Aside from Rice...

What are names both high profile and dark horses who have extensive foreign policy backgrounds that could be VPs to Romney?

[All Along The Watchtower]

I dunno, some General or Admiral or someone?

The Moustache.  Instead of losing 2 million conservatives with Rice, he could pick up 1 million.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

For the pure fact of him having a beautiful mustache, Romney would win in a landslide.

David Petraus would be an awesome foreign policy pick. But he NEEDS evangelicals in a bad way. He needs a SoCon.

This guy on foreign policy actually scares me. He would rally whatever democratic base there is not excited by Obama and cause him to win because his foreign policy is that scary.

[Cobbler]

Huntsman maybe. He's a Mormon too, which is why this is incredibly unlikely, but his foreign policy background would fit the criteria well.

I really doubt Romney needs to appeal to the base as badly as people think. All polls show him picking up the South easily. What he lacks with the base in the Rust Belt he can make up with independents tenfold, as long as he makes a qualified, exciting veep pick. That pick is Condi.

I think a Condi pick would also help Romney in Virginia with moderate blacks. At the very leasy, a Condi pick wouldn't hurt Romney.

[Phony Moderate]

John Bolton
David Petraeus
Jon Huntsman
Colin Powell

Interesting how these types tend to be relatively moderate.

[Progressive]

Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Marsha Blackburn

What? No,  a Condi pick would destroy Romney's chances. It'd give Obama a chance to legitimately bring up the Bush administration.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

... and risk reminding voters that his term hasn't been much better than Bush's.

Petraeus, Hagel?, Lugar?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Petraeus, Hagel?, Lugar?

Oh for the love of God... Petraeus is a current CIA Director and, thus, prohibited from seeking an elected office or being otherwise involved in any political activity.

Hagel? A man who did not endorse the Republican nominee in 2008 and frequently clashed with his own party? Really? Who's next? Colin Powell?

Lugar? Grow up, he just lost his Senate seat and picking him would be slap to the very party base Romney needs to win. Also, he's freaking 80 years old.
