The reason I am thinking Martinez is that Romney will want to run a “Western Strategy”. Also, she is much more palatable to the GOP-E’s and does not have any major scandal hanging over her (unlike Rubio).
If Romney wins the nomination, his running-mate will probably someone who has been a congressman, since that helped many republican nominees. The last four GOP VP’s were congressmen. They were Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, George H.W. Bush, and Gerald Ford. I hope that Romney would choose Gov. Butch Otter, of Idaho. He was a congressman, before he was a governor, and he’s conservative.
What Rubio scandal?
