None. Being the losing '12 VP nominee would weaken, rather than improve, the standing of each and every Republican already established as a potential presidential contender.

If the VP nominee is someone who Republicans like anyway, I think they'll be pretty eager to blame Romney alone. McCain-Palin style.

And how well did that work out for Palin?

(Yes, I know. Palin has herself and her family to blame. I don't think that's the full story here though.)
