I highly doubt it would be Bachmann. He will probably be more concerned with winning independents than shoring up the base, and Bachmann doesn’t bring anything to the table there.
The potential female running mate I’ve heard mentioned with any seriousness so far is Nikki Haley. I haven’t followed her career closely enough to form an opinion as to whether that would be a good idea, though.
Governor of SC since January 2011. Probably too early to evaluate any executive experience. She was in the SC House from 2005 to 2010. Very popular. Don’t know if she meets the Natural Born requirement. Her parents may not have been US Citizens when she was born in the US.
From Wiki:
Haley was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa[10] in Bamberg, South Carolina on January 20, 1972. Her parents, Dr. Ajit and Raj Randhawa, are Sikh immigrants from Amritsar, Punjab, India. She has two brothers, Mitti and Charan, and a sister, Simran.
Nikki Haley can stay right where she is, thanks. If she joins Slick Willard’s failure train, she’ll lose every ounce of respect I have for her, which is quite a bit at the current time.
