Free Republic Veep Poll

[Joe27]

If the party cared to listen (not that they do), who would be your first suggestion as VP?

[MNJohnnie]

Paul Ryan

[null and void]

Interesting. And when the ‘rats charge him on Constitutional grounds, we challenge The Once on the same grounds...

[Reily]

Newt or Trump because the VP is supposed to be the junkyard attack dog in a presidential campaign. Those two would be pictures staring back at you in a political dictionary defining role of a VP during a campaign.
Though any would do. I prefer Bachman and Ryan to stay in the House and get the budget under control. Bachman for Speaker now that would be delicious!
West could add a interesting “demographic” dynamic, maybe help in Florida. I would like to see him run for higher office in Florida first like Governor or Senator. Cain right now is “too damaged” wrongly damaged but still damaged! The MSM would turn that into all they would talk about, and Axelrod would pay for more bimbo attacks. Cain need to run for higher office in Georgia.
Rubio on the ticket might be enough to deliver Florida, no small contribution, but seems to mild mannered to run for VP.
Palin as much as I would love to see it her time has come and gone. Besides the “independents” which Zero has lost might reconsider and return or stay at home. Also Romney's inroads into the women's vote might reverse. The Palin Derangement Syndrome of these groups (including many women GOP’ers) is inexplicable to me ! It exists and in significant numbers. Pail needs to go back to Alaska and end Lisa M royal Senate career! Then we could talk come back.

Jim DeMint. Michelle Bachmann.

[puppypusher]

Sarah Palin or Allen West.If neither of those two are not picked you can expect Romney to go RINO on us.

We can't afford that any longer.

[GRRRRR]

Lt. Col. West...a REAL MAN, a HERO, a straight talker...

[Vision]

Newt

[mnehring]

West

[BornToBeAmerican]

Sarah Palin......... Amen

[BornToBeAmerican]

Sarah Palin......... Amen

[commonguymd]

Palin I think would be my first choice.

Who will he actually pick? Mcdonnell from Virginia is my first guess. Rubio is my second guess. Third, Martinez.

Who does he really want? I would say he really wants Hillary Clinton, or some other verifiable lefty.

[DefeatCorruption]

Paul Ryan...(Rubio lost my support by bashing Bachmann on the serious threat of muslime infiltration in our government)

[j_k_l]

Dan Quayle - He’s experienced and through vigorous Hooked On Phonics sessions can now spell ‘Potato’.

[FatherofFive]

West

[FatherofFive]

West

[Liberty Valance]

West

[Revolting cat!]

None of the Above.

[VeniVidiVici]

Newt or Allen West.

[exit82]

Allen West— conservative, military experience, understands fore cheats in the modern world, has combat experience,from FL—all things Romney
Lacks.

Second choice is Paul Ryan— if you are going to fix the economy, you need to reign in the government— and Ryan knows the most about the budget.
