If Romney wants to win, he needs to choose a southern conservative. Prefer a minority. No more northern moderates or the Evangelicals will stay home along with Baptists and others. I personally like Col. Allen West from Florida. He has the Military experience that Romney does not have, but needs. Just my opinion.

Or does he plan to? That will be an important sign, though I think that Walker would be a very risky pick.

My sister lives in Tennessee and has no use for the guy. Can’t wait to vote him out of office at the earliest opportunity.

If he chooses a Governor, which I doubt, then Jindal is the most logical choice. Just hope he improves his public speaking skills beyond that stiff performance in response to State of the Union. Noted this is part 1 of series

she is probably going to be important in ’20. How about Gov. Jindal? I like the geographic balance, he is a Catholic and, while not a Doctor, has a Masters from Oxford in health policy and was a pre-med.

I figured you’d covered him and I think he’s a good pick too. The Left will sling dirt on anyone and we know they’ve been after him and other states on this topic so at least it’s not a new surprise on their part. Thanks again.

as willing, polished and able. Mentioned in part 1. He would be an interesting choice, but one where Democrats might try to exploit with, as I said, injceting the specter of transvaginal ultrasounds into the campaign lexicon. BUT- he has the credentials.

I believe she is strong in this area. She is a conservative Christian who attended Pensacola Christian College in Florida.
She has a son with Downs Syndrome, which will endear her to ProLifers.
Her husband is a retired naval commander, which I think also adds to her conservative appeal.
She is my congressman and I was surprised to hear that she was someone people were raising as a possible VP choice for Romney. I didn’t realize how strong her leadership position in Congress is.
To me she is just someone who we can always count on in Washington State, and a bright spot in our liberal political landscape.

Governor of Virginia? I didn’t get to read posts on part 1 & 2 so sorry if you already covered him. He’s done a lot of good in VA and his term is up.

Personally I’d rather not have any Rep. Senator as his VP choice, provided their odds of re-election are good since we need to keep their seat and add to our totals. The only exception is if it is a Senator from a super-red state, but why chance it? Same for House members.
