Romney VP search: free-floating speculation and wish list thread

It's considered rude to quit one's job running the CIA with less than 2 weeks notice.  Always leave them enough time to hire a replacement and train them on the phones.

He needs a southerner on the ticket. Going with Thune will show that Romney doesn't give a **** about the South.

This is why he should go with Christine O'Donnell.

Obama has not had a single Southerner (black, white, or otherwise) in his cabinet -- probably the first President ever to show so much contempt for a region that holds 30% of the U.S. population.  I think even Lincoln had a Southerner or two (wasn't the slaveowning Blair the Postmaster General?) and he was in war against the South.

Whatever happened to the former first lady of Arkansas?  Wasn't she in the mix at one point?

Thune is winning?

Oh, board.

It won't be a 20-monther. IMO either Portman or Ryan. Portman has spent more time with Romney but Ryan has by far the best chemistry, so take from that what you will.

Portman is a 20-monther. Then again, he does have prior experience in the House...and as Bush's budget director.

Portman's problem is his resume not his lack of resume.  Not a disqualifying one but a problem.
