I don’t want Rubio.

I heard on Foxnews that Jeb Bush is now on the list, and that he’s thinking about it. I would prefer Ryan, but I think Rubio would be a distraction. If not Ryan, then Bush might be the best choice.

Ryan will be secretary of the treasury under a Romney admin. No way will he be VP

I like Dick Cheney, but his own drawback as a VP was that he wasn't someone who could be a plausible Presidential candidate later (because of his health problems). Jeb Bush would have the same problem--the country won't elect a third person from the same family within a few decades.

I don't think Rubio would be a good choice--would look too much like pandering for the Hispanic vote, and he needs more experience.

Allen West can be demonized too easily after his comment the other day about Communists. He needs more years in public office before being a credible Presidential or Vice Presidential choice.

Bob McDonnell, Rob Portman, or Paul Ryan all look like choices which would strengthen the ticket.
