Do you think Romney needs a Southern running mate?

I think Thune is far better to appeal to Evangelicals.  Most will stay home rather than vote for Obama or Romney, and that is far more dangerous to Romney.  GOTV is extremely important and essential in close elections.  Dubya Bush won both campaigns with strong christian GOTV.  Also, Portman is seen as a moderate, and Romney is seen as a moderate, and that won't appeal to base voters.
