Bob McDonnell, Virginia Governor, will be VEEP. Only candidate who makes total sense. As I have said, ALL upside, NO downside.
1. Constitutionally eligible
2. Conservative
3. Pro Life (always has been)
4. Pro tradition marriage, anti gay marriage
5. A swing state would be moved into Romney column
6. Virginia Senate seat, has been a 50/50 tie for months would swing into the Republican column
7. Wants the job, is term limited out for Governor
8. He is a southerner, Romney is a northerner
9. He has great hair like Romney, an attractive candidate
10. He is a good speaker.
11. He has balanced his state budget by reduced spending and taxes
“The Governor’s success in the reconvened session was a continuation of his victories in the regular session when 92% of his legislative proposals were approved. As Governor, Bob McDonnell has reduced state spending to 2006/7 levels cutting $6 billion; rejected a nearly $2 billion tax increase; put policies in place to help Virginians attract and create thousands of private sector jobs, with the state unemployment rate falling from 7.2% in February 2010 to 6.4% today; made the largest investment in transportation in a generation; and made college more accessible and affordable for Virginia students.
That record of results is resonating.
A new poll out yesterday finds the Governor enjoying an impressive 66% approval rating!”
“Bob McDonnell, Virginia Governor, will be VEEP”
Well, what you say about him sounds good, but that doesn’t mean he is a lock.
Walker now has national name recognition — nobody outside of Virginia has ever heard of McDonnell.
the republicans have a very deep bench of outstanding governors who would make great candidates for VP.
Let them hone their skills at the state level and start limiting the the federal government's insatiable appetite for money and power.
