I thought it would be interesting to take a look at where the money is when it comes to the 2012 Vice Presidential Race. Of course we all know that whoever wins the nomination for President will make that final decision based on several issues including, Geography. Particular strength (s), Particular background.

My VP choices:
ReplyDeleteChristie
Jindal
Daniels
Pawlenty
Kasich
McDonnell-confederate problem
Rubio - untested, little national experience.
Huck - too much baggage, mixed record.
I realize my choices might not be strategic, but I think it's important to consider 2020.
-Martha
Mitt's shortlist will look like this:
ReplyDeleteHuckabee - unity ticket
Jindal - turnaround ticket
Rubio - "Leading man" ticket
McDonnell - experience ticket (business/military)
Perry - jobs ticket
Jim DeMint 26th?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so.
He and Romney are tight. There is a calculating reason that he is appearing reluctant to endorse Romney at this point.
When he does, it will be BIG!
Rubio would be OK, but I like DeMint better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you zeke.
ReplyDeleteRomney / DeMint in 2012!
My top 3 choices, in no particular order, are Rubio, Jindal and DeMint.
ReplyDeleteWhat they all have in common - from the south, will bring the Republican party together.
The only reason Rubio is not my stand alone #1 choice is that by the time he would take office as VP he would have just finished his 2nd year in a six year term as senator. So far he has impressed me every time I've heard him open his mouth.
