1. I think Pawlenty is likely

That sounds so odd....

[elleng]

4. I think Pawlenty would be a good choice, for rmoney, not for us.

He's done a good job as surrogate, imo; good on his feet, smart, knows the issues and rmoney, not enamoured with himself.

[Rowdyboy]

5. I tend to agree...had he not dropped out right after that stupid Iowa straw poll where Bachman won

he would very likely have won the nominaton. Dumbest move T-Paw ever made was when he quit the race. "He coulda been a contender..."

[Tony_FLADEM]

2. Bobbie Jindal

[dimbear]

3. Paul Ryan is the only one who can uphold the standards of greed demanded by Mitt. n/t

10. Good point.

[MADem]

5. I really have no idea, but of the bunch on that list, Pawlenty does the most good.

He's the most "hooked into" the GOP national machine, his ground game would be a thousand percent better than RMoney's is right now, he knows where the bodies are buried, how local offices run their gigs, and he knows a lot of the regional "behind-the-scenes" movers and shakers. Plus, he might do RMoney some good in Minnesota (or maybe not, but he wouldn't hurt).

5. I think it could still be

Rubio. Rmoney really, really needs the Hispanic vote. It will sway some, but if they steal it, it might be their out. Magoo picked Palin, why not Rubio.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. They are saying Rubio is out of the running.

He has not been vetted yet and it's too late to start now.

And you know whoever they pick will be thoroughly vetted. They won't make that mistake again.

[Politicalboi]

12. Yes the GOP never

Repeats their mistakes. LOL! Rmoney really hasn't been vetted either, but they're running with him. We keep finding out more bad shit about him every week.

[Bozita]

8. Pawlenty, cuz the only guy who could make Rmoney look exciting is Pawlenty

Plus: Those two assclowns deserve each other.

[Bozita]

11. Pawlenty, cuz he's the only guy who would accept blame for the loss of the upcoming election

Bullies always need an assclown to be a fallguy in ventures failed.

[Carla in Sequim]

13. My 'other' vote is

Jeb Bush. He could get Florida or be doomed by his toxic name.

[Douglas Carpenter]

14. almost everyone in the know agrees that Sen. Rob Portman from Ohio is a leading contender

currently Intrade is giving him a 23.8% chance

followed by Pawlentry with a 21.9% chance

http://www.intrade.com/jsp/intrade/contractSearch/

although Portman might be a little be too far removed from current GOP orthodoxy given his support for the automobile industry bailout. Pawlenty may have a bit more street cred with right-wing Evangelicals - a group that probably needs a bit more placating from Romney.

[elleng]

16. Portman's got good, relevant experience,

I thought he'd be useful, but public hasn't seen him. Pawlenty's been an effective surrogate, and may have established relationship w rmoney.

[flamingdem]

24. yes, he needs to be on the list!

[HopeHoops]

15. The white spy from MAD's "Spy vs. Spy"

[Aerows]

17. Pawlenty

because he is as boring, overbearing and lacking a soul as Mitt Romney is.

[cynatnite]

18. Rubio should be on this list as well...

I think he's got a shot at getting picked. There are a few others, but I don't think they are very likely.

[Bucky]

19. Other: Ted Nugent

or, failing that, Miley Cyrus.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. My friend just saw a Nugent for Prez bumper sticker yesterday

Yuck.

[Ruby the Liberal]

20. Has Susana Martinez publically declined a nomination?

She was my early pick.

[Motown_Johnny]

22. Pawlenty so he has a shot at being next in line after Rmoney tanks.

[Logical]

23. How could you leave off Rubio??????

[lpbk2713]

25. Lee Greenwood.

Why not?


They voted for RayGun on name recognition more than anything else.
It sure as hell wasn't because he was capable.

[MoonRiver]

26. I've heard Portman is the likely one.

[treestar]

27. Someone we have not yet heard of

McDumb got a big rush in the polls when he surprised everyone on his VP pick. Rmoney will try the same thing. Some sort of gimmick. Maybe it will be a business person who has never held office before.

28. Where are the southerners?
