Kay Bailey Hutchison? Pro-choice, but a Southerner. Lots of experience, but maybe too old.

There's already a large percentage of the GOP base that thinks Romney is a closet liberal. This would be a dealbreaker.

In 1996, Pat Buchanan threatened if Dole choose a pro-choice running-mate, he'll run as an independent.

And such sentiments among conservative Republicans only grew stronger since then.

A pro-choice on GOP ticket? Just forget.

I think Condoleeza Rice would be a good choice, to give the ticket some foreign policy credentials.

One of the main architects of GWB's disaster in foreign relations? WTF LOL...

Nikki Haley? Young, charismatic, a minority. She's said she wouldn't do it, but the cardinal rule of running for Vice President is to act like you're not running for VP.

She's a damaged good after failing miserably to deliver SC to Mitt during primaries.


If Romney wants a Governor, relatively fresh in national politics, still popular in home state and, most importantly, not an idiot like Sarah Palin, then Martinez is an obvious answer.
