The base will definitely turn out to vote for a Mexican.

What Mexican?

One thing you learn in life is to never, never, never call a Puerto Rican a Mexican.

Never. Believe me, I came very close to learning that the hard way in 7th grade.

I know. Cubans don't like it, either.

Living in South Florida, I have met many Hispanics (surprisingly, I know only 4-5 Cubans), and all of them agree on one thing--they hate Mexico. And it isn't always the "all Hispanics are Mexicans stereotype". Some of them just downright hate Mexico.

I wouldn't say I downright hate them, but don't call me Mexican. Maybe you did not get the hint that I'm Cuban. Now, you know another one... just online though. Tongue

DeMint has been coming closer to Paul's noninterventionist foreign policy. Pence would bring in the so-cons who are budget hawks as well (Think the Reagan alliance). Brownback brings more credence to Paul's pro-life cred.

Rand Paul.

But seriously probably someone whose ideology is similar to his, like Walter Jones.

Fortuno being Puerto Rican doesn't change the fact that, if he were Paul's running mate, the GOP base would decide to stay home rather than vote for Ron Paul and the Mexican.  But Paul isn't the panderer his rivals are and would probably shrug off the base's rejection of Mexicans and pick Marco Rubio (balance the ticket with someone who has a chance of ending up on the national ticket).

Republicans know the difference between Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans.

Stop trolling.

Mark Sanford would actually be a decent option re: picking someone who's establishment enough, but has gotten on well with Paul in the past.

Sanford was actually a dark horse VP option for McCain in 2008, and I'm sure there won't be any new skeletons in his closet that have arisen in the last four years.

Were he not as old as Paul, Walter Williams would be an altogether decent VP option.

I would expect Daniels, Christie, or Demint.
