Some ones that immediately come to mind:
PROS
- Foriegn policy credentials impecciable
- Media can’t claim GOP candidate is a moron
- Ready to be President in a heartbeat
- Would destroy Joe Biden in a debate
- Slap down at John Thune and his idiotic supporters here
CONS
- Never held elective office, will swing 0 electoral votes (he’s from Maryland)
- RATs absolutely hate him and would be motiviated to turn out against him
- Bush fatigued, media will constantly portray his presence as a return
to Bush’s adminstration and foriegn policy (nevermind the fact that Mr. “Hope & Change” kept Bush’s forieng policy in place anyway)
- Conceded defeat on “gay marriage” issue
- Needs to shave mustache
I agree with the freeper who said he’d be ideal as Secretary of State. I did like the idea of him running for President a while back, but that was because Thune was being touted as Presidential material and I wanted Bolton to swoop in and take out Thune the way Thune had did to Bolton’s UN nomination. (Revenge is a dish best served cold)
The ‘stache is a pro!!
Otherwise, good list. ;)
Actually while I’m pro-stache his Ned Flanders looking thing looks like it’s eating his face. Plus he dyes his hair but not Dr. Fuzzinstien, big no no. Seriously, got milk? Imagine the SNL parody.
But if Romney grew (a normal looking) one he’d be unbeatable harnessing the full power of Tom Dewey.

On a more serious note, we have no idea how he’b be on the stump, we can’t afford a VP candidate without campaign chops even if they would make Joe Biden cry like a little girl in the VP debate.
And with Romney’s history on the issue of homo knot tieing his own apostasy can ill be afforded.
I agree with fatnotlazy and Sacajaweau, sounds more like a Sec of State candidate. There his mustache would win him the respect of the Middle East. Hillary’s mustache is just peach fuzz after all.
