It won't happen. Even if any good choices existed, Romney doesn't want to have to spend the first week after selecting a running mate just explaining over and over again why he didn't pick another Sarah Palin, which is what he'd have to explain with any female running mate regardless of how similar to Palin she actually was.

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.

And she's about to be indicted.

KBH is actually a good example of how silly and restrictive the terms "pro-choice" and "pro-life" and trying to fit every person into one of those categories is.

Whatever the case, someone who lost a primary to Rick Perry shouldn't warrant a mention at all.

And to the original point of this thread, Romney cannot choose a female VP this year because doing so would be a blatant pander after the Sarah Palin fiasco. And it really was a fiasco in every way.

Yeah pretty much what I said earlier. No woman will be a viable VP nominee until Sarah Palin fades from the public spotlight (a real shame actually).
