The president is limited to two terms. However, the vice president isn't.

Whoever/Cheney 2012. He has the heart for another dozen terms.

It started out sarcastic, but upon further thought I like it.

Jeb Bush gets you Florida, married a Latina and speaks Spanish. That doesn’t hurt IMO.

Rubio gets you Florida, married a Latina, speaks Spanish and doesn't come from a family that tried to ruin the country.

Marco Rubio has said no many times, he doesn’t want the job. Don’t want Christie.

It would be difficult for team Romney to find a republican running mate further to the left than Romney himself - but that won’t stop them from trying.

I don’t want Rubio.

I heard on Foxnews that Jeb Bush is now on the list, and that he’s thinking about it. I would prefer Ryan, but I think Rubio would be a distraction. If not Ryan, then Bush might be the best choice.

Allen West gets you Florida, Tea Party Conservatives, and trumps the Race Card.

How is he ineligible?

Good question. I've heard the answer but forgot. Something like, Mitt's father was born in Mexico of U.S. citizen parents so Mitt is ineligible.

My own grand father, of many generations ago, fled religious persecution from France around 1690 and came to the U.S. (Huguenot), hence, I'm not eligible either and furthermore, I believe France might owe me some reparations.

Mitt is ineligible because he's a liberal liar.

"How is he ineligible?"

Well, one of the reasons is that he does not yet have 1142 delegates - but after California votes, he'll likely be close, but may still not have 1142 - maybe that is why some call him 'ineligible.'

GOP voters have to let their three state members of the RNC (that would be the Chairman of the state GOP party, and the 'National Committee Man' and the 'National Committee Woman') that they are quite unhappy with the performance of the RNC in this election, and demand to know if they are supporting what the RNC has done so far in this election.

If GOP voters don't hold their feet to the fire, then they can do anything and get away with it - with presumed support from their state GOP registered voters.

Christie would turn off the deep south — the others, not quite so much.

Ryan will be secretary of the treasury under a Romney admin. No way will he be VP

Hillary as VP would move the ticket further right than Christie.

I like Dick Cheney, but his own drawback as a VP was that he wasn't someone who could be a plausible Presidential candidate later (because of his health problems). Jeb Bush would have the same problem--the country won't elect a third person from the same family within a few decades.

I don't think Rubio would be a good choice--would look too much like pandering for the Hispanic vote, and he needs more experience.

Allen West can be demonized too easily after his comment the other day about Communists. He needs more years in public office before being a credible Presidential or Vice Presidential choice.

Bob McDonnell, Rob Portman, or Paul Ryan all look like choices which would strengthen the ticket.

“Public Policy Polling” is a liberal, leftist organization that polis for Daily Kos, among other leftists.

They have been polling that in the WI recall, Governor Walker was losing badly.....until they had a poll the other day that actually polled likely voters. The new poll miraculously shows him winning against any Dem candidate. (the KOSiacs are flummoxed with this new poll)

Why are we giving PPP any credibility when it comes to Republicans?? They can’t keep their own crap straight.
