conservative) than Rick; therefore, Romney is proposing that he does NOT consider Rick to be to his “right.”
It's definitely a “dig” at Rick; but, it still doesn't preclude Rick from being Romney's possible VeeP selection because Romney never confirms that he would pick a VeeP he considers to the “right” of himself.
The first rule of lying is that you must be consistent. If he isn't a fiscal conservative, then he must at least be a social conservative, and yet he voted for PP implying he isn't a social conservative. This is the smart guy.
