Fred would be wise to go with a strong debater with proven exective experience and a dynamic personality that would balance his low key personality. That person would be Mitt Romney.

Unproven.

Fred would be wise to go with a strong debater with proven exective experience and a dynamic personality that would balance his low key personality. That person would be Mitt Romney.

That just wouldn't happen. Mitt is Fred's main target right now, as he needs the same conservative voters that Mitt is courting in order to overtake Rudy. Fred will be contrasting his lifelong Movement conservatism with Mitt's very recent conversion. And likewise, Mitt, already a bit of a dirty campaigner, will be defending his turf ferociously. The inevitable tension and animosity I think will create a situation making it impossible for Fred to pick Mitt. Plus there is the fact that Mitt doesn't bring anything new to the ticket.

As much as people hate to hear it, if Fred picks any of the competition, it will be Rudy. Rudy brings comfort and continuity on security issues, and would help Fred immensely in the northeast, left coast, and Great Lakes.
