I wonder if he will pick Newt Gingrich

It would be like Rmoney's Dick Cheney. They obviously are having issues with the "media" and maybe ol' greasy newty would be just what they think they need to put them in line.


I got my two guesses, Kay Bailey and Newt




Oh, and Mittens, where are those taxes beeyatch!

Newt might take out a hit on Rmoney. It would be the only way Newt could be pResident, but he's the kind of guy who wants to win at all costs.

Plus, he's MORE corrupt than Rmoney, and that says a lot!

He can be a narrative changer for them is the biggest plus I see---

Not saying that Obama team wouldn't bring all his minuses to light

He's going to have to pick someone from a normally "blue" state or one in Obama's column at the moment to try and steal some electoral votes. My money's on Pat Toomey (PA), Bob "Vaginal Probe" McDonnell (VA), Rick Snyder (FL), or Tim Pawlenty (MN).

3. Hey Mitt! How about the guy who divorced his wife while she was in hospital with breast cancer!

6. I say they will pick McCain or draft Rice.

She will drain away some of Obama's black vote. She worries me the most. I think the people who will vote due to McCain are already voting for Mittens. Fools!

7. Too unlikeable

Even Republicans can figure out that both Romney and Gingrich are unlikeable--as a pair they'd be deadly. Look for someone who can charm the evangelicals.
