You can have Obama with a likely Republican House and Senate majority blocking every piece of legislation and every SC nominee he proposes, or you can have Romney with a likely Republican House and Senate majority telling the rest of us to shut up and support him as he panders in vain to liberals and the editorial pages of the New York Times and Washington Post.

The VP in either scenario will be in Dayton or Muncie cutting ceremonial ribbons with a big pair of scissors, and simply doesn't matter.

Romney might consider it if Gingrich showed that he could deliver the conservative votes. However, have you seen Gingrich's primary results lately? 8% in Illinois, 6% in Wisconsin. 11% in Maryland, 14% in Kansas, less than 1% in ultra-conservative Wyoming. Even in the Deep South, supposedly Gingrich's stronghold, he got only 16% in Louisiana a couple weeks ago. For Gingrich, the past couple months have been a train wreck of epic proportions. He says he is going to Tampa but he might need to thumb a ride because he's out of cash and out of luck.

I know that Gingrich has his fans here but let's face it, Gingrich is politically toxic and does not bring anything to the table. In fact, he would be a drag on the ticket as the recent primary results have shown. It's time to end this silly pipe dream of Gingrich finding a way of getting on the ticket.

Don't shoot the messenger, take a look at the recent results for yourselves.

Would a Romney-Gingrich ticket be acceptable to Jim Robinson

Gosh, I don't know. Let me check that for you...

McCain was at least pro-life and a war hero. But I didn’t vote for him, I voted for Sarah. I will not pull the lever for the abortionist/socialist big government RINO Romney. And I don’t care who he selects as a running mate. Never again.

Umm, nope. I guess not.

[IronJack]

With Romney, you’re given poison by the glass. Obama just sells you the bottle. I didn’t vote for John McCain, why would I vote for either of those clowns?

Until the Republicans start giving us conservative candidates, they will be providing little in the way of alternatives.

I’ll stay home (again) rather than sell my vote that cheap.

[SaraJohnson]

Romney has made clear he’s not interested in conservatives in this race. He is a leftist and loud and proud of it. So good luck with all that, GOP.

I’ll wait until the GOP is weary of losing and comes up with some serious conservative voice and reform, as opposed to socialist (Romneycare, i.e.) reformers.

Worst of all, they picked an aggressive pervert sexual social engineer who was proud to use the power of the State to bother other people’s children with gay sex clubs and “education” in the pulic schools. Kiddie sex perverts. He’ll get the Penn state vote, for sure.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

NEVER.

[xzins]

Romney/Anybody is unacceptable to me.

He is the author of the $50 abortion, the gay marriage license, and forced healthcare.

Romney is a radical liberal.

[Diogenesis]

The INELIGIBLE Romney created RomneyCARE and RomneyMarriage
and the BIG DIG coverup and scores of liberal judges
forever.

Hmmmm. He was for TARP and Sharia.

So. What is he doing on the GOP ticket.

NO WAY.

EVER.

[NorthernCrunchyCon]

The reality of presidential politics is that the guy at the top ultimately sets the tone. I admire Newt. But I don’t think even he could overcome Romney’s RINO tendencies.

One need look no further than what happened to Representative Bart Stupack during the Obamacare fiasco. Bart was one of the few principled Blue Dog democrats out there. He was pro-life, had a perfect rating from the NRA, stood up for serving members and veterans, and did a lot for the law enforcement community and rural conservatives. Unfortunately, he was ultimately crushed by Obama at the top, and forced to support Obamacare, despite being one of the most popular representatives in his electoral district.

And don’t kid yourselves. The same thing happens to conservatives on the GOP side when RINOs and GOPe take hold of the party machinery. Anyone else remember how Representative “B-1” Bob Dornan was sidelined?

[Kazan]

No ticket with Romney at the top of it is acceptable.

Why would you even ask the question?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Once there is a turd in the punchbowl, there is no other ingredient that can be added to improve the taste - or safety.

Willard Romney is the LIBERAL turd in our punchbowl.

He has supported government mandates, gay man-dates, abortion, TARP, government controlled healthcare, etc.

What can you possibly add to sanitize a bowl of punch, when the turd remains??

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

A Romney-anybody ticket has never and will never be acceptable. Many of those sitting on SCOTUS are not spring chickens. Any Romney nomination to the Court has to be better than another o nominee.
We also need a filibuster proof Senate.

The thought of casting a ballot for Romney turns my stomach. However, a Romney sitting in the Oval Office will put us in a better position than now as long as we retain the House. But we will still have much work ahead of us.

[varina davis]

It might help if Romney is the nominee. Sort of like having Dick Cheney as back-up. Not as perfect, but in the ball park.

[sport]

Not me.

[Yosemitest]

“Trojan Horse” Romney is NOT acceptable on ANY ticket!

[6ppc]

I'm a Newt fan, but I don't like the idea of him as VP for one simple reason. The VP slot needs to be a viable future candidate...I always thought it was a dumb move for Bush to keep Cheney for the second term...we needed a viable future candidate in that slot.

My vote would be Paul Ryan.

[Gene Eric]

With all due respect, this kind of speculation is nonsense. The primaries are not over and we must not concede to the least attractive candidate. Baiting support for Romney in this way is in my opinion counterproductive.

The primaries are not over!

[JDoutrider]

A brokered convention is our only hope. Romney is unacceptable to anyone who loves this country.

[newzjunkey]

Newt'd be a great asset for any administration and I'd be pleased if he were the nominee but, suggested by the Santorum "surge," Newt's "baggage" could be a drag on a Romney ticket.

With a certain group, Romney's "Mormon problem" won't be offset by Newt due to past wives. They will stay home and let Obama coast back in.

Newt's persona would also outshine Romney's milquetoast tepidness. Romney's also too cautious to pick Newt; I expect he'll go for bland and pandering.

I don't see the Palin "mistake" being made again. No first term female governor is going to gladly go through that gauntlet again. Romney will likely be drawn to someone with "national" experience, either at the cabinet level or the congress.

If he went that route, I could see Romney talking to someone like "moderate" KayBay, who's retiring from the Senate but she's 68. She has a 90% lifetime rating from the ACU but no one here would call her a conservative firebrand. Here's a thread from Feb. 2008 when RedState speculated she could be on McCain's list. It's a great thread with folks suggesting McCain would pick a woman and a governor. KayBay was not liked.

[Nik Naym]

What part of no Romney on any ticket for any office do you not understand?
