Romney will never choose Sarah to be his Vice President. If he does I’ll eat my shoe. It’s never gonna happen
Yep he’ll chose Jim DeMint.
Exactly. He will foolishly pick Santorum, Thune, or DeMint - nice Conservatives, all - hoping it will have a nullifying effect on the betrayal Palinistas will feel. It will instead make many of us more irate that not only did the establishment shun her, but then their nominee passed her over for someone else. It will be a second knife in the heart to Palinistas, and he won't be wise enough to realize that, or the fact that the substitute Conservative - however genuine - will not heal enough wounds.
His team of vitriolic anti-Palinites would NEVER let him pick her, not even if she won 49% to his 50%. Deputy Chief of Staff Steve Schmidt would go ballistic at the mention of her name.
The only way both are on the ticket is if Palin wins the nod and Mitt has a good showing. Like Reagan, she may choose to marry the campaign machinery and existing ground troops in such a manner. He could help in CO, NM, NV, and MI, among others. I would support her over Obama, no matter who she picks as Veep.
But there is no way in hell Mitt Romney would pick Palin for Veep - not given a million chances to do so. His team sees her as radioactive.
I have my doubts that Sarah would accept the position after the last V.P. go around and plus she should distance herself from Romney. Sarah owes Romney nothing so she will not get a pass if she offers him her support.
