Hunstman would be smart, but can America handle an all-mormon ticket?
Which reminds me, why isn't Huntsman (you know, the "seemingly Normal, Presidential one") doing better?
I think its a forgone conclusion that Romney is probably winning the GOP nomination. So my question is, who should be his running mate? I doubt he will choose an outlandish candidate like a Herman Cain, Rick Perry or Ron Paul. Will he go for a Michele Bachmann? She hasn't made a stupid comment in a long time. She may actually attract independent woman voters. My bet is Newton Gingrich, for some reason I think he will get the nod.

, Cain Perry and Paul are outlandish candidates but Bachmann isn't?
Huntsman would be a good candidate but yeah all Mormon would be an issue
I think Bobby Jindal would be a great VP candidate regardless of who wins the nomination
Paul is outlandish because his ideals go way out there sometimes. I dont think Romney would want to attach himself to complete libertarianism. I dont think I have to explain Perry's problems. Bachmann has been tame so far.

Good point

I forgot about him
Bachmann is Sarah Parlin reincarnated. She's crazier than a house rat.
I think Romney would be smart to not pick anyone too polarizing at all (which basically leaves out any other current Republican candidate).
She is worse than Palin
But like I said, so far we haven't heard any negative pub about her. Which is surprising I thought she was gonna start a couple of riots when she first put her name on the ballot.
Barack Obama.
He'd be an idiot to not pick Rubio to lock up Florida and maybe get a bit of the latino vote. He's got the wingnut base anyways since he's not Obama, so no need whatsoever to court them after getting the nomination.
^Exactly. The tea baggers will vote for anyone not named Obama, no need to pander to the base
Worse in the sense she's smart enough and clever enough to not let her stupidity and ovaries get the best of her like they do with Sarah Palin, but her actual views aren't as bat as Palin's.
I haven't heard any reports of Bachmann speaking in tongues on a regular basis
And lib s will vote for any democrat.
Huh? I'm liberal as it gets and I'd vote for Romney over Obama in a second if Romey wins the nomination. Liberals are pissed at Obama, it's only your weird world where liberals try to pass Obama off as a good president.
I didn't say liberal. I said lib . They mean different things to me.
Neat.
No way Romney chooses a beltway guy like Gingrich, and I'm holding out sincere hope he doesn't choose someone in the extreme right to pander to the party base. Christie seems likely.
Christie isn't happening. Not that he shouldn't accept, seeing that he'll likely be a one term governor in NJ. But I think Christie has aspirations to run for the presidency in the future.
If Romney wants to reach out to independents and undecided people, he should pick Ron Paul. He definitely doesn't need to pick Rick Perry or a hardcore conservative.
I see...
You prefer political tactics over integrity.
"political-tactics-over-integrity" is Mitt Romney's middle name.
No better way to get your name on the national stage than to be on the ticket...ask Sarah Palin. Even if Romney wins two successive terms, Christie would only be 58 in a 2020 run.
I almost choked to death on irony as I read this post.
Romney will pick someone from a swing state like Ohio. Either that or a Tea Party candidate. A woman or black guy. So either Bachman or Cain. I think it will be Cain or Newt. Newt will pick Cain. and Cain woould probably pick Romney.
DOK. Don't you have a dead GI's funeral to go protest?
Was Obama's Ambassador to China. That's considered a disqualification in today's GOP.
Huntsman is very conservative on a lot of things but that won't matter because he has the wrong style. His penchant for reasoned discourse and political nuance can't be very endearing to primary voters who expect pols to pander to their biases, their cultural resentments and their hatred for the other side.
