Who will Ron Paul pick for his VP? (vanity)

Most of the other candidates are out of money.

Soon it will be only Romney, McCain, and Paul.

The time is coming for them to pick their VP picks. I am willing to bet the first might happen before Super Tuesday in an attempt to get a bump.

The buzz I have heard is around the following potential picks

Mark Sanford, Gary Johnson, Judge Andrew Napolitano, John Stossel

Of them all, I think that Judge Napolitano would be the best pick, from a pure ticket perspective.

I know his foreign policy isn't popular on FR and this post will likely attract a lot of noise from a handful of people dedicated to shouting the Doctor down.

However - he is a Republican candidate, he has the funds to go until the RNC, and it will be time to announce his VP pick soon. Before anyone suggests it, it's not going to be Kucinich. ;)

So think about this - he is the only candidate left in the race (assuming Fred drops out later today, which he likely is doing), Paul is the only candidate left that is anti-amnesty, pro-2nd amendment, anti-abortion, and for limiting the size and scope of government.

Like I said - I'm hoping it's the Doctor and the Judge.

Anyone else hearing any noise?

Wow. Great question.

Have to think about it.

[Recovering_Democrat]

None of the above.

Who will Ron Paul pick for his VP?

There can be only one choice....

[rineaux]

Rudyjudy, Mcinsane, Huckaberry and make fun buddy romney would not even be considered on his list.

I know we mentioned Mark Sanford.

What about JC Watts? Would he add value to the ticket?

Wow, was that a picture of Richard Clarke while he was working for the government? He seems kinda young in it. Probably right on the money, though, as it would combine Ron Paul’s pandering with Richard Clarke’s poor foreign policy experience to get an absolutely Dumbo team.

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

There can only be one choice is right!

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

Wow, was that a picture of Richard Clarke while he was working for the government?

No - it was Kozak's self portrait. What a Goofy lookin' guy!

We're talking about possible veep candidates for this patriot:

He might be best of these three as congress
would have to override his vetos. LOL

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

Pelosi and Reid vs Dr. No.

I love it. :)

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

Ping...

The premise is silly. Why would ANYone announce their VP pick “soon”?

The putative nominee will announce his vice presidential pick next Summer, shortly before the party’s convention. There’s no benefit in announcing soon... especially in January!

Paul is the only candidate left that is anti-amnesty, pro-2nd amendment, anti-abortion, and for limiting the size and scope of government.

He's also a cut-n-run islamic apologist.

And a coward.

Kind of hard to call a flight surgeon in
the Air Force during the sixties a coward!

Not when he says this crap:

Before the U.S. House of Representatives on July 12, 2007 I rise in opposition to HR 2956 which, while a well-intended attempt to reduce our nation’s seemingly unlimited military commitment in Iraq, is in so many respects deeply flawed.

I have been one of the strongest opponents of military action against Iraq. I voted against the initial authorization in 2002 and I have voted against every supplemental appropriations bill to fund the war. I even voted against the initial “Iraq regime change” legislation back in 1998. I believe our troops should be brought back to the United States without delay. Unfortunately, one of the reasons I oppose this legislation is that it masquerades as a troop withdrawal measure but in reality may well end up increasing US commitments in the Middle East.

I “heard” some people say Judge Andrew Napolitano.

[Daveinyork]

The last time he ran, his running mate was Russel Means of the American Indian Movement. Can he do any worse?
