Ricky is open to being Mitten's running mate

"Of course. I mean, look. I would do in this race as I always say, this is the most important race in our country's history. I'm going to do everything I can. I'm doing everything I can. I'm out there. In the last 10 months, I've had five days off. Two for Thanksgiving, and three for Christmas. I've been working every single day. My wife and my kids, we're just busting our tail, because we know their future and all of our childrens' future is at stake in this election and I don't want to be the guy who has to sit with my granddaughter, 20 years from now, and tell stories about an America where people once were free. I don’t want to have that conversation."

The choices are so hard for a man like Rmoney to make:

Hardest fork in choices among those:
male or female?

Romney has been picking up most votes and delegates except by evangelicals. santorum has been winning all those votes. if they combined their winnings it could put them ahead. don't laugh.

Because he can't win the South. My family members are saying that they will write in a candidate before they will vote for him.

If you ask a Southern conservative whether they would like to vote for Romney, or get run over by a tractor, they are going to choose "run over by a tractor".

Santorum being the VP choice won't do anything, because they just don't like Romney. Look at the polls. Texas is going to be another place where he loses, and I already predicted way ahead of time that Romney would lose Louisiana.
