I don’t see that happening. He couldn’t even beat an underfunded McCain in 2008. Despite my distaste for Romney in 2012 for the top of the ticket, he wouldn’t be a bad VP pick. He brings some serious economic ‘gravitas’. In addition to his many policy flaws, he is just too damaged to run against Obama on repealing Obamacare.

...and the first ever WV GOP Presidential Convention on Super Tuesday 2008 (where 2/3 of the WV delegates to the national convention were committed to the Huckster) was the reason why. That was decided by 1PM eastern after the second vote. For the rest of the day the media blasted "Romney Loses WV" until the last polls closed. The first vote had McNut trailing well behind Romney with Huck a close third and Paul last. But the Mitten hadn't received the required % of votes necessary for the win. On the second vote, Paul was dropped and the McNut camp shifted to Huck to give him the win. McNut lost WV but won Super Tuesday.

Sorry, but his ObamaCare coupled with his support for all the bailouts puts the myth that he is some type of financial wizard to bed.

He screwed up his own state putting it in the red with his ObamaCare, I really don't want such an idiot in a position of screwing up the national economy.
