Who does Mitt Romney need in a running mate?

Bearing in mind, Rominee has ruled out pro-choice candidates (though he is known to flip a few flops).

I think Sandoval is the best choice from this list. It would accentuate Romney's appeal as a competent, centrist Republican with executive experience. Sandoval's got an extremely impressive resume, and while he would make some right-wingers angry, I don't think it would harm him too much.

FWIW, Sandoval is pro-choice.

David Petraeus would probably benefit Romney the most in reassuring voters that there is someone on the Republican ticket with foreign policy gravitas. 

And with the economy likely not to improve tangibly between now and Election Day (especially with the Euro Crisis and the slowdown in China), that should be enough in ensuring Romney would be in a position to measure the drapes in the White House.

So is Condi.

Went with Martinez as she's also a woman.

Rand Paul. Mitt knows he can't win without the Tea Party. If Rubio wasn't profusely denying intrest it would likely be him because he could bring Latinos, a massive evangelical/Catholic vote and the Tea Party. Then the fur flies.
