No, I think they learned from their mistake. She's too polarizing, kind of a dingbat, and will help sink their boat. when was the last time a LOSING VP ran for VP after they lost the first time? Mondale and Geraldine...she didn't run again. Dukakis and Benstein. He didn't run again. Bush and Quayle. He didn't run again (he actually WAS VP so that's not exactly the same). Dole and Kemp, Gore and Lieberman, Kerry and Pervert boy who sees dead people... none of them ran again for VP (or President actually). I don't think they'll buck the trend. she knows that her money making scams are done with Fox News and her "tours", not as VP.
Dole was Gerald Ford's running mate in 1976. Nixon was Ike's VP, lost to Kennedy, then was elected in 1968.
Romney/Rubio has a nice ring to it. Rubio would help attract hispanic voters, and also give Romney a better chance of winning Florida.
Here's my VP prediction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susana_Martinez But she has claimed she would refuse, maybe she knows Mitt is going to lose and doesn't want to tie herself to him.
Obama will get over 60% of the popular vote if Romney is his only opposition. The Repubs seem to be deliberately throwing the race. It seems inconceivable that they have nobody qualified to run for President, but they've only offered up their weakest links for slaughter.
Obama wasnt qualified. Romney has way more experience than obama had...much more. This is just a diversionary meme from the left. ....
I'm still of the opinion that we're best off with divided government. I'd be satisfied if Obama wins and the house and senate are republican. Our best hope is gridlock, as GDP and jobs growth since republicans took the House indicate. The only problem with this is that Obama doesn't seem to care about the constitution. He'll appoint (unelected!) guys to do damage by fiat and regulation. The best hope we have is that can be minimized somehow.
Is there any doubt that Romney will have to make a list in excess of ten people from which he'll find a VP candidate? I can see a lot of the more ambitious politicians preferring to give it a go next time around rather than be attached to Romney's failed bid. Seems like Romney will need to find someone similar to Palin in that being part of the losing campaign will be a great promotional tool for an otherwise uninspired politician. Gingrich is unscrupulous enough to do it but, along with Cain, doesn't have the moral convictions and track record the GOP is looking for in a Christian running mate. Do people still like Bobby Jindal?
