I think Ron has acquired the taint of the quasi-outer circle extremist from his economic views. I dont see Perry making that choice either, tbh.
What if he were to pick Ron Paul???

I would take Rain Man and the Queen of Rage as a ticket if they could create some damn jobs.
Definitely not Bachmann, for the same reasons he won't pick Paliln. I think he's going to go off map. Probably even to the point of picking someone out of the corporate world instead of the political one. Obviously not someone from the financial sector though.
Even though Perry can't pick him because he's also from Texas, but someone like Ed Whitacre would be ideal for Perry IMO. Smart, well spoken, not a polarizing figure, not a politician, solid business background.
He'll definitely get the Galileo vote
Can't pick a Texan. Pres & VP have to be from different states.
No way... it's the introduction of the word Teavangelical to our lexicon.best part of the piece.
Perry/Trump 2012
Not afraid to show personal do ents
That was pretty good.No way... it's the introduction of the word Teavangelical to our lexicon.
I figured he got that from somewhere else.No way... it's the introduction of the word Teavangelical to our lexicon.
It's genius.
In 2008, McCain needed not only to hit a home run but also pick someone who'd energize the religious right voters. On top of Bush making it impossible for the Republicans, McCain winning the primary in a fluke scenario where Huckabee and Romney split the religious vote only made it worse because he wasn't enough of a reason for the religious right to show up and vote. In that scenario, a boom or bust polarizing figure like Palin made sense. Obama probably woulda won by more if McCain picked Lieberman like he wanted to.
This time around, it's the Republicans' election to lose, and the racist bible thumpers hate Obama so much now they'll get to the polls to vote for whoever is running against him. There's absolutely no reason for whoever the Republican candidate is to pick a candidate who appeals to the religious right or is a polarizing figure like Palin.
There is a certain synergy to pairing up the best hair in the world and the worst on a single presidential ticket.
Jindal has no chance with corny Mr Rogers speeches like this, lol
tbh, McCain would be a better candidate than any of the ones floating around right now, IMO. He had to carry dubya's weight in the last election, which obviously was too much burden. That's not necessarily HIS fault though.
You serious?
The problem for McCain is that he lost against Barry once, so that wouldn't work in this cycle, IMO. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him run again at some point in the future, especially with the GOP political landscape looking like it does.
the entertainment value of that would be so ing good.
While you certainly could pick a VP from the same state as the Presidential candidate, contemporary wisdom dictates that you piss off too many voters from other parts of the country when doing so.
If we're vying for entertainment, I would pay to see a Palin/Bachman ticket, tbh
I stand corrected.
I was both serious and incorrect.
Highly possible, but I could also see him going with Rubio, who has a short voting record and is widely considered a rising star within the GOP. Plus, Florida would be a lock.
McCain was pretty old in 2008. I can't imagine him running when he's 8 years older. I think his window has passed. It's too bad he didn't have a better shot in 2000 when he was closer to his prime and was less of a bitter old curmudgeon.
so many flavors to choose from, I don't know which is my favorite potential combo.
