Do you think Romney needs a Southern running mate?

[BaldEagle1991]

For some reason if he picks a Southern running mate, it would help appeal to Bible Belt voters who have been turned off by Romney's Mormonism. As well as help make it a more close race, as that idea could potentially make FL, GA, and NC much less close.

1.  Of all religious groups in America, Evangelicals are the least bigoted.

2.  Between the Potomac and Rio Grande rivers are 180 electoral votes.  Obama won't get a single one no matter who Romney picks for Veep.

3.  My only prediction on Romney's Veep is that he'll pick someone with D.C. experience.  At least, that would be the "safe" play.

1. I would say that's not true to an extent. 

2. There's a high possibility he'll get VA no matter what.

3. Perhaps a Southern Senator would do here, but I think he needs a Southern running mate, the Evangelical Bible Belt votes are what he has a hard time trying to get, and yet needs.

Emmm no......Virginia is far from guaranteed for Obama. Esp. after the recent job's report and other related news.

I think most Americans are now under the assumption that we are in a L shaped recession.

Good God no. Just no. Ideally he needs a Midwesterner with appeal to the rust belt (which spills over into PA). But Rubio does have the spark. Gosh he's articulate, and has superb vocal intonation skills. I have yet to see him stumble. He has the gift.

Yeah I can see Rubio, but I think the only disadvantage with Rubio is DC experience, he's only been a U.S. Senator for almost 1.5 years. However that might help the Hispanic vote.

Are you really from Texas?

Yes. Why?

How about Ron Paul?  That would pick up for Mittens a few votes right here in Atlasia.

He probably will approach him, but I think Ron Paul himself would refuse it.
