...[Romney's] choice of a running mate will be his first opportunity to evidence his professed conservatism, which of course followed his liberal record as governor. If he is serious, he'll pick an outspoken firebrand of a conservative like Palin was to McCain.

And wouldn't that be lovely???

IMHO, he absolutely needs to do this.

Did anyone see Greta VanSusteran's show last night? She had Michelle Bachman on, with her full-blown endorsement of Romney. Bachman said she would vouch for Romney on pro-life issues, finding him sincere in the matter of defense of life. She also vouchsafed that he would, in fact, repeal ObamaCare, and ensure that any replacement for it would NOT include any sort of "individual mandate."

If the chair of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus is willing to try to unite the GOP, for the purpose of showing Obama the door, then all I can say is she definitely senses the URGENCY of defeating Obama.

Question: Would Bachman be an acceptable VP candidate with my friends here — or has she utterly tarnished herself in their view by coming to Romney's aid, for the purpose of uniting the party, in order to defeat the criminal enterprise now operating out of the White House?

Thank you so very much, dearest sister in Christs, for your valuable insights here.

Bachman, Rubio, Bob McDonnell, Susana Martinez...there are a lot of good conservative names out there.

I expect we will know sometime in late May or early June who it is, and like you I am praying it is a firebrand, young, tea party conservative.

No one would be an acceptable VP enough to get me to vote for Romney. It would be hypocritical of me to ever vote for Romney.

Sadly, Bachmann is deluded on Romney’s ‘pro-life’ views. She has become a real disappointment.

I’m out of the GOP over this. I will no longer be played the fool.

Betty, you are a precious sister in Christ, and I’d love to be one with you all on this, but I cannot.

Michelle is being a party team player.

I am an independent, pro-life conservative. I am beholden to no party.

Romney is not a pro-life conservative. His record is easy to look up. His cynical flips and flops on the issue depending on what he was running for make me think he is lying....again.

And, given the track record, I’m probably right.

But for Michele to lie for Willard is not a Christian thing to do...

If shes so desparate that she will spit on her Conservative principles and the Bible then she is not having faith in God...

We as Christian never get to that point when the situation is that “urgent” that we will turn away from God and think a sin will overcome evil...

Thank you so very much for your insights and encouragements, dearest sister in Christ!

Palin was the charisma McCain didn't have. Romney doesn't have charisma either (at least that I can tell) - Bachman could certainly help but Palin set a very high bar even for Bachman.
