Dems unleash research on possible Romney VPs

Source: USA Today

A Democratic super PAC unleashed reams of information today on top prospects to be Mitt Romney's running mate, publishing more than 1,300 pages and posting a host of videos on Rob Portman, Tim Pawlenty and Marco Rubio.

American Bridge 21st Century, which devotes itself to opposition research to help Democrats, shared its material on a new website, Veepmistakes.com.

"Four years after Sarah Palin, Republicans are once again poised to put forward a deeply flawed candidate as their vice presidential nominee," the website says. "But you don't have to take our word for it. See what's in the cards and decide for yourself."

On Portman, there is information on the Ohio senator's days as a lobbyist in the 1980s, his work on trade issues and the budget in George W. Bush's administration, and his stands on a host of issues.

is going to avoid this sinking ship. Rmoney will have to find some obscure person with nothing to lose to have run on the ticket. Another Sarah Palin but let's hope one with a bit more of a clue about how governments work.

It's sad that a large portion of the party that Condi belongs to would not vote for her for the same reason they hate Obama so much. It has nothing to do with policy.

that he VP selection process has become so twisted that its a spectacle by itself ? I call it , 'Palinized', or 'Dicked'
which idiot evil genius will they choose ?Can they find anyone worse than Dan Quail? Will Condi be the new Colin? Is she? The forces of the republican party are tearing themselves apart with this It is a pagent. The judges are all divided . Will mittens have to decide? Will he be permitted? The republicans rarely permit the candidate to make any decisions. The answer is no.Its getting harder and harder to find a candidate who is a complete robot/idiot vacuous posing fool. Its dam near impossible. But they try.
