Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney acknowledged on Tuesday he is considering naming his choice to serve as vice presidential running mate earlier than usual to better compete with President Barack Obama.
As they work from a short list of leading Republicans, Romney and his advisers say they are weighing whether he should announce his choice some weeks earlier than the traditional time of around the Republican National Convention, which is to be held in Tampa in late August.
The reasoning, advisers say, is that two candidates would be able to raise more money and engage Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in battle with polls showing Americans closely divided on whether to pick the Republican challenger or Democratic incumbent in the November 6 election.

Welcome to FR!
NO RICE! I am having hard enough time voting for this RINO now. Add her and I will be done with him. She may be from my state, but NO to her.
Oh, all right. It’s a fantastic idea to behave as if it’s all in the bag over a month before the convention when there is a large contingent of conservative voters who are more than just a little dubious of him.
But, he can repackage himself and adapt his messaging. I suggest he have a fancy, quasi-presidential looking seal made up for “The Office Of The Presumptive Nominee,” mount it on a podium and start issuing edicts, right after he names his Vice President.
Worked for Obama.
I think it will be a safe unknown and I personally think Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is on the short list.
I do hope to live long enough to be able to vote for Colonel West as President and to witness the good that he leads in doing for the country.
Paul Ryan and do it tomorrow.
That way we’ll have an articulate impassioned conservative out there campaigning for the ticket.
That's pretty darn funny!
Newt? LOL. Perry? ROTFLOL. No thanks. Both are morons.
Yup.
The more I say it, the more it makes complete sense.
Sarah Palin.
We saw what she did to Bite-me in the last election. She is much better now.
Of course, Romney will never pick a woman who is a better man than he.
Is that Biden playing the accordion?
Is Kobayashi eligible?
I think that is why he would select Palin as VP.
He would like to be the perfect president.
He COULD be the perfect president. With the right running mate...
:D
Yeh, whenever I need to know what’s going on, I check with the Jew-hating anti-semitic Nazi bastards at Reuters.
Can we ever stop posting crap from the goose-stepping pigs from Seig Heil Britian?
Do I need to make a formal request to ban Reuters?
But in this nation of idiots, the people still think Sarah is Tina.
I find it interesting that when they mention Kelly Ayote, theyvsay that because she is a first term senator, that she dent have the experience to be VP. But Bambi was qualified to be at the top of the ticket????
