John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr
Oh, you meant before Bill Clinton?
Dan Quayle, Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon, Walter Mondale, hmmm.....
>> Outside of Chaney or GHW Bush - name two vp before Klinton.
Figure you’d go for broke on the spelling?
I completely agree. West would be an outstanding pick.
He’s my choice but I doubt he’ll be picked!
He’s my choice but I doubt he’ll be picked!
Rubio would solidify the hispanic vote. and for the most part is a solid conservative....
I would suggest Palin again, but you dont do veep twice once your McLame loses...she would be a great presidential candidate(how about a push at the convention folks) but her Veep time is over....
Where do you folks get the silly notion that the parents must be born here?
Nonsense!
EVERYone has been called his “sleeper pick”! I’m sure he’ll pick someone ever bit as boring as he is. Meh...
If you notice the guys everyone can name Johnson and Ford...they became presidents because of bad luck i.e. Kennedy and Nixon. But the idea of bringing someone into the VP slot who would be a good leader in 8 years is stupid. GHW Bush ran close to Regean and was an easy choice to carry on, but Rubio or any of the Young Guns still need some results.
Where do you get the idea that it is a notion that parents must be born here? No such limited notion is proposed by persons holding to the Constitution. The crux of eligibility for POTUSA is that parents have to be Citizens of the USA. The Founding Fathers realized there had to be some element of dedicated/established loyalty to the USA by the parents. This is not a silly requirement even though it it is not a guarantee against someone like Axelrod becoming eligible. Nonsense you say? I have a different value for the Constitutional history.
You seemed to have omitted the quote from the Constitution...
“The crux of eligibility for POTUSA is that parents have to be Citizens of the USA.”

A Romney/Romney from ten years ago ticket would be superlame
Palin made me happier to vote for McPain.
But in hindsight it shouldn’t have mattered. As VP she either would have been the loyal trooper or else been frozen out, either way irrelevant.
I don’t think anyone McPain could have picked would have changed my vote to 3P other than maybe LIARMAN, what a disaster that would have been.
But if the 2002 Romney was a veep choice, he'd also be unacceptable 
2002 Thune would be okay though, he was a fairly decent Congressman but turned out to be a dud in the Senate. 
Hey, as long as we're on this, can I bring back the 1998 Bob Barr forward in a time machine so he can beat the crap out of his 2012 counterpart? ("Look, just shut up, you ACLU whore!") I'd pay money to see that. ;-)
