A similar tactic worked for McCain. There were a number of people who voted GOP on account of Palin’s presence on the ticket. I’m one of ‘em. Won’t get fooled again.

Where does everyone get the dumb Bass idea that the VP comes from the field of candidates for Pres? That almost never happens. Whoever wins is almost sure to pick a governor of a critical state if they know what they’re doing.

A Romney ticket could use a federal legislator in second position. I say the same for a Palin or Perry led ticket.

Eh, I don’t see Bachman in anyone’s VP slot. Romney might consider it for “conservative cred”, but people would see it for the cynical ploy that it is. And I just don’t see Cain, Gingrich or Perry taking her. I might be wrong, but that’s my gut feeling.

I think it more likely at this point Bachman might land a cabinet post in some GOP administration than the second slot on a ticket.

Elections have become like pro wrestling matches ...fixed before the match even starts . Amazing how many people still think their vote makes a difference . It’s not WHO votes ; it’s who counts the votes . The Repubs are in cahoots with the Rats ; they sleep in the same sleazy hotel and drink at the same two bit bar . A majority of the sheeple are too dumb to even figure it out or care .

Why would Coleman’s views carry any weight? After all, he couldn’t even beat an unfunny so-called “comedian” in his re-election bid.

They better hope so because that’s the only thing that will make Romney remotely palatable.

On the other hand, anything goes in a nation where tea partiers are treating Gingrich like some great savior when he’s actually a repudiation of everything the tea party “claims” to stand for.

I will no longer pretend that turds taste like steak when you pour gravy on them... Bachmann isn't even close to being an enticement to vote for a commie... and romney is a commie. If Bachmann accepted his VP slot... she would prove herself to NOT be what she says that she is.

The GOP nominee will select a VP who can deliver a major swing state, OH, PA, FL........

That’s NOT Bachmann!

It may have worked in 2008. Not in 2012. Bachmann has clearly been angling for this by hanging around at 5% and attacking any and all conservatives who pose a threat to Mittens. She has NEVER gone after Mitt on national television or in any debate.

She has NOT acted in the best interests of the Tea Party nor Conservatives in general. She has behaved very selfishly. Mitt needs her to hang in there because her 5% in each state could tip a plirality to him.

Only a Gardasil Retard would fail to have seen this coming from a mile away.

I think Chris Christie will be the VP on the Republican ticket. After carrying a blue state, his ability to sell to moderates would be irresistible.
