This has been one of my guesses.
It is risky because P has no political experience. Seems to be a very good man. Certainly understands the military and foreign policy.

That would be as bad as Condi. Don’t want Patraeus.

I had always understood that he was a Dem.

Bad choice. Paul Ryan? Good choice!

For people hoping Petraeus at Dept of Defense, he cannot be SecDef until Sept 1st 2021 due to the NSA of 1947.

I really hope he picks one of the several republican governors that were elected in the last 4 years (I would even take Christie over a non-governor - Palwenty is excluded). Petraues, like all these big time generals, are political animals at heart and have instinctively learned how to please people.

The General needs to get that 1957 haircut updated.

That was my first thought. There are more friendly-fire (and not-so-friendly fire) casualties in the Pentagon than out in the field.

Petraeus could have some useful info on Obama after working for the DOD and now the CIA. That probably scares the crap out of Obama.

One could argue that this situation would akin to the situation that Gen Marshall was in, first being at State, then Defense.

On second thought, I think Obama might be scared because if Patraeus resigned then went to Romney campaign, he might be able to really spill the beans about how tough it was to get Obama to kill bin-Laden, and all kind of other in-competencies that Obama has done behind the scenes.

Not worried about political experience. You have to be the best at dealing with people and hardest worker to rise to the top of the military ranks. The thing that worries me is his philosophy, which we don’t know. Is he a neo-conservative or was he just following orders? Where does he stand on God, guns, and gays? We know nothing about him.
To: hope
Let’s see...Romney has no stance on the Chick Fil A situation...pissed off the Catholic League and social Conservatives....there goes one part of the voting block.
Now he is gonna go with General Liberal for VP?
He is handing the election to Obama with a bow on it.
Rubio is the only pick that makes sense. He is hispanic, a tea party member, and the future for how the GOP should be. Even Stevie Wonder can see that. Romney would lock up Florida and at least 50% of the Hispanic voting block in this country with that one pick.
Suicidal choice to go with anyone else but Rubio. The General brings nothing to this ticket but problems and more Bush era campaign commercials.

I am in favor of Rubio, but be prepared for the outcry from birthers.
Apparently, Mark Levin has no eligibility issues with Rubio (neither do I).
