Romney VP search: free-floating speculation and wish list thread

[Progressive]

Discuss: Mike Huckabee

Has he denied possible VP talk? The guy is pretty likeable, has the experience, would please conservatives, and isn't a bad debator. Other than the pardons, what we be the negatives of a Romney/Huckabee ticket?

Huckabee is no longer a politican, he's a TV show host a la Bill O'Reilly...I am a Democrat but always liked Huckabee's style and found him honest.

Huckabee would have wiped floor w/ Romney this year.

Doesn't it make sense...that Mitt Romney wants to have a surprise VP pick to get some positive/focused news coverage on his campaign?

It obviously isn't Condi Rice, that was done to draw fascination, and now the talks of Pawlenty, I think that's done to draw some speculation, but now I think it won't be him. I remember McCain had his Tom Ridge moment, Tim Pawlenty moment, even Mitt Romney moment.

I think it's going to be a woman...

I think it's going to be someone like Marsha Blackburn or Cathy McMorris-Rodgers. They won't upstage Romney and the public doesn't know too much about them. As far as I know, they don't have major skeletons in their closet so public fascination onto them shouldn't be damaging...?

It will be Rudy Giuliani
