to assure the good health of President Palin.

Been a lot of talk lately about who would make the best Vice President to serve with President Sarah Palin.
Vice Presidential candidates are chosen for a number of reasons. Often they are chosen merely because they can deliver a state or a region that can help the presidential candidate win. There are better reasons though.
We fully expect Sarah Palin to have a 50 state strategy for victory and while someone from certain regions may be helpful more than others, we’d like to see a different criteria.
Anyone who knows Governor Palin’s record knows she and her team hit the ground running the day she was sworn in as Governor of Alaska, and worked 16 hour days tackling Alaska’s problems. We think President Sarah Palin will be looking for someone with strong leadership skills of their own. Someone she can give a portfolio of their own to and help her Revive, Renew, and Restore America.
That said, we have had some requests to do a poll on the question of who should be President Palin’s VP.
Below are some potential candidates for the job. We’ll let our readers decide if they fit the criteria THEY would like to see the Vice President have, as well as if the ones listed have the “right stuff,” as mentioned above.
If you chose “Other” please leave a comment letting us know who, and why you think they are the one.
The poll will close next Wednesday. We look forward to seeing the results.
Who Would You Like To See As Sarah Palin's Vice President
Congressman LTC Allen West FL 36.51% (23 votes)
Senator Marco Rubio FL 34.92% (22 votes)
Congressman Paul Ryan WI 9.52% (6 votes)
Other [leave comment] 7.94% (5 votes)
Governor Bob McDonnell VA 4.76% (3 votes)
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann MN 1.59% (1 votes)
Governor Bobby Jindal LA 1.59% (1 votes)
Governor John Kasich OH 1.59% (1 votes)
Governor Rick Perry TX 1.59% (1 votes)
Governor Scott Walker WI 0% (0 votes)
Is Rubio eligible to be President? IIRC, neither of his parents were citizens when he was born.
“I disagree. If Palin runs she should push the House to move Bachmann up to Speaker. In that job she can help Palin far more than as VP.”
Excellent Point, She will not cry and vote like a RINO.
One of the mistakes the Republicans make is that we always try to pick our best and brightest to be in a position that takes them out of the game when they should be fully engaged, and making the most of their talents. Do as the dims do and find some non rock the boat guy or gal that will be reliable but not a star. Keep the stars on the field.
Rubio, Bachmann, T-Paw, Perry, Giuliani to name a few.
Former PA Governor Tom Ridge.
Curtis LeMay...but he’s dead.
But someone who would balance the ticket. Someone Moderate and calm.
Me, I would pick Chuck Norris.
Of course, I have been wrong before...
AFAIK, Jindal and Rubio are not NBCs.
For Sarah’s V.P.: Bachmann, or Bolton.
LTC. Allen West because he makes a decision, stands by it, and goes forward from it.
I know he made a lot of people upset with his position on the debt ceiling, but I read his explanation and accept it, even if I don’t totally agree with it.
The man has serious stones. He’s a battle-tested warrior who has already proved he’s willing to face down the Islamic hordes without flinching.
Rubio because he is young and can take over after Palin. And, due to the Hispanic vote factor.
My very close second choice is West.
It’s up to her.
You need two things in a veep. 1. Someone who can take over if (God forbid) it becomes necessary. 2. Someone who can draw enough votes in a swing state or states to ensure a victory for the ticket.
The second is, unless tragedy strikes, more important than the first.
Ridge is pro-abortion. He’s so pro-abortion that the moment he became Gov. of Pa. inspections of abortion clinics STOPPED. It was while he was Gov. that that guy in Philly was murdering born babies, doing abortions in filthy rooms with blood-caked floors, etc.
AFAIK you are correct.
This is my choice. Whoever Palin thinks is right.
John Bolton.
OK explain West’s rush to join the Black Caucus,His vote for Pigford the Nay On defunding Obama care and this latest debacle/Vote on the 2.4 Trillion gift to Zippy.
He has lost his backing down here in District 22 and has people very upset about being snookered!

Bolton has brass ones. At the very least, he would make a stellar Sec. of State.
Someone strong enough to invoke conservative values.
