If Romney had any sense, he would choose Allen West or Alan Keyes as a VP running mate. At least, he needs a conservative.
Back in 2008, I did not see one single McCain sign or bumper sticker in East Texas until he chose Palin, then they just seem to pop up everywhere.
The problem is would West help Romney; or, would Romney marginalize West??? Look what McCain did to Palin’s “favorables.” Personally, I think Allen West would be wise to steer waaaaay clear of Mitt. West has too much potential to be wasted on a Romney ticket. Besides, we need West in Congress!
Keyes, though eloquent in his defense of Conservatism, is a non-starter in my estimation. He couldn't even win a Senate race in Illinois against the Bamster. Mitt won't pick Keyes in my estimation. Mitt would pick Bob McDonnell long before he would pick Keyes.
Mitt will probably pick someone like Marco Rubio in the hope of winning the Hispanic vote; which I very much doubt will happen.
