Since everyone now concedes that Mitt Romney is the presumptive Republican nominee, the talking heads are now focused on who he will chose to be his running mate. Who do you think that he will pick?

(I am listing the six candidates that I have seen mentioned most often along with an "other" category for those who like "dark horses.")

I believe that since Romney is not very well liked by the GOP he needs someone that will appeal to them and I think Jeb Bush just might do it for him. I realize he's another Bush but he gives off an aura of reasonableness unlike his brother. I've also thought he might choose Paul Ryan the Tparty darling.
 
Won't be Rubio....he brings nothing to the table. They can't use their "no experience" line they used on the President in 2008. He doesn't guarentee Florida. And Latino voters will see it as a pander and ask "Why do Cubans get automatic citizenship when they arrive here...but we don't?"

Nor will it be a woman. Too much of a reminder of Palin...even if the woman Romney picked was smart and experienced (unlike Gidget).

I'm saying "Other"...but could be Portman. i.e. boring middle-aged white guy.
 
Tim Pawlenty. The job of the VP nominee is to defend and advocate the POTUS nominee's policies. That severely limits the VP pool for Willard. Pawlenty has been Willard's best surrogate since he dropped out of the race.
 
It should be Marco Rubio and if he won't do it, Jeb Bush. Yes. I said Jeb Bush. The others are just way too boring.

Well I hope it is Rubio - he brings nothing to the table, except a family history of criminality and distortion of the truth. The majority of the hispanic population does not approve of him http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/04/17/rubio-would-give-romney-no-florida-bounce-poll/ even in Florida, much less nationwide http://www.politifact.com/florida/s...ispanics-support-dream-act-marco-rubio-does-/

And Jeb Bush carries the Bush Name... that's a REAL WINNER for President...


I'd love to see either one as Romney's VP...

I say Susan Martinez. First female VP, first Hispanic VP. Makes sense to me.

Martinez is a clear pander to the Hispanic vote. PRoblem is that she doesn't have much name recognition and is likely to PerryOut in any debate. She's basically another Sarah Palin. So untried as to be dangerous.

Oh, and Obama would never THINK of pandering for votes, would he? Ha, Obama is the father of pandering.

REally? So making up annecdotes about "welfare queens driving cadillacs" wasn't pandering? Please. ALL Pols pander. the issue is that Picking Martinez would be an OBVIOUS Pander that gives the Hispanics nothing of what they really want. That's what happened with Palin - it was an obvious pander to the Women and Youth vote - but so clumsy that it actually ALIENATED those who it was supposed to attract

And the risk is that of anouther Sarah Pal with Martinez. And Romney has not shown any prediliction whatsoever EVER IN HIS LIFE for taking risks.

Obama is where he is today because of Democrat pandering to the welfare community and to the Marxist Socialist America haters like George Soros and Warren Buffett.

LOL!!!!

Right - it just a big big George Soros conspiracy. A man who you would think the Conservatives would get behind: Self made, refugee from Stalin, who has used his own wealth to help topple the USSR.... but because he hates authoritarians - he is a boogeyman to Conservatives!!!

ROTFLMAO!!!
 
I still lean toward Jeb. The Bush family harbors the only Republican Presidents that most voters these days can even remember. Choosing a Bush is about as close to "Presidential" as they'll get with this pool of candidates. Doesn't hurt to have Columba along as a stage prop either.

Besides, the Bushes have proved, in no uncertain terms, that the know how to win Florida.

Yep, Democrats have George Soros and Occupy Wall Street; Conservatives have the Koch Brothers and the Tea Party.

Soros runs around the word destroying currencies and funding Marxism and Occupy wall street defecates on police cars, breaks windows, and destroys public property. The Koch Brothers employ people, pay taxes and create products and the Tea Party has moved on from demonstrations where they cleaned up after themselves, to actually working to get conservatives elected through legitimate political means.

I'll take the Koch Brothers and the Tea Party any day.
