Palin supporters would always support Cain anyway.

Politically she would bring nothing to that ticket. Adding Rubio OTOH would make a lot of sense, because frankly as we all remember...We NEED to win FL.

Rubio has said he won’t run as VP.

And if he did I would not vote for that ticket unless we had a specific court ruling that Rubio is a natural born US citizen.

I would never vote for Romney unless we had a specific court ruling that he was NBC also.

I would love a Cain-Palin ticket. I could fight HARD for that team.

[Mr. Silverback]

Rubio ain’t comin’. He was very clear about it.

“I am not going to be the VP nominee”

Sen.Rubio has publicly spoken: he will not accept the VP nomination.

There are groups around the nation putting together ballot initiatives for the Nov.2012 election that would provide state constitutions with an amendment defining natural born citizen. It would require all persons running for President or Vice President to prove eligibility: that they were born in the USA of USA citizen parents.

The definition of natural born citizen is in the summation to Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

I'm with you on that.

A Cain/Rubio ticket is one I could enthusiastically support.

I could support Cain/Palin as well, but Rubio is definitely better strategy.

I thought Rubio said yesterday that he was NOT interested in being VP.

[Thane_Banquo]

Cain will be castigated for his lack of political experience, so I think someone with a long political resume, maybe from the Midwest or PA. Perhaps Pawlenty or maybe Santorum.

[Jim Noble]

What possible justification is there for putting Rubio on the ticket?

He has been a Senator for less than two years, and hasn't done a thing.

I understand that he can speak Spanish. Is that it?

If so, that's disgusting.

And, by the way, in the (extremely) unllikely event that a non-politician is half of the ticket, the other half will need to have EXPERIENCE - I mean, like Dick Cheney experience.

Two newbies won't fly with me.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Since both Rubio and Palin have said they would turn down a VP slot, it seems unproductive to wish for either.

[Yulee]

If it is true that Marco Rubio’s parents were not citizens when he was born, he does not meet the constitutional requirement that he be a natural born citizen.

I'm sorry to say this since I'm a big Rubio fan.
