GOP Vice-Presidential Candidates: Romney Getting Closer, But Still No Announcement

Any VP selection who agrees to go with Romney will be commiting politial suicide, because Romney, of all candidates, has no chance of unseating Obama. Dr. Ron Paul is the best pick and the GOP hierarchy would be doing the country a great service by selecting Dr. Paul despite his not being an adherent to all Republican asgendas.

I would be happy with many of the people listed. But my PERSONAL selection would be either Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio. Condoleeza Rice would be a smooth political move.

If Mitt is considering all of these people who share little in common, what is the key ingredient for his selection. Is he looking for a person who is as detached from reality as he is and as unpredictable as he has demonstrated in the past? There may be some would-be Republican Vice Presidential candidates in this group who are big enough for the job, but ther are many of these potential candidates should never have been on his list. And it frightens me that he may pick another Sara Palin or Dan Quaile.

pick Sarah Palin Mitt, worked last time should again.

Sadly, Dr Paul is one of few reasonable Republicans. So many have been pushed so far to the right, not even their idol Ronald Reagan would fit in.

KEEPING IT THOUGHTFULLY HONEST: So let's be clear, Romney now says he “only had ownership of his company that he created (that was outsourcing our American jobs to Communist China!” Does that mean that he was only concerned about collecting his money regardless of what the company was doing? Romney keeps insulting the intelligence of thinking Americans! He keeps bring into question this own integrity by his inconsistent statements with his past record! And expects Us to have confidence to vote for him! Really?

Romney's only chance is to have Ron Paul as his running mate.

George Zimmerman and/or Bernie Madoff would appeal to the GOP base.

Romney will get whoever the Rights pick for him….just like McCain did.

Whoever it is I hope it brings down the ticket!

lol

why don't we talk about and clear about Obama out sourcing jobs to Finland, Mexico, Canada, Spain, GE, his buddy CEO outsourcing Jobs to china and elsewhere, 8.2% unemployment, much higher for Black and hispanic groups and real unemployment of around 15%, millons more on food stamps, broken promises by the train load which call into question Obama's integrity, which insults the intelligence of thinking americans, does this mean that Obama only cares about gays, illegals, and far left groups of all kinds, Solydra, fast and furious, lack of integrity and a murder of a border agent, insulting seal team 6 by making politcal hay out of the bravery of our troops, raising taxes on all americans, health care bill that the majority of thinking americans don't want, and will cost trillons, and btw spending trillons of our grand kids money, no budget for 3 years, and submitted budgets voted down by all members of congress, due to out of control spending, this is insulting and not honest, does this mean that Obama should be elected on his record? Of course you must be thinking, right?

"McCain has Romney's tax returns for 23 years and picked Sarah Palin."

Rice is the only candidate that can splits the Blacks & women vote. Her mild pro-choice can even draws independent voter. Ron Paul 's followers are just the Tea Party folks which can be taken for granted. Paul cannot bring in any additional vote in battle ground states. If Romney picks a Conservative, he may as well throw in the towel now.

Who cares! It's a mute issue, Willard continues to administer self infliction! This time Willard can't stop the bleeding! What goes around, has indeed come around. As dumb A*s Texas governor Perry would say "ADIOS MO FO!"

Please pick…..Sarah Palin! Or Jeff Sessions or John "Wetcheeks" Boehner or Joe Walsh or Adam West. Come ON, please do it. We want to win by more than 56/44 and any of these would do it!

Pick Bobby Jindal–that's a Losing Ticket!

The republican party have destroyed their credibility since the Bush years and up till now… its amazing if anyone votes for republican… Ron Paul is the most credible, although I disagree with his policies… but lets face it, the rest of the republicans are nuts.. only one reason to vote republican is if you are filthy rich and do not want to pay more taxes…. although I'm angry with obama with his tame liberal policies since he took office… he is the only option… I would pick roseanne barr instead of romney who is CORPORATION FIRST, PEOPLE LAST.

It seems you just born yesterday! Where was ALL your concern of these issues when bUHS was still in
office? Bush open the south BORDER in complement with his SIS-IN-LAW who is a MEXican. 20 million
mexican allowed to cross that border as easy as going to the park.
When bUSH left office, Federal budget, Nat'l & Global economy,jobs, integrity, morality, patriotism, lives
of our soldiers was hemorrhaging! That trillions of $$ comes with a wise and calculated ideas rescued all the problems that Bush CREATED. Bush biggest mistake was his failure to understand Usama Bin ladin biggest
threat for US Economy and 911 which he successfully prevailed, by going to war with Iraq and a year later
retaliation to Afghanistan was a non-sense. not to mention those billions $$ corruptions from his Buddies!!!
Your grand kids $$ was rescued by Obama. Its up to your republican congress if they are willing to work
for the student loans in the future or still be a PARTY OF NO just to let Obama and the country fail!

Hey VICE President Pick?
I suggested Mr. Dick Cheney, just take away the shotgun. He is proven.

All of these individuals are as qualified or more qualified than President Obama was when he ran for president.

First off, I am voting for Romney for one reason, and ONLY one reason…..OBAMA MUST BE DEFEATED FOR THE SAKE OF THE UNION!

Now, one should pick a VP for the reason of replacing the President if something was to happen to him….BUT….the reality is he will need to pick a candidate that is NOT a White Male and IS from a Swing State.

That would seem to point to Rubio. Although I don't think Romney has the b**ls to do it, Ken Blackwell, the former Ohio Secretary of State would be an African-American staunch Conservative from a Swing State with a large number of electoral votes (2nd only to Florida among the swing states). I believe that would WIN the election for Romney!

No matter WHO he picks, I'm sure the great and powerful BHO will tell us why its such a bad pick (as opposed to that stellar statesman Joe Biden!)

I don't really care. having romney get the GOP nomination is enough to make me lose sleep at night. the thought of romney mashing it up with rubio and especially jindal is horrifying!

Well, I had a few words to say about Obama; but I guess it was sensored, too bad. I think Romney needs a running mate with Charisma to beat this socalled colored muslim no good disgusting example of a human being, that being our current president. Notice I did not capitalize president because this disgusting colored piece of fecies is a disgrace to the human race, someone should take him out and shoot the fother mucker amd dut his cick off to prevent him from reproducing any more morons in his image. He is one disgusting lying piece of s..t I wish he could be deported back to his soul brothers in Kenya, that is where this useless piece of garbage belongs. W hat a useless picece of Commie Craparoni.

I think you might mean "moot".

SARAH! SARAH! SARAH! SARAH! SSSSAAAAARRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH! She knows Russia!

Is Roseanne actually running for president?? Oh the horror! LOL!

Dick Cheney is downright scary! But, you do have a point there! Condi should run as far away from Romeny as he dainty little heels can take her. She is too smart for his camp!

Sorry…The Good Black Folks of the USA are not too sweet on Condi. We still have bad memories of the Bush years. And we kinda like for our women to stay away from weak white men who want to use her brains and take all of the credit. Ok? She is one of GW Bush's left overs.

Ron Paul is too smart to follow in King Mitt's shadow. But on the other hand, you are right about that!

Jeb Bush should be his running mate. C'mon! Let's give another Bush a chance!

Sarah Palin was so much fun to watch during the last election. I would love to hear her proclaim how she can see Russia from her back porch! LOL!

Condi would be a smooth move. Selecting her will remind us all why President Obama won the last election in the first place: George W Bush and the nerve of John McCain thinking that we would vote for Sarah Palin because she was a woman.

I changed my mind…I forgot about Newt Gingrich! Turn old New loose and let his ride one more time!

No they're not… They're Republicans.

Did anyone see HBO's movie 'Game Change'? LOL what a hoot!

I'd like to see Mitch Daniels. He has been a really good govornor for Indiana.

Mitt will win in a landslide no matter who he picks! This current communist we have in office will not get 4 more years to systematically dismantle our Constitution. Obama is a fraud, a thief, and a traitor who should hang for the irreparable damage he has caused this great country!

Dismantle our constitution? You mean like the Patriot Act? You know that document created by George W. which complete destroyed our right to stop illegal search and seizure in the name of "terrorist acts" which are not clearly enough defined to stop invasive searches with very little reason.

Or his action to strip any American citizen suspected of terrorism as an "enemy combatant" thereby removing their constitutional rights and imprisoning them without representation for the 'duration of the war on terror' AKA FOREVER.

Yes James just like the patriot act which Obama expanded on and continues. Just like that! Im a Constitutional Conservative buddy. I dont accept the shredding of the Constitution from either party so your attacking GW in defense of Obama is weak. Obama and his communist band of gangsters are going down in Nov.

I am constantly amazed that you decry the inappropriate behaviors of some *whose actions are limited to thier most immediate family*, while enthusiastically championing the inappropriate behavior of others *whose actions will affect millions* in your political choice. Mitt Romney used to be a reasonable moderate until his decision to run for president put him into the hands of the devil. You can see in his every expression and movement the tension of his cognitive disconnect. And now, choosing this freakazoid running mate!? THAT one is dyed-in-the-wool evil. He is a sociopath. How can you support that?
