I wonder how many seconds it would have took for Cain to say "Yes!", if Mitt Romney offered him the VP nod.

Why Rice? Jeez, she was already Bush's Sec. State, which is going to drive away tons of people, and she'd be Pro Choice, Romney was already toeing the line with the Conservatives.

Rice has very little experience on domestic issues too.

I say Rubio would have been the strongest. It would have given him Florida for sure, and I think he would have helped in some western states like Nevada, New Mexico & Colorado.

She would have excited a lot of people who were bored with the election. These people ended up reelecting President Obama. I don't think she would have done a damn thing to ward off conservatives; that was all on Romney. And I believe that Bush baggage was mostly a myth in 2012.

She also has none of the baggage on domestic issues that Paul Ryan had.

"not conservative enough"
Considering the guy was Pro-Choice, the Conservatives (Yes I know I ramble on about the Conservatives a lot) are going to stay home.

Yes, because pro-lifers will stay home and not vote for a pro-life candidate because of a pro-choice VP nominee when the most pro-choice President in a generation is on the ropes Roll Eyes

Here's an interesting question:

Ron Paul as Romney's VP

Stroke of genius, or absolute disaster?
