Assuming Romney is the projected nominee, he will need a VP that will please the GOP,Tea Party & Conservative Base. Most of us want Marco Rubio, but he still hasn't shown any serious interest. That leaves McDonnell&Ryan next in line. Either one will give Romney a boost against Obama. Virgina&North Carolina being crucial would be the reason to choose McDonnell. Wisconsin & the rust belt would be the factor with Paul Ryan. It's a tough decision. There are a few others, but if there was a poll, Ryan would probably be the choice if Rubio bowed out.
Romney will pick Obama as his running mate, They both win that way.
Vanity: None! (Are you a romney “floater”)? Floating ideas: because you can take one back to the ‘candidate’: Drop out.
Marco Rubio is inexperienced and unqualified to be VP. But Romney would probably choose him in a cynical attempt to pander to Hispanics. It wouldn’t work, though. Because to Hispanics outside the Cuban community, Rubio is just another rich white guy.
No ticket with Romney on it is acceptable. A 1st Romney term might as well be a 2nd Obama term.
Phrases like that are what the establishment fears.
There is only one party and they are only fighting over last of the carcass they have begun to eat.
There may be less meat than anyone realizes.
Your right about the GOP, they might be at their end.
Apparently we are now strangers in our own land.
Can the scale be tipped back?
It's been going on over a long time.
Now if we organize to fight for freedom there will be jail.
A brokered convention seems like our last hope.
It may get ugly.
Nothing- and I do mean absolutely Nothing can ever make me vote for Romney.
If ever a candidate has run a campaign in reverse (meaning every conceivable reason NOT to vote for them), it is him.
Is he as bad as 0? I just don’t know. *I* don’t trust him At All.
Can we afford to find out? No.
My humble (or not) opinion is that if there isn’t some way to have Newt as the nominee (preferably with Alan West, Paul Ryan, Rick Perry or Herman Cain as VP/ Santorum last), this country is in for a very hard time.
(I am new. :-) And probably lost. Can someone point me to the Newt ping list, please? And what is a ping anyway? I’ve been lurking for months, but haven’t managed to figure that out.)
Governor Sarah Palin! Or, actually, what she signifies.
