Never once heard of her, YAWN.

Is she as big a RINO as Speaker Boehner and the rest of the House leadership?

Attractive but, not hot enough.

She’s a sleeper anyway..

Never heard of her and her wonderousness...

Not a chance. She’s from our state and is irrelevant in terms of political power here.

For some reason, female VPs seem to be the death of a campaign, even when they have substantial conservative cred as Palin did.

She is more conservative than many.

The child, if I recall correctly, is down-syndrome as per Sarah Palin.

"...now in her second term as vice chairman of the Republican Conference, which makes her the highest-ranking Republican woman on Capitol Hill. She has built a significant amount of behind-the-scenes clout, and has become one of her party’s most influential leaders..."

The RNC/Old Boy's Club isn't even finished with shoving Romney down my throat, now they're amping up with an unheard of insider VP candidate.

It's a shame, on all of us, thst no one seriously pushed for a third party in 2008/9.

'Largely unknown. ..the only woman to have given birth. . .' and more; brings on an uncomfortable deja vu. Bad enough; Repubs 'repeat' with RINO Romney; but pulling an 'unknown' political star - and woman; for VP is just more insanity. Truly; these Republican's have 'lost it'.

Has Congressman West 'ever' crossed their thinking? (Oh; that's right; those Tea Party people will not be appeased in any way, shape or form.)

Stop GOP; you ARE killing us. . .

And yes, anyone seen Hillary's 'new look'? Drudge calls it 'James Bond'; but looks 'Maoist' to me. Somethings going on with that. . .

“Just” a Congresswoman? No way the GOP nominee goes for a young woman with what is considered a relatively thin resume for the VP slot for a second time in a row.

Looks like Tina Fey could do a good job with her too. LOL

"I don’t like the idea of The Narrative. I think it is … a barnyard epithet. And, oddly enough, it is something that Republicans are not very good at, because it’s not where they live, it’s not what they’re about, it’s too fancy."

I don't often agree with Peggy Noonan (not anymore, anyway) but she's right about the "narrative thingy". It's a Democrat thing and conservatives look silly doing it.

The RNC can have secretly constructed a biomedical clone of Reagan to run as VP with Romney, and it still won’t make me interested in voting for Romney.

I am sure she is a decent person; however, she has no national name recognition. Conservatives all knew who Palin was before she was picked and we liked her!!! ...the elites sure don't want that to happen again!!!

This sounds like a tactic by the elites to pick an non-entity whom they can control and who will not be a threat to their plans for whomever is “next in line” for the GOP nomination 4 or 8 years hence.

(I'm thinking this will probably be Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio if Romney fails ...and, before someone asks, I am definitely NOT a Bush fan and Rubio showed his true colors in FL last week! Of course, this same strategy applies to whomever the elites have in store to foist on us in 2016 and 2020 ad infinitum. Unfortunately, they will always be in control; since most will likely continue to be frightened into voting for big government liberals of the Republican stripe.)

Dark horse VP talk. I don’t care for the double last name, just pick one Cathy, maiden or married.

Her religion is unspecified Christian. Which means Nondenominational Protestant AFAIK.

Not likely to deliver her state though she’d help.

I wish she’d run against Cantwell, all we have in the race is a State Senator, Michael Baumgartner, and some random doctor.

If Romney wins he should pick Gingrich. If Gingrich wins he should pick Romney. That way even the sore losers will have someone to vote for, excluding of course, the 500 or so who voted for Santorum or Paul.
