Does amybody want to be Romneys running mate?

[Avorysuds]

All I can say is this election will be very close, I doubt Mitt's VP is what will win it or lose it for him. At this point Obama has to depend on a depressed Republican voter turnout seeing as Mitt is a horrid candidate (and the second he loses all you fuckers will admit that for the rest of your lives), while Republicans (Mitt) has to depend on a depressed voter turnout for Obama seeing as Obama has proven to be intellectually challenged, unable to speak much better than Bush and failed to do about 90% of the "meaningful" stuff he promised and instead did the opposite like start wars and keep the Bush era tax cuts.


This election will literally be about nothing more than making the other persons base less happy with who they have to vote for, for both sides... The rest is sideshow talking points that amounts to filler.

George HW Bush in 1980.

George Bushes resumee in 1980 puts Obamas to shame.

War hero (youngest flyer in WW2) - congresman, head of CIA, successfull businsman etc ..............................................................

Reagan choosing Bush as his running mate in 1980 showed his smarts.

They had their differneces during the GOP camapaign.

(Reagan: "I paid for this microphone")

But Reagan recognized that Bush Sr would be qualified to take over the prescidency if something happenned to him - and almost did - failed assn attempt)

Romney says Marco Rubio being ‘thoroughly vetted’ as possible VP

HOLLAND, Mich. -- Mitt Romney on Tuesday called reports that his campaign was not vetting conservative rising star Marco Rubio for the vice presidential nomination "entirely false," and said his campaign is indeed vetting the Florida senator.

"Marco Rubio is being thoroughly vetted as part of our process," Romney told reporters in a hastily-organized statement to the media before a stop at an ice cream shop.

The Romney campaign has jealously guarded information about its vice presidential selection process, with Romney repeating a familiar refrain whenever questions about the number two spot on the ticket are asked: I've got nothing for ya.

Today's statement was the first time Romney or his campaign have officially confirmed that his campaign was vetting anyone.

Seems all the favs are playing hard-to-get.

On one hand - the VP is a ceremonial position.

On the other hand - history shows it a a stepping-stone to the presidency.

Coming from the Left, it is pretty funny to hear them trash potential VP candidates.

I mean these are the people that Made Biden VP. Does it get any less qualified?

Rob Portman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rob Portman has been around. Over the course of his career in public service, he has been appointed to positions in two presidential administrations. He has negotiated massive trade deals around the world and overseen the the process of crafting the president's multitrillion-dollar budget plan. He was a member of the House of Representatives for 12 years, is now a U.S. senator, and he just might become the next vice president of the United States.

The left accussed Bush Sr of cowardice - bailing out on his crew over the Pacifc in WW2.

Then did the same re Dubya re his honorable National Guard service.

(and did the same for Dan Quale for that matter)

Why are people so interested in Romney's VP pick? He will make it when the convention gets closer so try and relax.

So being Vice President is a career ending move? Someone needs to tell Biden.

Marco is wetting his pants to get a chance, and Nikki Haley would love to be the veep nominee, for starters.

After doing that, being the one who posted such a thing, you could always then point it out again later under another name and act all outraged over it and that would definitely be a lower way to go! Since you're asking, I'm just sayin'...
