Please, spare me the GOP-E’s traditions! If Romney is the VeeP that would be viewed as a sellout by many; including myself.

To your comment on Reagan's pick for VeeP; look what choosing Mr “Read My Lips” gave us. If Romney is on the ticket that would be something that would make me write in for president. Same thing w/Christie ...the guy who, while running for governor, was asked about backing the 2nd Amendment; whereupon he contorted his copious jowls and snarled incredulously; “This is New Jersey!”

I will vote for Rick if he gets the nomination as long as he picks an acceptable VeeP; if not ...well I've held my nose and voted for the GOP “ticket” too many times. At this juncture I've earned the right to vote for a candidate I can agree w/and support. Besides, Santorum will lose to Obama just as McCain did.

Two terms of Ronald Reagan instead of a second term for Jimmy Carter?

I'm not thrilled with an (ahem) moderate on the ticket, but sometimes you have to make such moves in order to win. Not saying that is what is needed at this point, but it may become apparent that it is later in order to win in November. I would much rather have Mike Pence or Tom Coburn or Jim DeMint as VP if we can swing it. But if it takes a Romney or a Christie or a Daniels to pull in enough votes to get Santorum across the finish line, I can live with it.
