Romney Veep

[Lincoln Republican]

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

He is conservative enough to appeal to the GOP base yet mainstream enough to not frighten independents and moderates.

I have been naming Graham as a running mate for Romney on this forum for the past three or four years.

I have also been thinking of a twenty year younger version of Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana.  However, I don't know if one exists.

At the moment, realistically, like him or not, Romney is the only potential GOP Presidential nominee with the credentials, the gravitas, and the stature for national office.

I have to agree with NiK that newly elected Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia would be a good pick for VP for Romney.

McDonnell does come with very impressive credentials and Romney and McDonnell as a ticket would be serious contenders.
