The better Romney VP?

[redcommander]

Christie or Martinez. McDonnell is probably way too conservative to help Romney at least appear somewhat centrist to the electorate with the whole abortion debate going on in Virginia right now. Rubio is overrated, and doesn't allow Romney the luxury of running an all "Washington Outsider" ticket. Martinez unlike Palin is smart, articulate, is governing a state with  diverse political interests she has to appeal to, and could actually swing New Mexico to Romney if she were on the ticket. Christie comes off as real, blunt, intelligent, and has been a very right wing governor in a blue state. Florida and Virginia could go for Mitt without McDonnell or Rubio on the ticket. New Jersey and New Mexico could cause the Obama team to put much needed resources in either of the states that could be used elsewhere.
