I wish he would seriously consider David Petraeus.

Romney is light on foreign affairs, anti-terrorism and the military and Petraeus could provide balance.

Also, I would like to the this ticket adopt a new campaign theme:

“Competence”

Didn’t Petraeus describe himself as a ‘Rockefeller Republican’ or something similar?

There’s nothing in a military man resume suggestive of small-government instincts.

Condi Rice would fit that bill. Works for me.

I mean, I’m already holding my nose and voting AGAINST the Kenyan - not necessarily FOR the Republican contender.

Irrelevant, since Obama's likely to eliminate the military altogether.

Before he started the "competence" crap, he was up by 17.

People want to be led, not managed. This is the reason Romney was such a poor choice.

It's also the reson he won't pick a leader as VP - might show him up.

Romney will have NONE of that! He spent years and millions attacking competence. And his governorship proved his contempt for American values. He's called Barry lite for a reason and not ONLY because mitt is the grandfather of obamacare - he nurses his own little socialistic Romneycare!
