i prefer he stay where hi is, like walker in wi. could be a move to foil ron paul and the paulbots.
I think this movie is a re-make. I won’t be buying a ticket.
Probably the best inside the beltway pick.
There’s this...whenever Scott Walker is asked about becoming the VP candidate, he practically begs Romney to choose Paul Ryan instead.
FWIW.
Rom needs someone how can get stuff down in DC.
And Paul Ryan is the Republican -- when all other Republicans were too afraid to say anything at all -- Paul Ryan stepped up with a bold plan to cut $500B over 10 years? Right?
Yeah. I have no time for that. I'll just hunker down and wait for the shooting to start, because this whole "electoral process" is a complete joke and waste of my time.
Two White breads aint goona get it !Alan West: A tea party favorite
At least he is ‘natural born’ with both parents being citizens when he was born.
Rubio can fill some other post in Romney’s administration, IMO.

If Romney really wants to win he’ll pick West .
We need Leadership ! not bookkeeping !
If Romney really wants to win hell pick West .
West is best!
West would kick azz and take names.
West would make it a Landslide.
Yeah, he’s too important as one of 435 members of congress to serve as lowly VP!
You never really know if stories like this our true but, I sure like the idea. Quite franky, the country needs the stark contrast in choices.
Both parties have been guilty of overspending but, it seems as if the GOP is more comfortable with the idea of backing-off the credit card. Paul Ryan has made a couple of bites at the apple with his proposals and this is what used to be called ‘leadership.’ His proposals would be a great jumping off point in a Romney administration.
As for a second Obama term, I really try to be open minded. While it is clear Obama strongly disagrees with the Ryan budget, he has not yet offered a ‘counter-plan’ to reduce the deficit. Instead he gives us 1.5 trillion dollar deficits that not even his own senate supports. We as voters are therefore left to guess what his deficit reduction plan might be. Based on his record, my guess is he has no plan which scares me. The fact is, to maintain his spending levels everyone’s (and I mean everyone’s)federal taxes will have to at least double. So, as voters, we are left to assume that there will be no deficit reduction plan from Obama or a ‘double taxes’ budget from Obama. No matter what, it’s crap leadership because we shouldn’t be guessing. We should know.
President Obama is an unusual leader. He carries and presents himself as good as any politician I’ve ever seen. Still, his speeches are not inspiring, rather they are preachy and condescending as he spouts orders indignantly and lectures those who disagree with him. In the end, he comes across as a politician who doesn’t know how to roll up his sleaves and work with people he neither agrees with nor likes. The details of politics...the give and take...the interaction....the things that are usually the mothers milk of a skilled politician.....completely escape President Obama. In short, he doesn’t enjoy the very thing a President is called upon to do...which is to craft agreement and law where none appears to exist.
Our greatest Presidents were labeled great not because everyone agreed with them all the time. They were labeled great because they brought people and ideas together in what was thought to be impossible situations. For example, all of the south and half of the north hated President Lincoln. Even with this head win, President Lincoln was still able to maneuver in that environment and maneuver successfully.
No, President Obama is no leader. He prefers to lecture, whine, politicize, pander, and hit the golf course by 1 PM....mistaking attitude and anger for negotiation and positioning. It is obvious he is in completely over his head. It is clear that President Obama hasn’t the skills or the patience to get his vision in place. Heck, I’ll even go one further. He doesn’t even have a vision. If he did, there would be more than the Ryan Budget Plan for us voters to consider.
Ryan should probably have been the Presidential candidate, with somebody like Newt to add a little more excitement and experience.
I’m not sure Romney would like to run with Ryan, however, since Ryan is a lot smarter and less liberal than Romney and I don’t think Romney likes competitors.
Rubio, having had a Mormon background and having becoming increasingly liberal lately, would also have been too much on the same line and I think Romney never seriously considered him. Romney gave money to Rubio’s Senate campaign because he was buying everybody he thought might be a rival to him.
That said, I’m not voting for VP again.
