Title: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it. on May 23, 2012, 06:59:58 PM ?(:
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자) on May 23, 2012, 07:20:28 PM Richard Burr. Then when the Republicans unexpectedly lose the House while gaining the Senate, and there is a electoral college tie, the House proves unable to elect a President, but at long last a Burr who was a Republican Vice-Presidential nominee will end up being President!
Aaron Burr lives! Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Bandit3 the Worker on May 23, 2012, 07:43:09 PM If it's Haley Barbour, the headlines could read, "Barber picks Barbour."
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: NHI on May 23, 2012, 07:56:02 PM On this list: Either Ayotte, Portman, Christie
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on May 23, 2012, 07:58:48 PM Burr makes sense to me, personally. Southern, solid conservative credentials but not insane, and from a swing state.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: RodPresident on May 23, 2012, 08:11:05 PM Burr has problem of voted for DADT repeal. I think that Ayotte, Corbett and McDonnell are choices who can help Romney.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on May 23, 2012, 08:12:42 PM Burr has problem of voted for DADT repeal. Evil RINO. He's out. Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Joe Biden 2020 on May 23, 2012, 08:19:52 PM Do we really need 100 threads about the VEEP selection? I reiterate the call to make one thread and sticky it. That would seriously unclog the board.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: TNF on May 24, 2012, 10:12:55 AM My guess would be Nikki Haley.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Pingvin on May 24, 2012, 10:30:56 AM Christie.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: © tweed on May 24, 2012, 11:14:09 AM wait, Ayotte is getting serious buzz?
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Bandit3 the Worker on May 24, 2012, 11:18:08 AM The hilarious thing about this list is that each and every person on it will hurt the ticket.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: HagridOfTheDeep on May 24, 2012, 11:40:47 AM Yeah, but there will still be a net gain. You liberals seem to miss that net gain concept lately... Coughcoughbain.
I still think Martinez would be the best choice. It won't be her though. I'm thinking it'll be Rubio. Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Reaganfan on May 24, 2012, 11:57:14 AM Bush
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: BaldEagle1991 on May 24, 2012, 12:00:14 PM I just picked Tim Paulenty based on experience alone.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: hopper on May 24, 2012, 01:56:07 PM Jeb Bush.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: tmthforu94 on May 24, 2012, 02:02:52 PM Of these, probably Portman or Piyush.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Lincoln Republican on May 24, 2012, 07:36:15 PM Senator Portman.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: milhouse24 on May 24, 2012, 08:31:48 PM If Romney wants to win, he'll pick Bush.
If Romney wants to play it ultra-safe, he'll pick Pawlenty, but that might actually hurt him because TPaw was only slightly popular in Minnesota, and he's only slightly popular with evangelicals, and he is slightly popular in the midwest; so he could hurt the ticket by having zero strengths which will be seen as a major weakness. He's a DC outsider, so that is his only ace card. If Romney wants to go with pure competence, then it will be Portman, who doesn't have much political popularity, but will be able to run the executive branch effectively. I'm surprised that more established senators haven't gotten more consideration. I think Burr, DeMint, Thune, and Alexander would all be safe choices, with established political capital within their states and among evangelicals. Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Bandit3 the Worker on May 24, 2012, 08:33:40 PM Personally, I think it'll be Jim DeMint, Haley Barbour, Bob McDonnell, or Rick Santorum.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Lincoln Republican on May 24, 2012, 08:49:53 PM Personally, I think it'll be Jim DeMint, Haley Barbour, Bob McDonnell, or Rick Santorum. With all due respect, do you really believe that Santorum will be given serious consideration? Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Bandit3 the Worker on May 24, 2012, 08:51:40 PM With all due respect, do you really believe that Santorum will be given serious consideration? He's near the top of the list. Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Svensson on May 24, 2012, 08:53:57 PM Huckabee or Burr.
Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Lincoln Republican on May 24, 2012, 08:56:48 PM With all due respect, do you really believe that Santorum will be given serious consideration? He's near the top of the list. Interesting. Can you explain your reasoning please? Title: Re: Who will Mittens pick as his VP? Post by: Bandit3 the Worker on May 24, 2012, 08:58:45 PM Interesting. Can you explain your reasoning please? Santorum has a big enough following among the right-wing base. He's not my favorite, of course, but nobody in the GOP is.
