Romney is getting pummeled this news cycle. Won't he have to do something to get

[FSogol]

back in the limelight? He can't inspire anyone with his words, so what else does he have? Attack ads? Think he'll push up the VP selection from 2 weeks before the convention to late July? Will his current troubles cause him to make a less boring pick than he would otherwise? What does everyone think?

1. He's going on the attack

and looking sadly desperate.

Keep digging Mitt.

2. Martin Bashir is on now

can't wait to hear what he has to say.

3. I think he has the same problem that Grandpa McCain had

a rapidly deteriorating image, and in need of a quick "game change."

Watch closely, this is the stuff they'll be writing the TV movie scripts about in a year or two.

4. Yup and McCain screwed up by making a sexy* choice instead of a smart choice.

Will Mitt make the same mistake?

* In Grandpa's opinion, not mine.

5. Agree. He needs a comely white Xtian female who is willing to flaunt and shimmer

to breathe some life into rednecks who are sitting on the sidelines while Obama is clubbing him relentlessly about his lack of ethics. In short, he needs to change the subject to her sexiness. Came within a whisker of working for McGrampy. Palin is shop worn, but maybe one of those reader honeys on Faux Newz will do it.

8. Yes. His hand will be forced and he'll start making even worse mistakes

like McCain with Palin and then "suspending" his campaign.

[FSogol]

9. If he thinks it is bad today, imagine the day after his 1st debate with Obama.

[DCBob]

6. He will lie more.

That's his strongest attribute.

7. He'll pick Rubio for VP soon. The media will go berserk with it and that's all she wrote on Baingate

[Rosanna Lopez]

10. Rubio is probably out

As I've said before, Rubio is unlikely to be chosen:

1. He is too young & inexperienced (only been in the Senate for 1.5 years).

2. Would have trouble debating Joe Biden.

3. Has been caught lying by the Florida press about when his parents arrived from Cuba.

4. Would not help Romney much with the Latino vote (most Latinos won't vote for a conservative Cuban from Florida).

5. Might not even help him carry Florida.

6. Would overshadow Mitt Romney.

7. Rubio used to be a Mormon (not a crime, but would look to some as if the Mormons are 'taking over'.)

[AlinPA]

11. Your #6 Is what my post suggests. Media would go bonkers. Didn't know he was a Mormon previously.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

12. I'm going with Condolezzaliesalot

[AlinPA]

13. Yes, that would make the media go absolutely bonkers.
